Went Skydiving today... 14,000ft @ Nagambie (on the was to Shepp)

Wasn't too bad - nowhere near the rush i was expecting... So thinking about doing the solo course soonish.

ANYWAY, anyone interested in going up in the next couple of months??? Could organise a few of us to head up on a Sat etc etc.

I'll probably go another tandem again just to get a better feel for it now i know whats going on etc etc.

Overall it was great fun, such a weird sensation... :down:

Trust me when you see other parachuting down while your waiting it really makes you want to go. And seeing that no one plowed into the ground it also a plus lol. Mind you 14000 ft is above the clouds so you fall through them :D when you out there and already start falling any fear you have dissapears. It I'd an awesome sensation even though it really hurts your cheeks lol

We went for my birthday last month at Mission Beach north of Townsville QLD. Ment to be the best jump site in Aus because you can see the entire reef and coastline.

Ash if it wasn't the rush you were expecting you must have balls of steel! I thought it was insane!

I did the mission beach jump too, 14,000ft. Did it on a clear day so could see the whole ocean and beach. Was awesome.

The day before I jumped i was watching others skydive. One of the jumpers parachute didnt deploy and roman candled. He had to deploy the 2nd parachute which is much smaller and they both landed with a thud on the beach haha

Didnt stop me from going on my jump the next day haha

Ye my best mate did a jump from there or maybe Rainbow... somewhere up that north way... view was tops.

Seriously not the rush i was expecting at all. In the plane on the way up i wasn't even getting jittery about it all which was strange lol.

I was like "oh f**k" for about the first 2 seconds as we were spinning around but after that it was all sweet :)

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
