In Glen Waverley. 5 minutes before we decided to move the other skyline under the carport so it wouldn't get wet. Talking to my mother over the road on the phone saying maybe don't walk back just yet because it looks like very heavy rain. 1 or 2 drops of rain then next second a golf ball smashes in the middle of the court out of no where. Couldn't quite believe my eyes.. i'm telling mum what happened and then it hit proper. One of the PVC pipes to the water tanks got hit and smashed a hole through it! While I was trying to fix it I got hit square on the toe nail, I got back inside quick smart! My toe is now bleeding.. fair the craziest weather I have ever seen here!

1 broken window on the house, a large branch down on the roof. Daily undercover so fine, yet to just the work in progress fun car. House was shaking from the hail hits - wishing I'd put in the gutter guard I've had sitting here for weeks now...

Got a pretty bad 15/20 minute storm here in Bayswater. No flooding or anything because we live at the top of a hill though. But Caroline Springs was absolutely slaughtered. My poor mum and sisters got stuck in water whilst driving. Mum's car's flooded, won't start. Started floating away because the water got too high but some nice men went and helped my dad to push it up onto some dryish land.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • 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?
    • 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.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
