Yeah, when I've got my targa shades in it's too dark. If they're off then I get heaps of light from above. Girlfriend still reaches over and flicks the switch on anyway :P

probably the same kind of person that'd buy an N/A Supra...

A P plater who wants something faster than an N/A Skyline? :P

R33 GTS25 = 140kW / 1390kg

Supra SZ = 164kW / 1460kg

R33 = 101kw per tonne

Supra = 112kw per tonne

Well of course people on SAU will say Skylines are better :P I'm indifferent because I'd prefer an MR2.

At the end of the day, the point I was trying to make is that a Supra makes a great P plate car. Reliable and still quick enough to have fun in.

Just look at Kez - at SAU events he's down there ripping around the track in his Supra, giving everyone a run for their money.

Whether you like the looks of them comes down to personal taste.

I prefer the look of R32s over Supras too. I almost bought an R34 instead, but it was too sluggish.

So, you finally sold all your cars... Almost (Supra still needs to go).

Finally put it into the MR2 Turbo and actually come out on a cruise.

I haven't had the other 2 for agessss man :P

But yeah, Supra was meant to be gone today but the dead battery screwed me around.

MR2 should be 100% functional pretty soon :D Then I'll come on a cruise or even organise something myself.

      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.

      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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
