lol.. you missed some again! Will be at nunawading heading down to the peninsula

It's the hand car wash on whitehorse road/maroonda hwy although I think blackburn might be more accurate. And yes it's good! While I was driving after it rained for a couple of minutes (spewin), was too stubborn to put my windscreen wipers on and create a line mark so I left them off (visibilty surprisingly wasn't a problem). Once the rain stopped it dried perfectly without a mark!!! Then I drove it down my gravel driveway an hour later :blush:

ps, love driving out of those places after they have shined your wheels, feels like ice skates :P

Ah ok gotcha!

Yeah hate that, after washing your car, it rains, Melbourne does that to you.

One time I washed my wheels and wet for a drive to dry them off, the rained! FUUCCK!

Haha!

So what your saying is you like wet tyres and go for a bit of a "drift" :laugh:

looooollll yes I guess that's why I got this car hey :blush:

My car came with really shit tyres that are still on it... I don't understand why someone would pay $$$ for goot tyres when losing traction is oh so much more fun :laugh:

we'll see what you say when you do an emergency stop in the wet and end up sliding into a car...

It's all relative... if you have shit tyres you need to be more careful. If you have good tyres you can push them harder therefore not needing as much precaution. There's still a choice, it just means I drive more subdued that someone with good tyres if I want to keep traction.

Rekin: Again, all relative. I drive the Ring road home and to work every day, I see plenty of accidents and I have never come close to sliding into a car, even in the wet. It would be the same with good tyres. As long as you know they are shit you can then drive according to their quality. With bad quality tyres my following distance is extended. I've emergency stopped enough on a bike in the wet to know the ultimate "Holy F**k!" situation which included losing the front end (somehow I didn't drop it), it certainly makes you aware of braking distances in all vehicles.

I know what you must be thinking and I would probably think the same about someone that said what I said if I didn't know them. If you can take all of the above into consideration I hope you understand that I don't play with fire without knowing how to control it. Will keep you posted though. If I do end up someones arse I will definitely let you know and appologise as I can definitely accept that my experience and knowledge has a long way to go. :(

^^ Hah!

Just take it easy.

When time comes for a tyre change, it will do you good to get a decent set.

Looks like another car wash meet is coming up - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ap...-c-t312892.html

    • 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.
