One of the guys wearing an LS1 shirt came over and said to Chaos (who was in my passenger seat) 'most of the Commodores have spare seats, so if you want a ride in a V8 instead of a ricer for a change, just ask em'.

To which I would have said "I would, but today I want to go fast around corners and up a hill, not fast in a straight line on a flat road"

Stupid knuckle draggers :flamed:

Nah it was nothing like that, it was said as a light-hearted dig, he wasn't serious. We were picking on them for being bogans most of the day, they were calling us ricers. It was all just a bit of fun. But yeah, I thought of heaps of things about 5 seconds after he walked away... DAMN!!!

haha yeh the holden boys did quite well. even blakey said on our first stop he was playing with a few of them at the lights :D. All in all was a great day despite the vy wanting to be a 4x4 and doing some off road driving both driver and passenger were ok.

Hey guys,

Finally made it back to the sunny coast. I have to say that was a fun day and yes a holden guy stuck his head in my car too and asked my girl and my mate's girl if they wanted to cruise in the holdens but they politely told him to f***k off :( I think mine was the only car with 4 people and yet I was still keeping up with the black R8 on the straights between Mt Glorious and Summerset dam :O

I've attached a few pics of the day... more to come. The silver commy in pics 1794 and 1795 was the unlucky one who stopped against a tree when he went offroad :) Apparently it was mentioned on a radio station news report the next morning but I was too hungover to hear it. I too got pics of the car but you can only see the arse end as the rest is covered by long grass, shrubs and trees... the only trippy part of the pics is the steep angle of the drop down to the car.

Mud is the R33 in the middle of pic 1781 with Marc on the right and myself on the left... unfortunately Mud had to work (poor bugger) so he couldn't join in the fun.

good work amn, I'm so stupid I should ahve woke up and went even though i was sick, but i slept most of the day anyway. I couldnt speak on saturday at all so I would have been hopeless :O next time :( and I'll have new tyres to grip with also, too much drifting at work.

    • 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.
    • 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...
