raj had some good prices for his 2nd hand gear and the china stuff , not crazy cheap but not rip offs . He had a good collection of random stuff in that section upstairs which lots of wreckers don't keep , saved lots of people's asses heaps of times.

at the end of the day a real shop can not compete with some kid sitting on ebay or the internet forums posting stuff out of his bedroom

no problem if thats what you wan't but with a real shop you can go and get it on the day , look at , check it , if theres problems exchange it.

I remember going there god knows how long ago... can't remember what I was looking for but I remember it was farken expensive.

All the good deals are on the interwebs these days :)

Overall he wasn't expensive compared to other legit shops in Perth, you cant compare his business to some key board warrior working out of his bed room.

Any way a lot of the second hand parts he had in stock wont be popping up at a later date when needed, they were binned or sold as scrap value.

Should of seen the pallet of GTR carpets thrown out, images below are examples of what now is scrap metal, was so much binned gave up caring what they were for.

Another thing, this is one less workshop complying cars like R32's, R33's, 180's and so on, with others shutting down in the New Year.

Less competition drives the prices up.

Whats it cost to comply a 32 coupe ??

Steve May / Mayhem is still around although nearly impossible to get a hold of.

lol

If he's in the country he's pretty easy to get a hold of.

Emails are the best bet though.

^^ Any word on if their stock is being shifted to another business? or is it all in the bin ?

All stocks gone now.

People heard they were closing down and bought heaps of stuff cheap.

Far as I know left overs got sold to kyp.

I went there as Raj was shutting up shop. Got bulk stuff cheap i couldnt say no to cheap cheap. Got bulk head lights ect for spares was like 10 bux each or so. Was happy like a kid in a candy store. But yeah pretty sure everything has been binned if not he still has the "performance" parts. Thats was a few weeks ago tho so it could have been sent to KYP by now? Other than that all the spare parts they had was all smashed into big bins and sent to heaven hahaha

      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.
