We'll be going, might try to get a car on the SAU stand this year, probably the silver GTR if I can get nicer wheels to fit over these brakes - Will take the BSM GTR and open wheeler to the SDMA stand.

Unless its p!ssing down rain of course, then I think I will stay at home... I know Im slack.

F1 is on in the afternoon, so unless you're in Melbourne to see it live, you can still come to wheels and watch the F1 in the afternoon :woot:

I think John has the banner... not sure who owned the tent from last time (might have been John as well?)... so I guess if he's going, then the answer is yes.

Otherwise someone else might want to grab the banner, find a tent, and take charge :)

So are we any closer to having a final count?

Do we have to do anything in the way of registering beforehand - or is there just a designated area in the park to turn up to?

Also is it in the bit between finance and treasury or is it the park area between the national library and the lake?

It's directly in front of Old Parliament House... that whole area and off to the sides as well.

There's a designated area for Jap crap :P

And yes, I'm pretty sure we have told them we were coming in previous years.

Wow I totally forgot about it until my father called me and asked where I was.

Seems like no one has turned up anyway, bad day for it this year. No one asked for the banner or the tent (yes I have both and they are both club property)

Post up some picks if anyone goes. Otherwise I'll see everyone at the dyno day with hopefully working AFM's.

I took a couple of other photos as well. I was trying to get some photos of the Aston Martin's but it was crowded and people kept walking infornt of them. By the way, there is another thread with photos taken by Nathan.

serious? the ridiculous idle, cranck evac line, huge 80+mm turbo, 6 point roll cage etc wont give it away before they even bother opening the boot.

PS the guys with john there are firey's

No thats why I put the smile on it, however technically all those things can be enginered and pass EPA (with a lot of work). NOS is always instant fail.

Wasn't sure about the one in light blue :P

      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.
