Thanks again to Madaz for the NPC clutch he sourced a couple of weeks ago for me - its rad...

Picked the car up with the 33 S2 box and clutch fitted and did a hills run to wear it in. Have to get used to just how firm and precise it is but I finally have all my power going to the wheels.

Winning.

You'll love it ben. Try some hill starts in both forward gears and reverse. My pedal feel changed overnight about the 700 km mark.

Not a bad idea at all!

Also kudos to Shaun and Will at Boostworx for not only getting the job done on time, but they managed to come in under the price they quoted, in spite of having to do extra work. Great service!

^gotta like that! Is that still a five speed box or was that the first of the six speeders Dohmar??

Nah its a 5 speed. Series 2 R33 GTR box (dual synchros tho). Still have many KM to make the gearbox lube up and unlimber. Every gear was stiff when I first started driving but now 3rd and 4th are feeling normal, 1st, 2nd and reverse are getting there, just need to shift in and out of 5th for a bit as theres a lot of pressure when I move the shifter to the right. I'm sure it'll go away in a while (box was stripped and cleaned in many fluids I dont even know the name of and reassembled with martini mineral oil used for the gearbox (not that blue shockproof shite!)

Box had to get converted from pull to push, thankfully BW has done it a lot and they have their procedure down pat...

yeah i was the fastest in it last (run) simulator event night

its as close to racing without being in a 100k+ race car

there is a weight limit of 90kg based on the seat actuators obviously he could put bigger in but then the build cost blows out

such a shame

thoughts are with Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi too........they must be equally as gutted having been involved in such an unfortunate accident. 2 motorsport deaths in a week, such a shame :(

RIP Simoncelli, one of the most exciting riders to watch this year. live footage is pretty upsetting

I'm trying to fix my harness in properly and having some troubles. Anyone know where I can get or have made a 10 x 1.25 pitch eye bolt? Very much like the link following

I use Redline in Everything, the Blue smurf blood, shockproof isnt supposed to be used in gearboxes, unless specified(some front wheel drive cars ) , it will damage your synchros since it reduces friction so much the synchros smash . you need to use MTL or 90 weight Redline oil I dont know how many people dont listen to proper advice and blame a product for the failure.

call redline in oz, great people to deal with.

I use 140wt Smurf Blood in the aftermarket LSD. and it lowers the temp a lot and hooks up in a instant, way better then the nissan oil, or synpower crap.

and MTL on my trans,metal part of the shifter never even gets hot now. !!! and synchros dont clash as before , had synpower for a few hours before dumping that out

      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...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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?

      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.

      Could it really happen......

      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.
