Going good. I attached using screws with a larger washer as it holds it down well. So far the bottom rubber lip has been abused and well outlasted any frp, plastic or carbon If it scrapes it folds

Charles, you have inspired me, i think i might give this a go lol,

Nice job on yours too Pauly

Haha nice :P

But all in all, this $25 garage door seal does give a total new look to the car, it just makes it look a lot more tougher, although the lip itself is pretty thin, but it does make a massive difference. Will probably get better pics sometime next week :)

it does look really nice though but I don't think I could pull that off on the Do Luck kit thats going on the R32 in the next few weeks. I guess I will wait and see with the do luck kit and see if there is any way it can work with it.

Where are you getting that from? I can't find any except on carmate, but theirs looks funny.

Mine was sent up to brisbane from a place in Sydney but it took forever due to issues beyond the control of the place I ordered it from. I would look into DMD as I have heard good things about their kits and they will post as well. This was for a R32 not a R34 (which I am guessing you drive judging by your info on the left). If I remember correctly the old DMD R34 ran a Do Luck kit.

Oh yeh, it's not for my car lol. It's for a mates car, he has a 32. We have been looking for awhile but most places are ridiculously expensive and carmate have a different one which looks strange.

Thanks mate :)

how long did this take to arrive by the way? I'm not really keen to pay $50 to get express postage, but I am trying to get my car ready for a magazine shoot on the 26th, if it's going to take 16 days to get here then I'll have to pay the express.

getting some this week, thankyou Charles, been looking for something like this.

Isn't your car low enough with that Z-tune lip? :P

this has to be one of-if not the best- cosmetic backyard mod ive ever seen! well done charles

Haha cheeers

I wonder if this would work on my car.. :unsure:

It does say "universal".... :P

FYI folks, bunnings does not sell this product or anything like it

Haha yeah, I tried bunnings too xD

No, but Clark Rubber does :thumbsup:

I had a browse in their catalogue, didn't see anything close to what I want. They must have more at the stores?

Any chance they are called Baileys Channel? lol

Thats genious man! Looks great

Pity my cars a dark blue, it won't really show up if I did this but I may give it a go .. it is only 25 bucks!

Because of the colour of the seal, it isn't very noticable on the car, but it does give it a whole new different look :)

      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.

      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...
