Awesome video man, I have to get one of those cameras for my car quality was actually better then I expected.

Do you have any info on where to get the camera and how much they cost? Are they easy to setup and can they be moved from car to car?

The cheapest place for GoPros I've found is here: http://www.camerastore.com.au/

The video quality on their new ones is awesome, click the 1080p button in YouTube and you'll see what I mean. The audio quality isn't very good, but it's a huge improvement over their old ones. The 2nd camera looking into the car is an old GoPro Wide. They're pretty crap.

They have 2 buttons so they're easy to use, and the Motorsports Hero version comes with a heap of mounts including a suction cup. I was using a Ram roll bar mount combined with a GoPro tripod adaptor for the main camera, and a GoPro roll bar mount for the 2nd camera.

It's only happy laps, I wouldn't be worried about that. Come to a sprint day or something then go flat through the kink ;)

+11ty. Happy laps is not the time to be finding the braking points, or taking the kink flat...

Dont tempt me. I can see why they put on Happy Laps. It is to tempt people to go to the next level... I SO want to do that.

But i think i will have to wait until my car isnt my daily.

So hurry up and get it all Kleeman'd up already :P I'll have a new Turbroz fitted once I land a new job and even my fat ass will be faster than you.

Lol.

I'm probably not going to.

I'll likely do this:

This:

And call it a day.

That will get it up just over 400. I've heard too many horror stories involving SC 55 engines.

Next car I buy I'll just make sure doesn't NEED any go-fast bits!

I do sprints in my daily ;)

Yea but your daily rocks and is setup for some track work. Mine is good for straight line stuff but when a corner comes up it is all on for young and old.

I will get there tho.

      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...

      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.
