Mines a bit of a mixed bag.

Car :183,000

Gearbox: 183,000 (New gearbox will have about 110,000)

Motor: 49,000 (First motor did 144,000 then had an oop's)

Diff's: Front 45,000, Rear 22,000

Suspension: 80,000

Still no win with the seat frame Jules?

84 000km on the clock, 40 000km in my care; P/Side Rocker Cover Gasket, New Cabin Filter and a Parker Globe.

Other than that; A couple of random SRS resets, and routine maintenance, and selective upgrading, that's it.

Just clicked over 80,000.

Had the castor bushes replaced as one of the boots was broken (RWC when it was complianced with 71K on the clock)

I changed the cabin filter, it was changed at 45K in Japan.

Changed spark plugs

Numerous oil changes and filter changes including gearbox/diffs

Cleaned out all the accumulated leaves where the battery sits (luckily no rust!)

Had the Tanabe shocks fitted (seem to be pretty good for cruising)

Rear glass hatch section not lifting (not 100% sure, but will get an auto elec to look at it when I can be bothered). main tailgate still lifts, so I'm ok.

Seems to be going well at the moment. Next service is at 85K where I'll get the family mechanic to look it over and see if I've missed anything, or fix anything that I don't have time for (read: allow me to spend my time on the 1600 instead)

Still has lots of squirt!

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • 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...
    • 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?
    • 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.
