was asked this by a pretty girl the other night "you can almost have any car you want, you've driven cars that cost a house but yet you chose a GTR? i mean wtf" i left it at that and walked off, well the main thing is everyone is different and prefer different things. what did it for me was the first time i drove one, a R32 GTR the handling of the car is like it's on rails in a straight line from a launch or around corners turning in late to the apex and planting it. when you accelerate you can instantly feel that the RB is designed to be reved and loves to accelerate everytime you drive it, it's feels like the car is edging you on "come on plant it" the engine doesn't sound right at lower rpms it's more happy and alive the faster it's going and higher rpms. it's not luxurious as a porche and isn't ment to be it's a pure grand tour racer. comfy but yet can haul ass when needed.

what does everyone else think about a GTR?

Lets get some priorities straight , a GTR is more important than family , i would trade the family in first, before i get rid of my GTR.....NOT JOKING EITHER

family? That's when you get a stagea to sit alongside the skyline...

well the GTR is family, the more you take care of it (wash, service) the more fun, reliable and friendly it is towards you (doesn't break down - less over all problems), like a gorgeous wife your bound to get attention (popo or what not) and she's bloody high maintenance that's for sure always wants a medical (dyno tune, service) the more i touch it and use it, it wants new shoes and not just any shoes has to be a brand name aswell and 4 of them to boot (UHP tyres) it drinks heaps and demands nothing but the best you can get (bp ultimate 98). but we all knew this was gonna happen, as human beings we get attached to things either humans or materialistic.

and yes i've been on a race track.

      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.
