^ HD pics of crash, sad days, haha...

I see a camera... did footage survive? Still sucks though, man.

Fair enough. Still got some boyracer funtimes for me left heheh. SC V8 though will be naice. Have you actually been in Leigh's yet? Was that the turning point ahahah

Nah, not as yet, but always wanted a massive power blown V8 and with the second kid on the way, stepping up to a 5 star ANCAP falcon is always going to the a good idea.

To be honest i'd prefer to strapa PD blower to a VE SVZ and style it myself, but it will probably be the same or cheaper to go the legal GS route

back from gold coast after an epic weekend, all is good apart from when I smashed my head on the bottom of the pool diving in drunk, some hair fell out and sore / scabby now :(

do you have any idea how lucky you are? :0

2nd kid on the way aye! congrats! Yep 5star ANCAP ftw and always gonna be the cheaper option for a new car with PD V8 I do miss the turbo 'rush' feeling but PD V8 as a daily is awesome, cruise below <2k RPM and still miles ahead of people taking off at the lights lol

Yeah I kinda didn't think about it until I got home, could have been pretty screwed up if I had to go to hospital / knocked myself out or something - after it happened surprisingly didn't bleed that much which was good.

not pregnant yet... just know we will be doing it again in a couple of years :)

and i meant you could have been a wheelchair spaz, not just a bump on the head! be careful dude :)

None of that looks appetizing

then you gotta wait till east side steak night.

@ nick, steak night brah, and yes i gotta come view yo pussies. but i'll be working, so its bloody gay, unless you're avail on sat.

and speaking of steak, there's a cape grim porterhouse i've been dying to try. price though is comparable to rump cap. not sure if i should.

    • 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.
    • 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...
