You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

think of it like bedding in brakes... I did this for 30 mins straight away then binned the oil and used motul comp 75w150

Ok cool, thats easy then... will be going for this after I do the bedding in:

Yep, this part I've got down pat...

What I'm wondering about is how crucial is the low speeds and how many km before I switch out the oil for the first time. Considering I'm using a "used" crown wheel, is the low speed stuff mainly to protect that if it was brand new?

Or would higher speeds affect the new LSD Center as well...

Did your diff come with running in oil or are you to supply your own? If the latter, put an LS 75w90 in there and do the figure 8s for 30 minutes. It's easy and self explanatory...you will feel the diff loosen up as you do it.

Low speed driving is so the diff bearings don't get cooked. Avoid long drives and driving above 80km/h for the first 500km. Then swap out the oil after 1000km and put Penrite LS 85w140 in. This is the friendliest oil for a street driven 1.5 way; your car will shudder much less around low speed turns using this.

Note that the shuddering is the LSD doing it's job by locking the axles together and them breaking free of the clutches/discs.

Edit: or can use the oil Hamish recommended...the Penrite is only ~$40 for a 2.5 litre though

/bikelinesaustralia brahs, want to post up / pm me rough costs for picking up and starting down the road of motorbikes? E.g. rego, insurance, gear, maintenance? Getting keen again. Have researched a bit but always good to here more accounts & opinions.

Thinking of standard learner bikes like ninja 250, VTR250, or gs500f... not the fastest I think, but still cool and good resale?

I should probably save my money... But live it up while I'm young and get one anyway? XD

Miguelone and I rebuilt the lsd center of a 2nd hand diff from a Non-Vspec 33R with new Nismo clutches, so no, it didn't come with running in oil.

I'm running in the discs with Nulon Fully Synthetic LSD Oil 80W140

Diff bearings were in fine condition, so they've been kept. (does this mean I don't need to worry about keeping it under 80km/h at all?)

Bought das6 pro. Man this shit takes a lot longer than a rotary. At work I could have finished this car in 3 hours. <br /><br />Took 9 hours instead. But it was a single stage paint and layer was fairly thin. So I didnt want to take off too much paint. So no heavy cutter. Gave it a nice coat with 22ple as well. <br /><br />Whatd u do to the 300c? Like stage wise. Did it have a ceramic clear coat?<br />

where u work? those 22ple type products are hard to remove aren't they..i haven't tried them yet, have been meaning to, im still an old fashioned carnuba fan :D

I have a rotary as well, you're right its heaps quicker use it for big panels mainly..the little one is good to have for everything else though..seems like the das6 and 900 are the only small buff options we have in that price range...everything else is 400$+

300c was well scratched up...it had been through an auto brush wash most of its life...could well be ceramic it was tough paint...just a 2 stage buff on it.got 80-90% of imperfections out....still took 9 hours cause the size of the thing...lol

Youll be surprised... 22ple is like wiping off water. You just have to be really quick with it as it starts solidifying as soon as it touches the paint. So have to wipe it off after 5 mins. Stay one panel ahead. But its like wiping off water. Personally id still nuba it on top of 22ple. But 22ple is just so awesome you gotta have it. Basically having another clear coat thats really strong. And sheets real well. Expensive though...

Car wash place that takes care of alan mance holden/mitsubishi/suzuki dealer detailing. For used and prep new cars

I want the rupees big foot. Good buffer that one.

Are you using menzerna? Work uses 3M. I prefer menzerna a lot more

nah i meant removing it down the track when its hard..like in a few months....I will try it when i can...

yep still using menzerna, works well for 99% of jobs though need something a little tougher sometimes,,..used a big foot a few weeks back its a bit wild..lol...

was an old model and it wasnt variable speed though...does a good job but its a f**king jackhammer...my arms were going numb :laugh:

      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.
