Hello everyone.

Today was a sad day for me. I found out I'm in need of some new wheel bearings (specifically the rear right ones) and a steering rack end.

the parts are priced reasonably, but im wondering if anyone has any suggestions for cheap labor thats actually good. I talked to trojan today and their labor costs are causing the repair costs to easily hit $1000 which im not exactly happy with spending at the moment.

that would help heaps if someone could. So far Kasko is looking in to it. Basically 1 grand at the moment for my car just isn't worth it, which is pretty sad to say. The wheel alignments and stuff the car will need after can be done cheap, so thats not a problem

actually the labor worked out to be more than parts. I think I'll order the parts first, then consider doing it myself/getting help.

but can someone explain the whole bearing situation; when someone says the bearings need to be pressed in, is that the bearings or the assembly? cause I read a thing on here before and im pretty sure the guy just jammed that stuff on

    • 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...
