Oh yeh, ill read the original thred, ill just click the link you put up for me...oh no there isnt one...so in order to read your original thread, im to search the entire website just because you cant explain yourself? i dont think so.

If you want people to give you money to go somewhere with you, and they dont quite understand all the abreviations you have put in your post and telling me to read the other post, then atleast give me a link....And if you did reply to my question in the 1st post? i dont see it, and if its in ur other thread then why is it there when i asked the question here?

So! What is an LMVA? Is it a skidpan with cones that you put up to make your own track?

cus if it is, i think thats a pretty easy question to answer.

IS this your previous thread? if it is i read all 86 replys...no info on LMVA!@#

BUTTTTTTT!@#$% i dont want to get off on the wrong foot, i love what you guys are doing, and i think that maybe my typing shouldnt look so blunt and angery-ish... cus i dont mean it to be!...so for now ill keep my trap shut,....and just tell you when i have the money.

You can add me to the list slip! Paid in full this afternoon via external transfer. May take up to 48hr to be seen in your account though, same as last time. Have the transaction receipt if you want me to email it to you.

Edit: probably two working days.

R32 Drifter - no dramas, I am also blunt.

LVMA - picture a 150m x 150m flat bitumen area. There are little bubblers on the surface that release water to make things interesting. some bits are dry, some are wet....

We set up a slalom with a diamond at the end, so its like a slalom/motorkahna hybrid. You do laps up and down that.

The whole area is covered with cones that make out a track, the slalom is used as the start of it. That is the 2nd time trial on the lvma, after the slalom.

We used to do a braking section on the other side, 1 group would do this, while the other did the slalom, then swap, then all do the big track. I will be replacing the braking session with another motorkahna style time trial this time.

The good thing about it is, theres nothing to hit but cones, so you can push the limits, and it's seriously fun, especially as a passenger. You need to use finesse, and be smooth to be fast, but you can also just go nuts, look great, but thats usually slower.

    • 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...
    • 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.
