Got my rear tyres fitted, 255, 40, 17. Must massage the guards out a little more, 10-15mm.

Got the box made last night, to cover my wiring mess. fits good, and i didnt snap it this time as ive made it stronger.

All the little hoses and bits connected up, now i have to make some bits to mount the oil and pwr steering coolers properly.

And then more stuff to make properly, no more bodgy brackets with rivets and stuff. Radiator top brackets are going to be tricky to make look good.

Gave my back a good twist this morning, so i was like an old man all day. Last nights chilli & pepperoni added to the effect. :blink:

But i did manage to get some stuff done, a bit of fabricating, new steering cooler, getting it together.

She must be happy, you can see her Aura. :D

Tomorrow I pull out the Intercooler and clean all the oils out.

  • Like 1

Cleaned out the back seats and floor mats and door cards with the shampoo vacuum.

This was the result.

Also pulled out my 02 sensor to have a look at at, Looks to be the original one =\. Hopefully my new one rocks up before I go back to work on Thursday.

If the weather is good tomorrow i'll knock up some brackets and fit my greddy oil cooler.

I keep thinking my car is all good then i see the front =\ Fingers crossed the panel shop calls me before friday so i can get it fixed.

Fitted the oil cooler. Lines took ages to run because we couldn't work out where they were meant to go then found a picture online.

Just need to get a smaller diameter oil filter because the z145a fouls on the sandwich plate.

Once i find a filter that fits I can start it up and check for leaks and relocate one of the horns and the air temp sensor.

why you no listen

Z442 which is slightly smaller in diameter and height (in comparison to the Z145a

Finished the engine bay finally. Took a lot longer than i thought it would.

Thats the problem with too many mods, you have to work it out yourself, how its all going together.

Pipe didnt fit, things have moved about 15mm, lucky i had some extra bits to make it work.

A transmission cooler off a ford at the wreckers, nice and solid, for a return line fuel cooler behind the diff. And $115 delivered, cheapest i could find, made in taiwan.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • 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.
