Great insights in all three areas of alignment, shock valving and corner weights; highlight for me was learning about the shock pistons, the effect of temperatures on shock resistance and the progressive dampers that offer resistance that 'fades out'. Excellent cars on display and also excellent food - steak and prawns! :)

Thanks Ricky for organising and thanks to the Heasmans team including Alan and Brad for putting on the night.

That'll soon be 3 Terry :P

Was a really good night, learnt quite a few things and that Heasman's do more than "just suspension" work.

Big kudos to Ricky for organising it to the guys at Heasman's for making it happen :)

Thanks Nick for making this thread! Got home last night, slept, woke up then work. I'll post some of my photos when I can!

Dude, thank YOU for setting it up!

I've been to a tech night at Heasman's before a long, long time ago, and I learnt just as much on Friday as I did the first time. :D

Was a great night guys. Good to meet a few of you (wish I could have met all of you!) and damn I learned a lot!

I've got photos and a whole feature up on Zen Garage: http://zengarage.com.au/2013/09/sau-suspension-tech-night-at-heasmans/

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong in any of it!

Great write up Justin and awesome pics

It was nice to meet you and that weapon of a car

Your commentary and pictures Justin are like the cherry on the cake!

Many thanks on behalf of the Execs as we can't fully express our thanks to the Heasman Group except through here!

And your excerpt captures this so well :)

thanks for coming guys, im glad to hear you all had a good night!

Was nice chatting to you guys, and im sure ill see most of you again in the future.

    • 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...
