Yay.

What's up with the car?

welll fun fact....

It was on the dyno on Friday and was all going well... Started to hiccup a little bit on higher boooooost (E85).

So trying to nut out what is causing that and then back up onto the Dyno for the final run.

Is that the last outstanding item before you get it back?

Nice, hopefully they can get it all sorted soon.

I was secretly hoping to get my car back in a couple of months a beat you to it ;)

Joke of it is, if i didn't want to go to E85 i would have had it back about 3 months ago.

Motor rebuilt again, head work done, practically all of the wiring in the car is new, a heap of suspension bushes replaced, shocks serviced (ill be replacing them soon anyway) new alternator, radiator complete flush and clean x3, drive shafts serviced and bearings replaced where needed, new Gauges, new Oil cooler,

uhhh

all the shit for the Haltech and E85

That's just from the top of my head. Ultimate have basically looked for any little issue and have fixed it.

and then stemming from there work...

What needs doing:

Rear diff

New interwarmer (at some point)

Complete suspension overhaul (im leaning towards a full nismo setup e.g Links, sway bars, and shocks). If it isn't full nismo it will be nismo links and sway bars with MCA blues

What i want to do:

Fujitsubo TI exhaust with TI front pipes.

Quaife front diff

What i'm undecided on:

Gearbox rebuild or putting an OS gearset in it

So i'm actually getting closer to the car being finished.... But a few big $$ expenses to get there.

New GTR badges made for the front guards to replace the "GT" badges. :woot:

You're joking right? In case anyone mistakes it for a Lamborghini?

Besides the GT badges on the side are a generational thing like the distinctive rear lights. Why remove them?

I de badged the gt badges cause I don't like the look lol

These gtr badges are small. Basically the same size as the gt badges.

Realized they were small as I recognized the Razer mouse mat :)

I dunno about incorrect badges on cars....

Look forward to seeing how they look. You need to get this thing back and enjoy driving it again :)

    • 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.
