There is a very good chance we can make it, my other hald and my little boy. My 260 might not look so good in the photos this cruise around, some nasty deep puddles took care of the lip on my front bar and some lady in the Woolies carpark has made a mess of my rear bar. On the plus side there is more air going through my intercooler now LOL

It was a good turn out...wish I brought my mate with me so he could take some photos whilst we were cruising.

I lost the group on the afternoon drive (after we stopped and two cars left)....but nevertheless it was a great drive

Hope to do it again soon

Yeah sorry to bail like that. I was loving the Spur but was getting low on fuel and it looked like Scotty was headed all the way to Marysville.

Laura had a ball on the spur and made a video of the back of Scotts wagon on her I phone. Was braking late to catch him on the corners but when he hit the straight and opened the throttle it was like he unleashed hell. The way that thing takes off is incredible. Now I have to get some power mods after seeing what can be achieved.

Scotty, I hope you had the Go Pro HD camera mounted on the dash. Post up some video if you did.

Pictures please people.

Nah mate, no gopro today. :P

We went to Marysville but it seemed a few cars dropped off, probably fuel related, although the ethanol car outlasted you all. haha.

After Marysville we headed down Reefton spur, hardly any traffic and had a blast getting chased by 2 M35's. Perfect day, thanks guys for turning up, it was a great turnout.

OK, so I got some pics before we started out. Nothing special, I'm used to being in a studio and it's a new camera so whatever.

Would have hot some drive shots too but not keen on $7K worth of camera gear being flung around the spur......

    • 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...
