Hey guys :)

I have these stains on my seats that I can't get out on my R34. what do you guys use for cleaning on seats? 

And also, how can I get these scratches off the radio surround plastic panels? I looks kinda deep like it was scratched with a screw driver from previous owners.

Heat gun should work on the scratches. But may cause more damage if not done with care...

The seat needs a wet extraction vac, those carpet cleaners that you can hire from supermarkets work fine

Someone looks like they had a blast on that seat and couldn't hold on to anything so he scratched your panel and left a big happy ending stain. USE SCOTCH GAURD AND RUB IT OFF WITH A CLOTH, or any carpet cleaner from a AUTOSHOP !! The scratches looks bad :( just pull the panel out and like wrap it with carbon fibre or some sort

I had  the same problem with the seats on the 34 when I had stock seats. You do so much as rest a cold can of coke there for half a second and suddenly you have that ugly mark.

I was able to remove it with just your common autobarn-esque type of interior seat cleaner, it actually responded pretty well. As for the scratches I have similar problem and the surround and gearbox is like $80 but I am interested in the heat gun method too if it can be better explained.

One of those things that makes the car look awful during the day but looks fine at night :P

A commercial automotive trimmer or upholsterer will know what solutions to use because they have them.

For seats, I've just used Polyglaze Upholstery Cleaner or a brand of Carpet cleaning agent.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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.
