i gotta get some castrol synthetic R 10w-60 and some plugs (possibly plaitnums or iridiums (NGK) for the 33, where's a cheap placew to get them ? i usually get the oil/filter etc from autobarn, oil is usually about $70 and the filter is $9-11, thats fine if there's nowhere else cheaper just thought i'd see if anyone knew somewhere cheaper or somewhere having a special atm, its kinda urgent, i wanna get this service over so i can start fanging the shit outta the car again :P can anyone say calder ?

i get ALL my stuff from supercheap...

filter: $4 (valvoline one is $8 but there's another brand that's got a black and white box and theirs is $4. its just an oil filter and it gets changed every 5000kms so who cares that its not a brand?)

oil: penrite 10w50 for $40

plugs: BCPR6ES NGK copper (don't waste your money on platinums!) $3 each

cheers,

Warren.

Ever heard the saying that a $2 part always caused the problem? :P

5000km is alot for a high strung engine, so you are better off spending the extra $5 for filters like ryco rather than have to spend $2000 on an engine rebuild after using cheap filters and oil

coppers produce a better spark than platinums etc dont they ? but how often do they require changing ? every 20 thou ?

i think ill grab the motul oil and a ryco filter (only $10 who cares dun wanna risk it with the other stuff coz i know these work) and ill go to supercheap and grab some coppers

    • 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.
