Typhoon...in Japan...when did that happen? :D:rofl:

Seriously...when I used to live down in the valley flooding was a regular occurrence, especially around September...a couple of times I recall having 30cm of water in the street outside my place, though fortunately my apartment and parking area were raised slightly above street level...

now I'm out of the valley, on the hillside over looking the city, and I don't have to worry about flooding. Though it does get mighty windy around here at times...

incidently...buyers of used cars from Japan should beware....I've seen a couple of cars for sale at what seemed like bargain prices, until I asked why and I got the reluctant reply they'd been in a flood.

ahh that would explain the grass and toadtstools growing under my seats :rofl:

arent typhoons and earthquakes commonplace in japan? you hear on the news at least a few times a year about earth tremors in japan. It must be something that you get used to.

A lot depends on where in Japan you're living. Usually a typhoon up near Tokyo/Yamanashi means little more than heavy rain and a bit of wind, but in southern parts, kyushu etc it's got to be more severe - read in this morning paper 16 people died as a result of Typhoon 21...

I spoke to a friend based in Nagoya this morning, he mentioned they have had bad weather there........he actually called it a Typhoon. His area was not hit to badly.........

Has anyone here been affected badly by this?

Hope all is well

If u type in Tropical Storm Risk at googles search, click on the second link. It tracks storms all over the world. Typhoon 23 has just spun up and is heading towards okinawa. Watch out. Cat 5 prediction.

First sign of a typhoon and my skyline gets wrapped up tight - car covers, ground sheets - all tied down, tucked nicely into the garage out of the rain :)

Well, this morning the rain has stopped and like a giant hairdryer, the wind is doing it's best to blow dry the landscape. On windy days like this, I'm glad I've got a full head of hair - a toupee in the weather is not recommended :D

      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...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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.

      Could it really happen......

      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.
