bonnets 100% carbon fibre (no fibreglass underlay like JAP versions), its only 6mm thick an weighs around 6-7kg. I got it from customcarbon.com.au, great bunch of guys an awsome quality work!! highly recomend them!!

Are you sure about this? Coz a 100% dry carbon bonnet costs around $5000 and you can pick it up with 1 hand and walk around with it.

i believe its carbon top layer, carbon bottom, with thin foam between? not sure on their particular carbon making process? You can pick it up an walk around with it in one hand....I did, before putting it on, as I (an the guys that made it) said, it only weighs 6-7kg. Never said it was "dry" carbon though becuase it's not.

but yeah.....its light, its CARBON FIBRE....best stuff known to man:D, its different, and I love it.

any further questions about the bonnet, ask the guys at customcarbon, they'll know a great deal more about it than me :D

:)

any suggestions on my wing delema?

to avoid further confusion about the bonnet i changed the '100%' to 'Genuine' in the post, guess thats more "technically" correct. Sorry guys, My bad.

Abcent.

If you are going to pull it off, I'd love to borrow it.

I would need to know the measurement between the holes that go though the boot though.

If they matched up with mine, cool.

I think I may be able to just remove my wing and check it out from that though.

hehehe.....hey lucas. maybe I should make it into a rear seat like on the old T-Buckets....scweeet :bananaman

reckon I'm just goin to get another bootlid and drift/stealth spoiler first....fit it up.....then decide which one to sell? the GT or the drift?

BUT..... all of this wont be happening for a while, gotta get my bigger squirters in Jan, which kinda wounds the wallet for a little while :D

there really is nothing "different" that looks any good out there unfortunatly.

Very nice indeed, car looks similar style to mine...looks great, skirts suit your rear bar much better than my veilside one, the veilside rear was just a bit too round for em i think.

pic of my ride are in my gallery if you havent already checked.

white, dark wheels, gt wing...(universal description of our cars:D)

;), ive tried to update my pic, but it wont let me.

:thumbsup:

      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.
