My newest battlescar on the ute haha

First scar was the rust and axe/tree limb damage (when we were fixing the clutch we through it would be fun to take an axe to it, it was indeed fun) then 2 mates of mine thought it would be even better to try body denting it, they used a tree branch 3m up to jump. That was funny to watch, not to experience.

Next was back before it had started raining and the paddocks were completly dry so sliding around would make massive clouds of dust that looked like crazy tornadoes, anyway i continued sliding after going a bit crazy and could not see more than 2m in front, unexpectedly I ran into a tree stump. Took out the front bar, light, bonnet latch and radiator but luckily we had an old fairlane lying around so was just a matter of swapping parts over :thumbsup:

And the newest one is the windscreen, the car wouldn't start a few days ago and was stuck in a ditch, so i was trying to dig it out in the rain, after a few minutes i cracked a shit and smashed the windscreen in with the shovel and here it is today:

Love this car, it just never dies.

Haha yea its very refreshing except when it rains and im blinded. Probably better cooling with the radiator aswell. Took the exhaust off aswell, hard to hear after a couple mins of driving it :)

Used to have a problem with the car over heating (was a hole in the radiator) so I took the thermostat or whatever it is called (spring thing that is between radiator hose and engine block) so once the car is going it can rev continuously hard pretty much until i run out of petrol.

Good fun, built a track aswell which is great when dry but in the wet you just understeer on most of the corners which is pretty scary considering the track is marked by solid gum trees.

So she got her little beast out on the track... i want photo's of the day also any times :) pm if you don't want them up here :rolleyes:

hahaa that looks like awesome fun :D

on a different note, me and Cassi went to wakefield on sunday... we decided we wanna hire the track and have our own track day :D so no one watches us lol

    • 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.
