Its ready to go. Heatgun also available.

Do you mind giving me a hand this weekend Mik?

I have never used one, normally I just smash at it with a hammer.

Plus the heatgun isn't needed lol, I already cracked the paint in the guards with said hammer :/

Let's just say I'm used to having a rat bag R33 haha and I man handled my nice 34 :(

>_< Oh i hate how that happens, being careful then... some sht goes wrong and theres a great big scratch.

Im so used to doing things the easy way too, its a totally different approach to do things with insurance.

The only insurances i use are chassis stands and have a fire extinguisher handy. :laugh:

Dunno how they compare, (the rb20 box and the 34 box), but i can outshift my box with the standard length shifter.

Basically you can shift faster than the synchros can handle and you get a little crunch.

If r 34 is the same then theres really no point getting a short shifter.

You can try it and see, also search the forums, thats how i found out about it.

Has anybody moved house recently? I'm not sure how the electricity works lol.... I left it on at my old place so the new people wouldn't be without electricity (it was left on for us in this place, so I figured I'd do the same), but it's now been a couple of weeks so I just did the online thing to get the final reading and close my account.

Do I just assume that the new people have had the smarts and opened an account by now?

Did you sell or are you renting?

If renting it out. Courtesy - Let them know what you did :thumbsup:

Unless you left instructions about Gas, Electricty, Phone)

If sold. Not an issue they should have advised the utilities peeps.

Be annoying if you came home to find no power.

It's rented out. Yeah I wondered if I should get my Property Manager to let them know. I just figured that it's been a couple of weeks so surely they would have sorted out their choice of energy provider by now.

Just wasn't sure how it all worked! The last time I rented, I think we rang up a few days beforehand so that it was connected by the time we moved in. If you didn't do that, tough shit!

Arhh okay, that makes sense. I was changing faster than the synchros from 4-5 and sometimes 3-4th as John explained to me yesterday. I original thought it was a clutch issue. So, I may avoid the short shifter. A friend of mind recommended it. Thanks Mik

The Property manager should be doing this stuff

Whatchu paying then for if they're not taken care of you :)

All good, I asked him and he said that yes, they've had it in their name since the beginning of the lease :)

      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.

      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.

      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.
