As the title says!!!

My firm:

INSERT PLUG HERE:

Pitcher Partners

Chartered Accountants (Yes I am an accountant)

www.pitcher.com.au

Have decided to send me to NY for 3 months for work. Nice!!!

So I will be leaving on the 28th of December and spending New Years in the Marriott hotel just off time square!!!

the rest of the time will be spent living in Greenwich Village and working in 3rd avenue just near Grand Central. I may even head down to Miami at the end of my trip but that is a WHOLE other story.

Anyway, the reason for this thread...other than to rub it in...is to get some info regarding things to buy car related and if anyone knows anywhere in NY or close by that I should visit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and if you want parts etc when I find them (I will set up an email before I go) I am sure we can work something out!!!!

Cheers

Neill

I would say if you want any american brand parts (Moroso, Peterson, MSD, etc....) then this is your chance :P

I was thinking of sticking to the big names that Rocket industries bring over. Mainly Auotmetre stuff, there is always a Honda Ricer happy to buy a monster tacho.

Prices i have found so far a slightly cheaper. Th ething about NY is that you DON't pay full price, always hagle and that is what I intend to do.

Cam, one day you can go buy another GTR, the fact is I may never be able to afford one, so consider yourself lucky in that regard. But you are out of luck with the car...its going to PMR and then to my olds, so my mum can drive it!!!

Jap parts seem to be just as expensive and some are cheaper direct from nengun. this is web only, so I guess actual experience is what i need!!!

And Strutto, yes I am a bastard!!!

EDIT: If anyone has a clue to get onto a US skyline forum so I can ask some questions please feel free to help me out!!!

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      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?

      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.
