ill try and make it... if the car is back on the road by then, does anyone have a set of stock rims with rubber that i might be able to use for the cruise, i wont be a hoon and do burnout and stuff. just i gota buy new rims that are 1900 and dont have the money right now.

I can't be 100% but if my car is out of the shop and in a drivable condition (ie it could be out of rego and not yet engineered) I will be in.

Haven't had a chance to cruise with any SAUers yet :(

Just out of interest considering I don't live near Thornleigh will there be a sub-cruise coming from Sydney or Northern Beaches to the Thornleigh meeting spot I could tag along with?

give me a ride in the passenger seat pleeeaassseee - that way i can tag along with you from beaches > thornleigh - hehehe :)

wouldnt mind seeing how the ceffy goes either! oh, and i'll put in for fuel moneyyyyyy!

Ive never seen cops on that stretch before. Sometimes there is the Wisemans local cop cruising around the picninc area in his Land Cruiser but not on Old Northern. Not that i m saying we should be flooring it all the way there, just saying that people shouldn't worry about speed cameras, rbts and other random nuisances from the blues boys.

we're not staying on old northern... we'll be going through galston gorge to old northern... then jumping onto cattai ridge road... around past riverside oaks, then back onto old northern... just for more bends and a longer cruise... (i quite like cattai ridge rd! :) ).. so yeah.... i'll try and make a map to hand out to peeps so noone gets lost! :P

nope!!  its not a race...

Mona, everytime you drive, it's a race :)

Your car's accelerator pedal is a binary device. It's either "ON" or "FULLY SIK ON" :burnout:

Wow, a 3 hour cruise (one way)! I'd hope its a good drive at least D:

Re: the ferry, how many cars does it hold? It would suck to have to wait on the bank for the duration of one trip before ferry comes back for the rest of us D:

BTW, Ive never been there before so I have no clue what to expect :)

    • 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.
    • 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...
