hey just went skydiving this morning and damn its a must do for everyone even if you got fear of hieghts.

did it with skydive express out in York cost $350 got a 10% group diso**** cause there were 6 of us.

highly recommend it to all.

side note:

got pulled over on the polly farmer freeway on the way back, i was over taking some guy who slowed down and then switched lanes abruntly. Police car in front saw me in the rear view as i was passing so got pulled over.

didn't get a ticket, he checked out under the bonnet but i had permits so he had a quick look.

Permits made a big difference, no 5th degree stuff, just sat back in the seat and let him have a look. he didn't make any mention of the exhaust which i don't have a permit for but its not that loud.

Way to mis-spell discount jxl, was wondering wtf was happening for a minute. My mum went skydiving about a month ago, she still gets a buzz of it. She got a dvd of it (paid like over $300 to get it, because the person had to jump too), and watches it at least once every couple of days. Absolutely loved it.

re your side note, were you speeding when you passed?? As in technically speeding, 85 in a 80 zone, or were you being a naughty boy doing about 100kph??

Would have sucked seeing the cop going slower & slower as you come up to him, knowing he was going to pull you over.

At least you had permits though. I am importing a car with some mods, so I will get incredible shit if I don't get them, even if they aren't major mods.

oh crap hahah didn't realise the typo well now you know what happens when you mix just 2 letters.

yeah couldn't afford the DVD its $100 extra cause someone else jumps with you.

yeah prolly about 85 in a 80 zone i'd admit that but heck knows what the guy in front was doing and i ain't taking a rear ender that i'll be up shit creek with.

Did you do a tandom jump? static line jump? or accelerated freefall?

the later is most expensive but the best - no big fat guy strapped to the back of you as there is with tandom, and static line theres no freefall - boring :cheers:

Soo much to take in when you do it tho, you just get so overwellmed..

I went skydiving a couple of years ago and reccommend to any1. I must admit i was/am a bit scared of heights, but when your up there it doesnt seem real so i found it real easy to jump. Best rush, i did tandem in pinjarra but want to do a jump by myself next time for sure

      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?

      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...
