The RTA have kindly given me a 2 month holiday.......

My car is sitting out the front now..... taught the gf to take it for a drive today..... scary experience..... anyways while im unable to drive it im going to mod/fix it up......

Firstly its going to cop an awesome detailing job, polish, wax and interior.....

Looking at making an amp rack for the boot (pain in the ass for a 32) and doing some red vynal work for the door trims, painting brake calipers and trying to protect the rear guards from rusting out more (dont know how?!)

Apart from that ill need my boost fixes from my gf and mates and ill def be taking it to the track.... also whatever dosent go into petrol (which is alot) will be going into beer :rofl::D:D:D:D:D

can anyone think of anything else i can do or give me some pointers in doing the suggested above...

thanks guys.... 59 more days to go!!!

that sig. vid is awesome hahaha.

if you've got the time, fix the rust properly first....no good making it look all schweet if you've gut rusted out guards. do this first. sand it back, if its not to bad, put some rust converter on it, prime it and respray it.

its the insides that are rusting mainly.... its not visible from the paint side of the guard.... im not really that fussed about it atm i just wanted to put some rust protector on it to slow it down.... then wait till i have enough money for a respray and get it done then... might throw some GTR guards on there while im at it :D:D:D

    • 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.
