This article was bought to my attention today & it seems its not only government agents that browse car forums.

http://www.theadvertiser.news.com.au/commo...255E910,00.html :tool:

Although, it doesn't normally happen on SAU (posting hooning pics, providing specific bragging details etc), it does happen on other popular public forums & even I’ve been guilty in the past for posting once in a brag section thread.

Hopefully, it won't have a huge repercussion for other car enthusiasts & web site based clubs :Paranoid:. It’s a pity coz, Adel recently had another large charity cruise, which was also organised to promote a non-hooning image to the public & better ties with the police (but that was wishful thinking).

While such illegal activites shouldn't happen in the first place, I hope I don’t need to remind you mature & responsible people of SAU it is somethin that we should keep in mind (more than before) before posting on any forums.

Please try keep the baggin of Commonwhores to a minimum, coz I already know how much affection we have towards them.

I watched this last night, I must say when the media needs a scapegoat, they dont have to look far with shit like that happening!

Bit like every organized car cruise (well the majority anyhow) there is always someone who does something.

I feel sorry for the commonwhore boys and girls, Im sure there are a few decent people, just morons doing shit like that, getting on the front page of the paper, is going to make it harder for EVERYONE not just falcadore drivers

I've heard that the open days are a little dangerous with everyone allowd on the track at once, and not the propper marshalling. I'm just realaying what someone relayed to me so who knows how accurate it is, damb chinese whispers

Not dangerous at all really, last time I was there it was a max of about either 5 or 8 cars for about 8 laps at a time, and they space you out. No overtaking on corners etc etc..

They are marshalled quite well, I think there where 3 or 4 lots around the track

Everyone is there to have a bit of fun, the quicker guys get past quite easily so its not like you get stuck behind someone to often. If you act like a tool, you will be black flagged

      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?

      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.
