as for pics, the closest thing right now is in the car chase thread. Looks rather similar to that, cept more concentrated on the LHF side, and more crumpled. Also managed to push the bonnet down a bit so it looks like that :)

withdrawals are shocking to cope with. Tried calling you to ask if you could come pick up the shit that was in my boot, but, it's in a holding yard already :(

You know the corner out the front of the pub next to sutho station on east parade? on the bus stop side of sutho station

Aw well, $2100 excess to pay, IF the claim gets accepted. Im spewin, $2100 better spent on a turbo kit, or pistons, or what ever

I can relate dude, I took out the front of my '97 ser II a month ago and the withdrawals are so f&*kin bad it's not funny anymore, I have to see it everyday and not being able to drive it. Look on the bright side and stop whinging like a girl....at least you were insured ! I was on the back of a 3 car pile-up and I wasnt insured (Im 31 and just cars tried to get $5700 out of me for it) so my R33 is going to be the last car repaired after the other two. I'm up for at least $20 big ones so yeah, stop crying like a f*&kin girl and accept the fact that there are people worse off than you out there ! The only light shining at the end of my tunnel is that I still have my boosted VL Calais to get to work in.

      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.

      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...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
