Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

Hey Drumstick

Couldn't reccomend them more. I bought a black 33 last month that was pretty well stock. Took it down there and had a talk to maurice and sorted out some new parts to upgrade from stock. I got fmic, new bov, pod, kkr turbo, 3" exhaust plus some other bits and pieces. I got it back Saturday and they have done a top job i couldn't be happier. No problems so far but i'm trying to get some km's into my turbo before we wind some boost into it so the proof will be in the pudding. I'll definitely be going back when i'm ready to upgrade more parts, they are very friendly and easy to deal with, and there prices are very competitive.

If u see me round say hi and we'll have a chat i'm driving a black r33 with white rims and no rear wing. Its my first post here so im hoping to meet some people round the Launceston area who also drive skylines :down:

Cheers

25 neo head?

i forgot all about the cam covers. they are Neo covers, but they have been put in to trick people.

i call shotgun for that engine in my car :-P

ill put some details up when the engine is finaly back and running.

but for now its a Rb25de head off out of a late model r32 (so non VVT) that ive made an adapter plate up to make the entire GTR intake side fit up to.

this head is very similar to an rb20 head and i will be starting on another adapter plate for Sav man soon to fit a rb20det

Did a clutch at Symmons on Sunday.

Apparently you shouldn't be able to have it in gear, with the handbrake on and your foot off the clutch... :s

Pulling the box out this week to see what was in it, how much damage has been done and what I need to buy to get it mobile again.

Unfortunately this also means spending money I dont have so it will no doubt be off the road for a bit now cause I am not gonna just buy a cheap clutch and throw in to get it going, do it once, do it right. :banana:

What clutch did you go with??

I just fitted an Xtreme Motorsports DSBMS Clutch Kit

Had big shudder issues when first fitted but appear to have eased a bit. Reverse is a killer still though.

Not sure but I think the fact its AWD doesn't help much, if you dump the clutch a bit harder it feels like the front diff is trying to climb out from under the car now.

I have spoken with Xtreme about this and we are working on a solution.

Be good to see how it copes come the Highclere Hillclimb next weekend. :bunny:

      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.
