yeah have heard of this happening, what some people have done is put cut pipe in half and put a metal insert with 2 hoseclamps keeping it together

i have this

its about a 150mm long piece of 3inch exhaust pipe, then cut your stock intake pipe (i took out 2 of the ridges) and put it back together with some hose clamps

:cheers:well good news my end finally got my act together car is booked in for next week

to get the head regrinded and cleaned all new belts, pulls replaced and full

service stud kit and guaskets installed :pirate: . also getting the GT-RS turbo kit

install along with fuel system upgrades stoked should be a wepon lookn at

running around 15psi and 7 daily

lookn for a good place to buy engine dress up parts too as the gt kit come with braided line ext just want everything to match any help/ pics would be nice

cheers and :thanks:

I am, Ben wasn't; I don't think he's a big fan of the old Trust style joins on those GREX coolers. We replaced the oil line that had that extra joiner, too dogdey for me.

Also it was an SR20 oil filter that fits on there. Makes me a little sad that I have to poison my RB with a part from that terrible engine.

Those older style earls joins work fine theyre just not mil-spec.

Yeah the joined line wasnt done by me, was done when i sold it the first time and then they gave it back after cutting it up cos they couldnt make it fit. Dickheads.

ah well, we just binned it and got a brand new one.

Today was a very busy night!

R32 running again and back on the road. Turns out my coilpack loom had been tampered with but is now rewired! Then I had two fouled spark plugs. Slight adjustmentment to timing and I am now running with the Splitfires.

Also managed to get front wipers going at last!

Good to hear mate :D

What was the go with the loom? who'd tampered with it? previous owner or wildlife?

Appeared to be yet another previous owners dodgy work. Wasn't wired correctly(possibly only just twisted wire together) and I may have just pulled apart whatever was taped together. So had nothing going to front 3 coilpacks.

    • 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.
    • 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.
