Hi All,

Just wanted to write a quick thread to say goodbye to those I missed at the last meet. Over the last couple of years I have been lucky enough to get suitable work in my industry here in Melbourne, but as of next week I'm relocating with my family to Perth for around a year.

About 5 years ago I imported my skyline, and being extremely passionate about owning it as well as wanting to meet like minded people, I joined SAU. Since being a member when SAU Vic was properly setup over a year ago, I have met a great bunch of people who are not only passionate about their cars but reject the 'usual' sterotype that other clubs tend to attract. Knowing that this club is based on such a great group of people I'm sure the following year will see it grow even more and I look forward to seeing some new faces on the vic tracks in '07 ;)

I will try an hop on the forums as much as I can while away to catch up with everyone but without knowing how Perth will be setup, I’m not sure how often that will be. So until Natalie, Zack and myself see you again in '07 I'd like to thank you all for your friendships and I'll look forward to returning to the Vic tracks after gaining some experience in WA (all I'll be thinking in Perth "...gotta get back to the island.....gotta get back to the island..." :blink:

Take care,

-Ant

Thanks for all your wishs guys & gals.

Nark....Will def catch up when back in Melb but until then enjoy married/engaged life and look after Josie :mrt:

West...enjoy the tracks in '06 and hopefully I'll be a little faster when I come back as I'm looking at doing some track time in WA :huh:

Saff.....Looks like we might have a spare room in Perth depending on the exact acomm arrangements so let us know when you are thinking of heading over!

Dezz....hehehe that would be pretty cool and yes I might as well get the WA tag......never know in a few years I might have the whole set :(

Matt...thanks mate - keep tracking the R34 and look forward to seeing it in a year or so with even more mods!

Thanks mate. Looking to use up lots of frequent flyers next year so Perth is on the cards. Gold Coast in Feb and UK in May so most likely later in the year around Sept time I would have thought.

Thanks for the offer and all the best to all 3 of you B)

Greg...thanks mate and say goodbye to your old man for me.

Bec...Thanks heaps for making my dinner last night and I feel very special considering u missed drinks for me :huh: A big cheers to Al for organizing on very short notice - with those skills he should be the social coord for SAU!!

Leewah....Cheers mate. Actually I'm more concerned about Blaize moving back to Perth and leading me astray than the Sandgropers biting!!! Its all good and maybe we can start a WA team wang group while we are there. I'll be sure to post the pics of any damage we cause to Perth :(

Ant - Best of luck champ. Best wishes to Nat and Zack too.

Don't get settled over there, as I'm gonna need someone to run door handles with :)

Keep the car off the walls and the Family safe.

Cheers

Scott

      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...

      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?

      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.
