Hunter Valley Lunch Run, 29/03 (at last a date!)


Recommended Posts

Hi all.

It was a damm good day.

Beautiful cars, Beautiful food and Beautiful people.

It was really good to see so many damm

fine examples of skylines.

The food at Amandas was to die for,

The view from Amandas was breath taking, the

view of Amanda could have been better,

she could've "" flashed for us""

My skyline is now owned by Moanie and Frank,

but saying that I also OWN theres.

But the best was the drive home

with franks, moanie and the xzotik1 owning that slow arse

ferrari.

Moanie and Frank: Thanks for the fun drive back

IT WAS REALLY GOOD.

Love cam..

i had fun on the trip up the old road, though i think the section between berowra and peats ridge could've been better - we went up pretty far!? it wasn't the "usual" old pac run i do...?!?!

anyways, as Cam mentioned, the drive back down the freeway was awesome - its a real pity we met up with the 550 Maranello at the end of the freeway!!!

dark, go back to page 8 and you will see a link to my gallery of the cruise, and im keen to see other photos too...

and the "flash" was gold :)

Hahahahaha....true true....but then i think tex just had a fascination with them....he kept getting carlo to follow me around...and then there were the sleazy attempts at picking me up.....

Hehehe... Maybe I did, maybe I didn't... :P

As for my pick-up attempt, well, your reaction said it all. :(

Good work Tosh, was a fun day, the food was great, the only thing lacking for me was that I didn't have a Skyline of my own to be thrashing. I must admit I felt very left out in that regard! If I wasn't so set on sinking a stack of money in to the Riv I'd have bought one about two weeks ago...

That said, the upside is that I got some pretty good video footage. I don't want to promise too much as far as that side of things goes, but I do intend to get at least a highlights clip together in the near future. When it's available I'll post the link on here for you all. Oh, and it will be for cable users or very patient dial-up users only. :)

What pick up attempts Tosh!!! :P That kid was such a cutie though :)

Cam...good to see you had fun! But seriously, i dunno how you could have possibly owned me!!! ;) That ferrari was so ready to give us a go....and then we had to go and run outta freeway :(

Hahaha...Tex you kill it!!! If it had been possible I would have fallen outta my seat from laughing so hard...and even then i was still giggling a good 10 mins after :)

Hehehe, good stuff. :) I thought for a moment I may have actually endangered you, due to the fact you suddenly weren't looking at the road anymore, but in the general direction of the floor of your car... :P Too bad I didn't get your reaction on video! :)

Tex

Great cruise, I enjoyed it. I've got some B&W footage from my mini camera - only a prototype setup at the moment but I'll dub some of it to audio and put it up when I get a chance.

Mona got quite a workout on the dirt section, don't have much of a tolerance for up and down do you? Shame :mad:

Incidentally Mona, my arse featured in the "other" film so don't worry about it.. these things happen :)

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
