good day out with you skyline dudes, must do it again, really sorry about the flat tyre, and holding up the cruize for half an hour, PHAT32 thanx for being my taxi, and to everyone else i held back thanx heaps for your help and patiance.

PHAT32 whats was the name of that place who tuned your SAFC, and where were they again??

it was a great cruise ill definatelyy have to come on one again one day

i had to leave early from apollo bay(to try and get my g/f back to go to work) and i came back through the otways but unfortunately i got done speeding on one of the straight bits after the mountains and the prick in a blue toyota camry got me doing 119 in a 100 zone and driving whilst suspended

ill hae a summons coming in the mail , it looks like im never gonna get my licence back!

but shit happens , the cruise was excellent and i amazed myself that i coulld keep up with some of you guys

i took pics on a mates digi cam and ill post them up in a couple of days when he has sent them to me

bassyk: that was rough. Don't think we saw any on the way back. Not sure what a cop would have done with that many skylines weaving in and out like we were. Was all good fun though!

jamezilla: how was the run back along the GOR ?

black13: did you manage to get your tyre fixed ?? was a bad time to get a flat.

Predator: The run home was fun :D

Ula32 and I gave the cars a good squirt - one of those 'glad I bought a GTR' kind of days. There was some traffic - including a truck carrying full Port-A-Loos (smelly) but we were able to get a couple of nice 'legal' runs - wasn't too often you could get above 100kmh. So sat on 80-90 around the corners most of the way. Lots and lots of fun.

We caught up with everyone in Geelong too :D

Awesome day people.

The photo's in the harbour were simply perfect.

I don't think there could be a better spot... we just need MORE CARS!

so i might organise another for a months time ?!?!?!?!?!?

That way i can drive my own car when i get it back

and then those that missed can come aswell...

and we'll go home the same route.

Those otways rule... pity about a bit of traffic though.

Sorry about the low res - it's the Photoshop auto-gallery thingo:

Gallery

I have all the driving photos at 1024x768 - and the ones in Apollo Bay at 2048 x 1536 @ 300dpi if anyone wants some silly-res images :D

My email address is on the gallery pages.

I have to say sorry for ditching you guys. Fatz wanted to do the whole road in one day so we had to be on the move. It was great to meet some of you guys and if ever any of you are in Sydney, please don't hestiate to let us know.

Fatz and I went totally ballistic, and he's a real nut case! Some pretty wild overtakings by Fatz and it's only a Mirage!

Thanks once again! :)

    • 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.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
