Hi MrVspec, if you don't auto clave the parts, am I correct in assuming that you don't do stressed stuff such as prop shafts?

Cheers

PS your parts look very well made... you NEED to get your website up again! :rofl:

PPS can you do an R32gtr with Z-tune style louvres down the middle?

no we dont do prop shafts, only do stuff that can be tested in house before the product is marketed.

yeah the website is taking a long time hey, been onto the boss about it. He tells me it'll be up soon, but yeah who knows maybe a month or two??

the 32gtr with z tune louvres is possible, but you have to make a plug, then the mould then the product this all costs money, and with carbon being hard to get at the moment parts are very very expensive... i am doing my bonnet at the moment for my GTR all custom with vents and stuff when i'm finished i'll post up some pics.....

Hi Noy, from what i remember you guys do vac bag ur lay-ups?? If this is the case, dunno if u do know or not but there is a new pre preg out that is resin impregnated from one side and dry on the other, Good to use if u do not have an autoclave. Just vac bag and chuck into an oven.. Resin system is a VTM type so cure temps can be anything from 60-110 degree C.

I saw a sample part made from it today and the finish was really good (mold did not have a gel coat). If u do not know about it then get onto the usual suspects...(Lavender/advanced comp). Could be usefull for the stuff that you guys make n would be shit loads easier to lay up as comapred to a wet lay up. cheers.

I'm putting custom vents in the CF bonnet that duct straight to an enclosed airbox. no more hotair for me

Just a quick one on this:how are you getting around avoiding water ingestion(IE: what happens when it rains...)? If it's something you'd rather keep quiet design wise,then OK;maybe PM me for a 'general' idea?

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. 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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
