Just to give everyone a bit of insight into the cruise and the cause...

The venue (which ended up being way to small), was the largest space the organiser could find that was a) Privately owned and b) willling to give access to hundreds of rev-heads.

The cruise, many years ago, used to converge on the lighthouse but outgrew the space - and the cops didnt help when they started closing off the parking lots every anzac day.

This year the police stopped the event from being held at the airport - or on any other public owned property - but conceded to it being held on private land - and its really only due to the charity that the police lay off (in general) on the people who cruised to Albion Park. Thats why there was defecting happening at the lighthouse but generally not on the route to Albion Park. I noticed the cop who was booking people parked on the nature strip - but i believe he was one of few police in Albion park who caused any issues.

The organisers sold 500 SuperCruise stickers (all that were printed), all the proceeds of which will be going to charity.

The cars filled the BP Servo, the backlot, the space around the truck repair and wash centre, and a newly constructed warehouse up the back. They calculated they could fit 500 cars and therefore printed 500 stickers.

Its estimated that over 2000 cars cruised into Wollongong - many going to the lighthouse area not knowing that the new location is Albion Park, and many being forced to park on the princes hwy.

Next year the event will probably be held in the same place, but more parking will be available in the field behind the new warehouse. There is also unconfirmed rumours that there will be some action in the form of dyno events and the like.

      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.

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

      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.
