Awesome... Just getting over the jet lag, have a look at the pics on facebook...

It was one of the best holidays Ive ever had...

I havent been on face book in so long. I should log on, then look at your photos.

Did you eat anything weird

I eat everything I could get my hands on... The experience was awesome...

I was worried about food poisoning but never had a problem...

I could not get over the fact I could have a huge lunch and a few beers and it still only cost $6-7...

Oh you ate everything huh hahah. Giggles.

Yeh teh cheap beers and food are pretty much FTW

I loved there was no liquor laws...

70cent ice cold cans of beer everywhere...

locals would come running up to me with a coldie and say "You Buy" and id say to Renee "I cant knock them back cause thats just rude"...

so yeah it was farkin hot with really high humidity, I lost 2 kgs and I ate like a horse and drank like I always do and still lost weight...

it was all the walking, we averaged about 14-18km per day just round markets and shops etc...

I would go again, was a very impressive country... I got to shoot an AK47 too, check my youtube link on facebook... :ninja:

well a 30km cab ride from the airport was $17AUD and that was including a dodgey meter, dodgey cabbie and a $2 tip...

so walking is completelly optional, we caught a cab into town from our hotel in Hanoi (about 5km) the first day and it cost $3... :ninja:

You can hire a 110cc automatic scooter for about $5 per day also if you wanted but parking costs would make it a stupid idea if you wanta stop all the time...

They take advantage of westerners at the drop of a hat, you need to be carefull and always barter even with the cabbies...

However push too hard and you could end up in trouble, I got punched in the markets in Saigon for insulting a store owner but saying "thats a knock off, thats not real"

As he wanted $300 for a fake rolex, after he punched me we came to a $20 agreement and we were mates again... :)

Anyway bed time for me, im stuffed...

slightly random, but when i turn my computer speakers right down (not off, but down to zero), for some reason i can hear an am radio station coming through them....

if i turn them up a little, the station disappears.....

if i turn them off, no sound.

right now i am listening to the news through them, talking about some ban that is coming into force on friday... and then bush going on about the global economy..

any theories for me?

my advice is to make a foil hat

there looking for you mate

Was it the only time you got punched? Seems odd it was only once...

I did get my fingers bent backwards by a hot little 20 year old girl at a t-shirt shop... Long story...

But the short version is they try to get you into their shops as when you standing in front of the shop another shop keeper can come and get you and pull you into their shop. Once your in a shop the other shop keepers leave you alone. So here I was standing out the front of a T-Shirt shop and the shop keepers daughter was sent out to pull me in and cause I refused to come into the store she bend my fingers back while laughing and saying "come in". I snached my hand back and moved on quickly, but yeah she was hot she was the bait to get western men into he shop... :cool:

where did Colin go?

Vietnam and Thailand

Nah he went to Vietnam.

Yeah Vietnam for 2 weeks (The whole country top to bottom) and Bangkok in Thailand for a couple of days...

Oh and I took my camera everywhere, and never spotted one skyline at all...

Didnt even see a Nissan, 95% of cars are Toyotas in Vietnam...

    • 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.
