Morning everyone. I'm a cranky farker today (lack of sleep) and been thinking about this whole car situation......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Angry Ants. Lol! calling up the workshop today?

Oh my,

Those plates are magnificent,

Now i just need $3300 as they are available.

You can lay-buy plates with a $100 deposit. Might be advisable so that you don't have to worry about someone taking them.

Morning!

Car towed to the workshop this morning. Gearbox getting replaced. Hell yes, can't wait !!!

Smashed box? Which shop and what happened?

Tired and cranky. Had to wash a hire car at 2am because a truck hit a roo which splashed blood everywhere and the stupid dismembered thibg cracked the windscreen!

What's the insurance like with that?

#@RusH_ please make me one of these in metallic white :yes:

Looks like the Nissan font, which i have.

Metallic white i don't have, can do normal or reflective white.

Yer u may be getting pulled over for more than just defects lol.

Also while I have you here what's ur opinion on plastidip/spray vinyl?

If i hear you refer to it as a 'spray vinyl' again i may have to dismember you, wrap you in real vinyl and drop you in a lake...

Answer your question?

lol, Plasti dip and the likes are good for not much, for badges and other small things you can't really wrap.

It isn't really even comparable to a wrap as the finish is no where near that of a wrap and it's colour range is rubbish.

Add to that i've heard that over about a year or so it starts to destroy clear coat (apparently this has occured in the US in the hotter states) :blink:

What i've come to find is that those people who compare the price of a wrap to the price of a plasti dip are the ones who aren't willing to fork out for a quality wrap and may as well stick with the dipping.

Don't get me wrong, i'd probably use it for a few badges or the likes if i actually had any...but other than that, not intersted in the stuff. I think it's more of a phase type thing that will be something of a cheap option and may hang around in the background of the car modification scene.

1. Reflective white could be cool, any examples of this?

2. Ok plasti dip gives Steve man rags lol. But yer fair enough I imagined that would be close to what your opinion would be of it. I haven't seen it in person so I can't comment.

I'm drafting a bulldog of an email first, because if I call him right now I think I may say something I will regret.

I will call him when I calm dafaq DOWN!

Plus I'm currently doing an objection letter on behalf of a client so don't have much time.

Hey Antz,

Just read your build thread, I think you really need to consider going to a crank trigger set up too. Thats a lot of engine to entrust to potentially dodgy CAS signals! So maybe the delay is good, because it will give you a chance to sort it out before it all goes back together!

quickly give me the low down on this crank trigger setup mate - as I'm no expert.

Rather not say the shop security reasons pm me if you wanted to know.

As for what happened.. long story short... Reverse clutch packs gone due to driveway far to steep.... so now have to keep the car elsewhere which is a bit of a pain :(

    • 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.
    • 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.
