Nissan a r382 race car from the late 60s :)

Tough bit of kit: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_R382

they turbo'd them the next year for 900hp, but didn't race that one much due to the series folding.

Ants, the loaded accountant! Although, 1100 a week after tax isn't really a lot. :/

like I said before for over half my career I was on lots less than that and managed fine. It's also the right around the average wage. That said I don't spend a whole lot on booze or going out ect which can mount up real fast.

Wish I was loaded.......but I'm not. Before I had a mortgage and more importantly a family of my own I was like you Bunta and pretty much laughing all the way to the bank. And that was on almost half the income I am earning today. Now we are on a tighter budget but confortable but only just. Gone are the days were you could just live on one income stream when raising a young family.

Anyways enough of that. I left my wallet at Bunnings (again) and just managed to get it back! I can't be that intelligent to do this three times now!

Once Anna gets a job we will be laughing all the way to the bank. As of now is just comfortable. I am lucky in that at the end of the day I don't need to worry too much about the future so thats good.

Stop leaving your wallet ya silly bugger!

Back when i was a kid, my mum left her purse on the roof of the car on the way to a place on the other side of town. It managed to stay on the roof all the way through town (must have looked a sight!) only to fall off out the other side where the road got up to 100k's. luckily someone who lived there found it and gave it back (minus cash though... but to be fair kids could have found it and stripped it before they did). Certainly wouldn't get that in the city.

Good morning Luke.

$250 to save up for things? That's just if things were to remain the same...... you know thats not going to happen man. But trust me when i say this, when you have a family and own a GTR, EVERYTHING changes and is MUCH more expensive and $1150 will soon feel like $150!

So there you go........now when are we gonna see some baby Luke's :P

250 more then I have at the moment.

    • 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.
