Thanks Drew.

There are still about 8 spots available.

Stan - it will be 3 lap sprints so they might not like it. They would only be just getting warm and then have to come off.

Hi Adam

I am definatley in

Transferred funds tonight as per your PM

Look foward to a great day

Wakefield 1 min 12 12 untuned with slicks

anyone know where can get second hand semi's other than gordon leven tyres? have tried but none in 17's

Yeah good luck.. I've been trying Gordon Leven for aages.. Looking initially for 17", but then 16"... Some people must luck out with them, but by no means do they have consistent stock so I could never get some. I went out to see if there was any left over from the meet at Eastern Creek yesterday, but someone came through and bought up most of the usable ones on Saturday arvo :ninja:

Call this guy: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...576&hl=semi

I bought some 16" semi's off him yesterday. He might have what you're after. Nice guy too!

Gordon Leven - 02 4735 4500

Make sure to ask for their motorsport tyres people as they're a separate division to the regular tyre people by the sound of it

Try Garry's Motorsport tyres for 2nd hand stuff too. Im pretty sure I heard him say that he had some used 15" ones left over when I was at EC yesterday.

are the second hand semis you guys are getting any good? and are they actually cheap? A set of new 245/45/17 in dz02J or re55 shouldn't cost more than 1600, and they will last you 4-6 track days depending how nasty you are to them....

To save everyone sending PM's to ask about the tyres i have here are the details

Kumho V700 225/45/17 R-Spec semi slick.

Perfect for track days but dont have road legal tread depth left across the whole tyre.

PM me for a price for a set of 4 cheap :no:

Yeah the ones I got are fairly good. They've got about 6-7mm tread and are in OK condition.. I got them for $50 each (Kumho Ecsta V700 205/45/16).

They only start with 4.5mm tread depth from new, 3.5mm to the tread indicator.

I have ones in that size too half that price per tyre for SAU members

    • 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.
