Yeah Rob might give you a ring this arvo if i get a chance

I remember someone loosing a plugger last Easter, haha. ;)

It wasn't an organized cruise. I was out with Fritz and the biker boys. The harbour just started to get packed all of a sudden... Not as big as it used to be but there was still 40 odd cars there.

I've just realised there is the Touch up Guys right near my house... might go over and have a chat. Original owner of my V looked as though he attacked the rear Nissan badge with a screwdriver to get it off and left a very deep and large scratch on the back and i want it gone.

yeah man, you have to be very cautious where you take your car here. I've been burnt by 90% of the places I have taken my car to - Tuning shops, paint and panel, and engine builders.

There really isn't any better piece of mind than doing it yourself to be honest.

This is the main reason that I started tuning my car myself - because no one I asked or took it to had a clue. This was nearly 10 years ago.

Now I get called very often for tunes lol.

have you talked to Nur33 about his 350z turbo kit yet? lol

Good to know man, only problem with that is i've only just got into the mechanical side of cars so it's a massive learning curve. I've called 4 different places now just to get a bolt replaced in my front rear castor bar and aparently no one can do it. Such a joke.

Nah what happened to it?

Chris Pace in Furdsen Street Glenella does great work with panel and paint work. Got some work done on the 34 in there a while ago couldn't be happier.

+1

he did my old car and did a great job of it

Cheers, will take it in to him some time this week

    • 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.
