power cruise in September sounds good.. Hopefully my car won't be too far off maybe take it down to Bris in May for a tune, see how we go.. Need to pay the mechanic a few more beers haha.. ;)

Millions of dollars is more preferable :woot:

I'm sure most of you have driven paradise st of late.... Wht a joke the upgraded road there is already started to fall apart ...... All the wet couldn't be doing it good but surely it has to have something to do with the quality of work carried out as well ?? Then what would I know I'm a boilermaker by trade lol

Mackay Regional Council have a tendency to do roadwork's in the wet season... dumb f**ks instead on hooking in on the winter months and getting it done properly. They need to asphalt everything once instead on shitty bitumen repairs 10 times over.

yeah they love doing half-arsed roadworks then scratch their head when the wet season comes wondering why the road doesn't hold together for longer than a week without giant crater-like potholes appearing.. always happened in Mackay lol. Amazing how different the roads are in Townsville compared to here..

Yeah cheers mate ..... Went and got a wheel balance done haha what a drama that turned out to be as it had a lock nut on each rim which I couldn't find the key nut for so me assuming that any wheel and tyre joint would have a grip socket to remove them went down to only find out they didn't and were not willing to remove them with a ordinary socket which I have done tons of time .... So back home I go and 10 minutes later the lock nuts are off haha should have done it myself first time around ! Anyways turns out each wheel was out between 10 - 30 grams lol feels heaps better now !

kool kool. well ill send ya a msg when im heading home and ill chuck em in the back of the ute and head round. ill bring rotors and rear calipers if you want. front sitting on there so they dont leak out.

    • 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.
