Haha i will ask him on Monday..

Yeah i texted Leon he said he's got nothing laying around, my mate couldn't organise a trailer anyway so he didn't end up coming.

Anyone else head out to TnT last night? Really good turn out of spectators and a good number of cars, was a good night

That would be super. Is it not roadworthy or was there another reason for it being trailered? Just need it to be able to drive around the block to test. Hopefully it plays up to so I can get a replacement and it will be problem solved :)

I need someone who is willing to drive about 1km down the road in an R33 gtst :) lol

Got my oil cooler sandwich plate on today, finally got that and the cooler the other day. Had been sitting at the post office since the 21st of November but the useless delivery drivers either didnt leave a note or put it somewhere stupid and it blew away

Also still looking for someone with an R33 GTST I can plug this power FC into and see if its the unit or my car with the problem

If anyone knows someone whos willing to help out it would be good. No hard running, the problem is at lower RPM on and off throttle so wont need to thrash the car or anything

Let me know :)

There just the JJR ones, but I think they are East Bear rip offs.

Either way they look good (better in real life then the photos) and didn't cost much at all :) My old OEM ones were leaking and I was going to re-seal them but I just thought I'd buy new ones instead

The Qest ones look better being All LED's everywhere. Mine just have LED globes that I got for the reverse and the indicator lights.

Shrek, one piece RB26 crankshaft keyway, worth getting one made? It seems Will has accidently left mine out when he sent back to me..... Pretty sure it wouldnt be hard to get one done around here if it's a worthy option.

Engine is at a standstill till the Crank gets balanced, Apparently everyone wants theirs done before christmas so might not see it till the new year. Other then that it's pretty much ready to bolt together I think.

Mine's still on the road with my original engine in it, learnt my lesson from Other people on here :P

And I'm still looking for another 33 to test the Power FC out in. Hopefully if its dodgy in that to Apexi will be good with their warranty.

If you buy the timing gear + Backing plates they come with the keyways. So if its something you havent got yet it might be worth talking to Kudos or whoever about it. I got mine from Kudos with both keyways so was pretty happy

I just ordered new tensioner kit from KMS and Will has my keyway which he's sending up, I asked him about a one piece keyway... mentioned it would be stronger, unneeded and require crank out really.

NO THANKS CAPTAIN. ILL MAKE DO

Apparently I was wrong,Crank is ready to be picked up :)

some progress pics from today, did some mucking around working out where to run some lines, and also put the cams in. Sump is clean now as is the pickup, amazing what a few weeks in a dip tank will do:

Dunno doubt it tho we are always a fair bit behind the rest of the country. We still don't have 100 octane here yet lol.

Anyone know what the story is with the silver 180 plates 18ZRO? Been parked on the side of the road for a few weeks at the roundabout that heads out to blacks beach?

      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

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.
