G'day all I would like to say thank you all for past 4 years.

Some you know me well and some you dont...(your loss) hehhe

anyway I have joined Korean Army and I will be away for next two years as Medic in South Korean Army.

It was hard choice to leave my family and friends, I've lived in Perth for last 13 years, I have been longer in Australia than South Korea.

I only have good no Great experience of Australian culture and people.

I am citizen of Republic of Korea and I believe its my duty to serve my own country and protect our people.

Its very tense in Korean penisula with north korean nuclear testing and break down of peace talk. However I beleive there will be peaceful solutoin to this... if not I guess I might have to actually use force, in my case fix people as medical officer.

As of next monday and next two years I will be working in Red Cross division of South Korean Army.

I will pop in say hello time to time :)

I wish you all for best of luck in your life.

especially I would like to thanks to Dan, Lizz and Boostzor and others sorry I forgot most of your name.

Thank you and good bye.

Cheers

Joey :P

I'll Be Back... :)

Even though I never got to meet you, best of luck with everything. It takes a lot of courage to take such a big step and the world would be a better place if there were more people as selfless and as caring as you in it. Good job mate you should be proud of yourself.

All the best,

Sasha

:(

Just keep your head down and only volunteer for stuff like getting drinks and reporting to headquarters and such and you will be fine. I hope Basic is not too rough though. Try to stay off gravel as we know you have trouble with your footing in that harsh environment :(

  • 5 months later...

G'day all , I am still alive and kicking :P I can not believe its been 6 months since Ive left the Perth.

I am in ROK as Medical officer, working in the army hospital Orthopedic surgery. I have seen alots of bronken legs and cruciate ligament damages.

I might be going to Lebanon as UNIFIL Medic (as part of united nation peace core), I do not know if I did right thing to volunteer for woking in the hot zone of Middle east. just wish me luck not to get shot in foreign country.

    • 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.
