do you know how to take the lense and crap off? im pretty sure its on the inside because i have tried to clean the outside but has not helped anything else

It wont actually come off... I think you would break it trying to do that. Tried of my old 33 to clean up the lights and it didnt come apart.... So hope that will save you some time...

Um btw... Magquires "PLASTIX" will clean up ur head lights (Correct me if i am wrong Mitch)....worked on my 34...

What you up to? if ur bored i'll come hang out with you....nothing to do atm :P

The clear casing on the 33 headlights do come off... its a huge hassle though, from memory you have to unscrew both and take them off the car completely, then use a heat gun (carefully!!) to soften the plastic between the black casing and the clear plastic so that you can seperate the two.. you have a chance of breaking or ruining them if they are not done properllllly. but if it is the moisture on the inside its probably worth it.

As Chris said above 'Meguiars Plastx' is awesome stuff, got my headlights clear as, and got that yellow tinge outta them. About $25ish but worth it for sure, may have to order it in like i did though.

welll that unipol stuff was only like $10 a tube at all abrasive's in kayleigh drive maroochydore. does just a good job but for less then half what u would probably pay for the meguir's stuff. anyway , i probably wouldnt separate the lenses off ya headlight's, risky job i reckon, considering u might stuff them completely. then u are up for a new set anyway. went to the drags tonight, any guess's what times i got outta my stock 33 with 3" turbo back exhuast, HD clutch, suspension & 7psi? i was surprised being my first time out and all.

The way you drive daz... an 18.5 @ 76mph with a 3.2 sec 60" :thumbsup:

close but no cigar lol

13.931 @ 100.02 MPH, 2.1 sec 60" so technically speaking i got a 13 sec car ha ha,

but for my first time out i was hell stoked with the times i got, i thought i did pretty well actually with an almost stock car. still running 7psi aswell.

Good time for the mods. 60ft is very good for a manual car as well. What suspension and tyres?

thanks chris. i have got bilstein suspension all round with (sydneykid set up) off this forum, and i was running federal 595 tyres 255 rear and 235 fronts, just what i normally run on the streets, no burnouts bcoz i needed my tyres for road use as the car is a daily.i got other rims im goin to fit up with some race rubber for later on when i go down next time i think. get some semi's or something like that.

thats an awsome time dazza to what you have or more to the point havent done to your car.

yeah well thats it aye, thats my plan i told ya i wanted to run the car in its stock form now see what i can get before i start with mods, now i got a good base time to go off. power isnt everything when it comes to racing, it all comes down to how u can get your car off the line for the first 60ft, then the rest will work it self out i think.

:( I was in Fridays car park last night and a fight broke out and people ended up on my bonnet and cracked my front bar :P:) :)

thats pretty shithouse man. but i would never park my car in the car park there at night drunken ppl + nice cars = trouble

park away and walk there if u have to much safer. just pick a spot u are happy with or just leave your car at home and bus it or cab it in. much better.

      By ToothDR32 · Posted

      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. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. 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.
