Recommended Posts

Liz, I'm going to grace your car with my presence (read: I'm scabbing a ride if I can't get mine)

For the benefit of those who haven't been on a previous SAU observation cruise, this is how it works....

The starting location will be PMd the week before the event. We're running the event under a CAMS permit so you need to have at least one SAU NSW Club Member in your car to be involved.

On the day, we have a quick briefing then we give you a set of instructions/clues on where you need to drive, along with questions about things you should see on the way.

Cars start about 2 minutes apart & the drive itself should take about 2 hours to complete.

If it all goes bad and you get lost, we give you a special envelope with instructions on how to find the finish.

Once you get to the end location we have a barbie, give you the answers to the questions and announce the winner.

Hope this helps?

Light bickering commences between navigator and driver (if one or the other is the other's significant other...)

If it all goes bad and you get lost...

Bickering turns to abusive yelling.

...we give you a special envelope with instructions on how to find the finish.

The rest of the journey is done in absolute silence.

Once you get to the end location we have a barbie, give you the answers to the questions (sexual bunnies), announce the winner and you kiss and make up after a few hours.

Hope this helps?

ammended

I forgot to add that Duncan's not allowed anywhere near this year's instructions so everyone will have a chance at making the finish :laugh:

LOL So thats who made last years one!! :) @ Duncan lol

Im in... Need to find a driver now...

do i get a penality departure time seeing as ive got vic as my navigator, he can read a map upside down and backwards and i can drive like no other, we shall blitz the field :rofl:

i should be in hopefully, sounds like a laugh

FINE!

Geez you're a funny bastard Wilch (and did you by chance have a spy cam in the Zed when Duncan and I made up the clues cos that script is sounding very familiar!)

Im interested in coming and would like to bring Baileyand Tam, but I need to have my boy home at about 2-3pm, gota love the arvo kip! So what time do we expect to finish?

    • 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.
