I was pretty angry at the whole thing. See I don't care if Ford or Holden win, but when a championship has tied points in the last race of the season I'm sitting back for a great battle. Then bang, shunted out and I'm cheated of the battle. If only GTR's were still racing, there would be no shunt on lap 2, as they would be 400m ahead of the pack by then !!

Yeah V8Supercars is lame and for Bogans. Bring back the GTR's and the Euro Touring cars. That provided for some very interesting racing. Its a pity that the rules were changed so that no one could see how much proper racing cars destroyed family sedans.

LOL.. Who said that :P

doesnt the GTR still hold the fastest bathurst race time

Indeed, for year 1991. Time was 6hrs 19mins and 14.8seconds.

Hardcore V8 fans and the media will repeatedly say that this time was achieved without the intervention of Safety Cars, so this figure is unlikely to be broken in the future.

Well, TECHNICALLY, they arent the same class of cars... So the GTR would still hold an overall record, which happens to be in a class that is no longer in Australia. So it obviously cant be broken.

No dude. Thats the end of racing when they allow a FWD platform with no V8 in it to be run as a RWD race car. Then we get the NASCAR crap, where if one car wins more than 1 race in a row its because they are cheating. I mean, all the nascar actual cars that are in the showrooms are now FWD base. Its wrong, and I dont like it.

Turn your sarcasm detector on lol

But yeah, the GTR's record will never be beaten because, as Paul said, the track has changed. It'll always retain the record for the old track configuration, simply because there's no way for anyone else to compete for it now. The fact that there were no safety cars (I'll take your word for it Karen :) ) would certainly have an impact too, but regardless it all academic.

I do miss the days of different types of cars, the "supercars" are sooo damn boring. It used to be good seeing cars that had their own strengths and weaknesses but were still competitive overall. V8 Supertaxis are incredibly bland in comparison. Unfortunately it looks like there's a bucketload of money in it, so it's here to stay :sick: I'd absolutely LOVE to see some variety in the series. It'd also be nice if, instead of the local manufacturers crying because they were being flogged, they used it as an incentive to step up to the plate. As it stands, there's not a great deal of a reason for them to do so, because they're not being compared to vastly superior machinery.

Meh anyway, it's all wishful thinking. Not going to happen, guess I'll just go back to the bike racing and rallies :sick:

      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

      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.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
