Update on the oil..

I've found the Castrol 10w60 to be a little too thick.

WOT over 3500rpm now see's 8kg/cm2 on the stock guage. :cheers:

Idle is 3, cruise ~2000rpm is 5. Cold start max's out the guage.

Prior to the castrol i ran motul 8100 5w40.

Idle - Needle over 2, cruise ~2000rpm - 4, WOT over 4000rpm 7 (only just).

It appears to make oil pressure much much more quickly now.. 3500rpm vs 4000rpm to see its peak oil pressure.

I think this is too high personally.

4Door_sleeper, whats yours run at?

lately ive watched quite a number of movies. Movies that ive seen which i can remember of the top of my head include..........

initial d the movie - pretty average

sin city - awesome just awesome. worth the money/watching

the island - quite good

land of the living dead - quite dissapointing actually, although i wasnt expecting much

house of wax - very good

what about others, what have you guys/girls seen lately and what did u think of it?

damn that is a v.nice paint job!

Hey Sam, would you be able to paint my wheel centres in your shed? They are stripping off the chrom lip and the centres, and they should be ready to mask and paint when I get them back. Do you think it would be an easy job? Also, are heatproof paints easy to come by? Otherwise I might just get the entire wheel mirror polished. Pic attached. Also 2 pics attached of what mine would look like polished.

im sure you can do it yourself andrew. go on. there was someone on this forum who did it themselves with a spray can - i bet that put you off straight away didnt it, to his spokes much like what you do to your calipers. But if you want the silky factory coloured look, use a spray gun which i guess sam would be the one to do it. im sure he's still in Adelaide atm.

I actually do have a compressor and spray gun etc .... but have never used them. Maybe I will give it a go myself. I wonder how hard it would be to do shadow chrome - that is what I would really like for the spokes.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • 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.
