As good as mine are of doing 1.43.

I'll be there and will be mainly hoping to drive the car home.

It's been nearly 2 years since I was last at PI so I'm pumped to go. Mind you it's been 18 months since I completed a track day so I'm not getting too excited about any times or anything. Infact if I can get your 1.51 I'll be happy Bris.

Scotsmans best there is still 1.51 I think. Maybe he'll be happy to bet with you!

The fact some of these other boys are doing 1.43's is just plain freaky.

But Bris - be warned in all seriousness that unless it's a PIARC day they are now super strict on the 75dB@30m thing. Aaron got pinged late last year and his car is super quiet.

Yours isn't. You might only get a couple of laps if you don't tone the exhaust down.

Infact everyone should be well aware of this before they fork out the $180. If you think your car is loud either bring something to make it quiet or be prepared to just tottle past the testing station (which is on the inside on the main straight down near turn 1.)

OOH. Good point. Might have to see about getting the gate plumbed back up.

As for the times. Yeh who knows. I just want a session with no yellow flags and no car problems. Something i havent been able to do at PI...though my car appears to be over its hissy fit it had when it first arrived in Vic.

So i want a sub 1:55. How much i can goi under it i dont know. But i still think that is Chris did a 1:51 in his GTR (in 2004 spec) then my car should be able to do it...the driver just needs some more practice. Hell a farking Mirage does 1:53s

Mind you it's been 18 months since I completed a track day so I'm not getting too excited about any times or anything.

The only track day i have finished as i have started is Sandown. >_< I know it sux but sooner or later you will come out the other side. I am running out of time and money, and patience. All i care about is the times because my engine will only hold on so much longer and when it goers bang i will be parkign it for a long time :laugh:

I'll be at PI this Sunday for the PIARC day, chasing 1:47's...

Roy - If you get a 1:51 I'll buy you 2 kegs.... On a serious note, a lot of time can be made at turn 1, hayshed, and coming onto the front straight.

Hold it flat through those corners and you will be on the money!!!!

In saying that 1:53's is achievable, it just depends on whether your foot listens to your brain, if the brain says back off, DON'T!!!

LOL...im being serious :laugh: . So is that a bet? :laugh:

And before ppl get upset with me...its all taking the piss. You have to have a goal, its great to hit it, no shame in trying and missing :geek:

LOL. It takes a bet for me to get my ass in gear and get the car ready. I wanted to do this weekend but DECA weeeknd has left me broke. Really looking forward to this. Will be my first track day since Sandown 2005.

I have to keep telling myself that:

Phillip Island:

- Mirage , 1:53s

- Commodore Ute , 1:52s.

- ME (PB) , 1:58s

At Sandown:

- Mirage does a 1:27

- Ute , 1:26

- Me (PB) , 1:25

At Winton:

- Mirage , 1:38

- Ute , 1:41

- Me (PB) , 1:41 (Dutton when i ran out of fuel on the warm up lap >_< )

So its up to me to get the job done. The car should be capable

      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.

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.
