Great weekend, well done Ash for organising. I think someone should send an email to Alisa thanking her on behalf of the club (I am happy to do this Ash if you want? )

Was a very good weekend and most importantly, we didnt run dry!

Some great pics, well done Paul and Sarah :(

Great weekend, well done Ash for organising. I think someone should send an email to Alisa thanking her on behalf of the club (I am happy to do this Ash if you want? )

Its cool, i usually drop her an email after the event :)

Well, not this week as Salon is coming up and its quite busy

what a BIG weekend (well....4 days). thanks to everyone involved, really was a top effort. Plenty of SAU antics going on throughout the weekend >_<

top effort with the photo's Paul! cant believed i missed Kris in the short shorts.....

Well it looks like everyone had fun. Once again, SAU comes through with the goods and picks up a couple trophies! I don't think we've gone an AutoSalon event before without winning something.

Just goes to show that SAU is full quality and also know how to party hard!

nice display guys. :mellow: thanks very much to all the SAU Vic guys for making me welcome and opening the door and the esky for me. It was good to meet quite a few of you and enjoy some nice melbourne weather. I may have drunk a touch too much over the weekend as both troy and I were a bit shaky today, but feeling much better tonight. I'm happy to extend the red carpet to any of the guys who make a trip north. Thanks again. :laugh:

Congrats Ash for putting this all together mate, fantastic job.

All the cars looked sensational and Im sure the F1 Patrons have their SAU fill.

Thanks to Sarah and Pauly for all the great pics too, great Job.

Was great to see so many familiar faces down at the track.

Love the F1, now have to wait a whole year for their return.

KL in 17 Days but who's counting.

Well I only went on Saturday but had a fantastic time. Actually was one of the best days I've ever had!!

Hooked up with a work contact that got me full pit access and got to meet Jackie Stewart which was the main highlight. Also hanging out in the Super Aguri & Ferrari Pit's right before they went out for qualifying was a highlight, Super Aguri pit team were very laid back and stopped for a photo opp, Ferrari Pit team looked flat out the whole time as they should be. Probably spent about 40 minutes strolling around all of the pits before we were booted out as they started qualifying.

Other than that my main highlights were - Being driven around in golf buggy's, getting back to the SAU display at the end of the day and being very intoxicated (Making the Mark Webber Mask smoke and talk!) and everyone else NOT being as drunk as me.

Well done to the people from SAU for organising the autosalon display, such a good turn out!

A couple of pit photos...

Sounds like you had an awesome time.... scratch that, when I saw you, I think you were STILL in Party mode and why should'nt you be.

Pictures look awesome, they are some serious contacts you have to get SO close to all the action.

Thanks for sharing.

    • 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.
