after getting my car cleaned during the week (get it done quarterly now)

and then spending today waxing and finishing the job off

ive driven to a wedding, come back to the car to find f**kING WHITE PAINT all down one side of the car and my front left and rear left wheel

covered in paint

the wheel arches are totally white (my baby is blue with sparkles) and then theres large globs of paint flicked all down the side of front and rear door

i sure as hell didnt drive through no paint puddles, so i can only imagine its fresh line markings somewhere between holland park and suncorp statium (well the church on the hill above it anyway) via the freeway

I f**kING HOPE MAIN ROADS ARE GOING TO PAY TO FIX MY f**kING PAINT JOB

i just came home from the wedding and have spent the last half hour with metho cleaning and recleaning the affected side of the car

slightly upset spook

Shouldn't clean it just yet..take pics first. Then get a quote for a respray and send it along to BCC for a claim see what they say. I've heard of ppl running over potholes, damaging their wheels and got compensated by the council.

this happened to me a while back.

hit a pot hole, stuffed up the right hand drivers side suspension.

brought a 2nd hand strut and that, had someone install it and then sent the invoices and bills onto BCC to reinburst me for the cost along with some photos of the pot hole.

2wks later a cheque was sent out to me.

Backtrack your route and see if you can find the offending section of road spooky. Take some pics and do as toy did. I cant believe they didnt have a wet paint section cordoned off.

and on the flipside, they flat out refused to fix damage to my vehicle caused by a pothole, citing legal precedents that they don't have to pay etc

I hit a pot hole in ipswich. It was an existing pothole which had been repaired, but the repair bitumen had slid away making another pot hole before the existing covered up one. Anyways, i buckled my 17" mag on my bluey after not seeing the hole and being unable to swerve around it at the last second. I took photos of the pothole and road and had my mag sent away to be repaired. I filled out a compensation claim form to have the $125 to be repaid to me for the cost of the mag repair. I received a letter from one of the councillors saying they refused my claim as it was the road that simply had another pot hole and not the repaired part which had done the damage.

Not too mention the bloody councillor then had the nerve to send me a christmas card a few months later...

      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. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. 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.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      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.
