Just a quick post to say thanks for coming to everyone, hope you had fun. Will post a review later.

Was my first cruise as a leader so huge thanks to Dan for navigating and hope you enjoyed the drive up the mountain.

Should be some good pics from the top of the tower at Mount Donna Buang.

Mav - mental note for the next one, don't organise a meet in a park and ride carpark with the young owner of a former yellow taxi on a power trip! :P

Great day, we managed to beat the rain, at least until we got off the mountain :(

Was great to go on a cruise i wasn't organising :P that said, navigating can be just as taxing.

Huge thanks to Saff for being my pilot for the day, as well as my navigator while i had a go! :)

OK Wrap up

Rexdan and I were in the Evo plus 14 other cars at the peak time. Turbox cruised out to Kinglake with us but then headed back to the city and Kaz met us up there and came the rest of the way.

A quick stop on the side of the road to regroup as 5 had got lost off the back possibly due to a small junction being missed in the directions :(

A few photos were taken there before carrying onto Kinglake. Parked up in the large gravel carpark before wandering over for some food from the local bakery. We left Kinglake bound for Healesville at about 12pm after spending 45mins ish at Kinglake.

By passed Healesville and headed up Mount Donna Buang which is an awesome road. We had a relatively clear run which made it more enjoyable and with just 3 cars in the carpark at the top, we all got a park and more pics taken. A few of us climbed to the top of the metal structure which was a bit higher than I envisaged from the bottom! Some more pics taken from up there which should look ace.

Steady cruise back down the Warburton Hwy and a quick farewell in Lilydale before going our seperate ways. All up from the 10am departure to Lilydale was about 4.5hours and then an extra hour roughly for me to get home.

Was excellent, everyone was well behaved that I saw too. Good result for SAU :P

Thanks again to attendees. :)

I was the one taking pics from the tower, I hope the pics come out ok the rail kept getting in the way of the camera when on the tripod. When using the railing to stabalilse the shot, it was clear that the tower was moving in the wind :P. I haven't checked the pics out yet, but when i get home i'll edit out numberplates find the good pics and upload them 4 yas :rant:

Thanks to everyone who was a part of the cruise esp the organisers :rant: it was a heck of a lot of fun esp on one corner ... :(

Looking forward to the next cruise, I'll actually bring MY car insted of going in the bitch seat :rant:.

Thank's AL.

Got to admit a bit of touching up done to make them better and smaller to upload. ;D

Got to get a decent camera one day too might help.

That road is awesome! It's not too dangerous really cos it's a very slow road. The road up the mountain would be worse, much faster but just as fun :)

Another awesome SAU cruise, they never dissapoint, although I really need to try to get to one on time instead of as they are leaving the carpark :)

Big thanks to all the organisers!

      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.

      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.

      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.
