So...stuck at Melbourne Airport, should have been in the air by now but no.....what's the excuse? "It's a budget airline" or so the budget staff say! Anyhoo, nothing better to do than kill time here :) Should be in Hawaii in 10 hours time and I'm pretty sure I'll be even more pissed than I am now, never realised how well a pint or 5 of Kilkeny go's down with a bowl of chips. For those of you who care I'll be sure to sign on and update my antics :P Almost been in a blue with smart ass Jet Star staff and havn't even left the ground yet! See you this morning! (Yes we are going back in time, go go intenational date line!, a chance to rigth my wrongs!!) -Adz and Dee

when we went to Cairns via Jetstar.. supposed to leave at 8pm.. ended up going to Troys til 1am! Had a nice leisurely dinner. Shame our GeoffGTRtaxiservice had already left the airport :) Plane left at 2:30am...

Squashed knees against seats in front = 30mins of sleep max.

We get in at 6amish and have to drive to motel without map.. geez I have good instincts as to where to go :P

Anyway slept half the day and had to drive to Townsville the next day for a wedding so bit of a waste.. :\

but for $99 flights who can complain! (vs $300 each to townsville!)

Anyhoo, if you don't want to go to Hawaii on Jetstar, let me know and we can swap.. Dee & I can go shopping in the Waikiki Beach market hehe :D

PS Have fun & stay safe :D

Well.....STILL here, another $2 in the internet kiosk :) Yep Bec, sucks balls! Anyhoo, 3 double blacks later and still board. Can't say much for the service. Meal vouvher buys a drink though so thats a plus! Apparently another 2 hours....WTF!!!?? My advise, NEVER fly Jetstar. Yeah it's cheap but you gotta wonder why!

Bec - PIES!!!!

Basti - 2 weeks, who's that in your pic?

Yeah bugger off... bloody whiner.

My mum took 18 hours to get from Wellington Airport NZ to Melbourne airport... should take a max of 3.5 hours with a head wind.

Then when she came over again... she got stuck in Sydney for 5 hours on their tarmac and wasnt allowed to leave the plane or even order any food... this is while i was at Melbourne waiting for her... they wouldnt even let them off the plane to call anyone to let them know they were going to be late.

    • 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.
