Well.....STILL here, another $2 in the internet kiosk :O 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!
lol

OMG whatever you do, don't eat the food on jetstar if you can help it.

Scarier and more plastic.. than McDonalds :D

lol, i do the catering for jetstar and yes, the food is downright shithouse

i was stuck there aswell till nineofcukinclock or whatever time it left due to the fact that we had to go back to our warehouse to get more of the food that the hosties will be giving out for free supposedly....

ads i hope you just demanded free drinks all flight - i know i would have!

Sooo.... Was a night of epic proportion as you can no doubt tell by my random crap above. Started at some bar call Yardhouse and as the name suggests, it's ALL yard glass's with 120 beers on tap! OMG yeah! Anyhoo, 3 or 4 bars after that then it was off to the beach for a 4am swim and some Hoff and Pammy action on the bay watch tower, the pics are gold. Anyhoo take it easy guys and I'll update at 4am tonight :P

Is this your first trip overseas mate? :)

Guy at work got back from Hawaii last week and told us about the Yardhouse, sounds very good! They jumped over to Vegas and LA too at the last minute as they figured while there are there, they may as well. Was a very good price too as they flew Jetstar. :P

Enjoy it :wub:

Wrote this out yesterday and lost it when the forum died :O

haha you were on the hawaii flight, wanna know why it was delayed, cos the plane was f**ked :( it was sitting in our hangar most of last week, I think in the end it was 36hs late we had guys working on it non stop for the time it was past it's scheduled departure. I think in the end they cancelled one of the sydney-asia flights and flew that airplane down here to do the melbourne-hawaii run. thats the problem with jetstar, cos they only have a few planes if one f**ks up they got nothing to replace it with. Not sure of the exact problem with the bus though was something to do with a vibrating engine damaging components cos they are too tightass to change it.

Had an a320 to launceston i think the other night as well that went like 2hours late, we had to go give it a blo wjob (very technical term we use when the apu on an airplane is dead so you need to use an external machine to provide air to start the engines) had it all hooked up, flight was already like an hour late, started it up about to push out and they had to shut down to get a "distressed baby" off, which meant unloading baggage and us waiting around in the freezing cold for like 30 mins :) to start her up again. Though the chick sitting infront of the emergencey exit was hot, and I got a smile out of her too :P

QANTAS FTW!

Jetstar left us in Bali with a 12+ hour delay, shacked us up in some hole overnight and flew us out the next day... we were the lucky ones too as the qantas plane that came to pick us up was smaller than the original jetstar plane so 60 odd people were stuck there for another day... jetstar use all the old qantas jets so are forever breaking down... never again... were forced to fly jetstar as it was a work trip but if I had a choice it would be qantas all the way... air travel is one thing I try not to skimp on

jetstar use all the old qantas jets so are forever breaking down...

the a330's that jetstar use are only a few years old...their much better aircraft than the 767's that qantas use and about 15yr's newer. They don't exactly break down alot either, it's just when they do unlike qantas, jetstar have nothing to replace them with, if a qantas jet goes unservicable for whatever reason they just swap planes around most of the time the passengers never know. And their a320's, the little ones are all brand spankers....

Hey all, Adz reporting in. Has been a HUGE week, took a big ford truck limo round the island yesterday to check out the sites and went swimming at north shore (pipeline). Was able to take been in the limo so was a big day. BTW - beer here is awesome, Asahi, Sapporo, Kirin and all the other good stuff too. Had some HUGE, HUGE, HUGE nights and some very sore mornings/arvo's too. I said I was goign to show Americans how to drink and I feel my mission is complete. We even got on the Wang Bangers at our local Irish bar :(

We are heading on a hummer tour tomorrow to check out all the movie locations, Jurassic Park, Godzila etc so that should be ace. Tonight is going to be another HUGE night, it's out last big one on this island so it's gonna go out with a bang. My post drunks later if I can see the keyboard. Anyhow take it easy guys/girls and speak sonn!

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 :( 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

:P

      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.
