OMG Joey :O:(

Thats such bad news....so glad you are ok tho

It is hard to drive these cars in the wet at times, I know I have been taking it very easy for that same reason..

Hope you get her fixed up soon :P

*hugs*

Thanks Jess.

I hope it dose not take long to fix it cause i feel lost not driving. I was supposed to drive to canberra this weekend for my uncles birthday but had to go with my parents :) .The boot is pushed in maybe about half a foot or so and the drivers side from the door back is buckled so im praying to god it wont take long. :(

unfortunate luck there Joeys - gotta be real careful in the wet with these cars!! Also decent tyres with good tread depth makes a world of difference. I minimise the amount I drive in the wet because mine are getting down a bit - been trying to find some rims in better nick but failing that will just have to bite the bullet and get new tyres.

that vid is great :)

R31's drift hard in the wet. especially with a locker :)

find myself wondering whether a 1.5 way in my car would be a good compromise between sideways and driveability.

My car got towed to Just Cars Assesment centre at Condell Park today for their final assesment :)

Did anyone see it?

It was a sad moment to see. I only hope it turns out as good as it once looked.

I'm sure it will dude! they can work wonders these days, it's just a waiting game now!!!

My car barely makes it out of the garage these days because I'm a little paranoid about getting hit again!

Hi all!

Just got word from Just Cars and the car will be getting towed today form their assesment centre at Condell Park to Senator Smash Repairs at Rooty Hill/Glendenning to be fixed. Spoke with them and should have the car back in a month or there abouts. Yeah!

Has anyone heard about this smash repair before?

Joe :)

No courtesy car for me, if it was an accident with another car involved and i was not at fault then yes one would be provided. In this case no no.

So i will be looking around for a cheep car. Sorta been looking for one so i don't have to drive mine every where to keep km's down. If anyone knows of one please PM me.

Hi all. Can someone answer me this question?

My car is getting repaired and i would asume that the battery has been disconected during te full tine of the repair. Will the computer loose it's memory in regards to the tune or not :D ? Will i have to get the car tuned again? :(

    • 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.
