Well I’ve been the proud owner of my beautiful girl for 3 years or so now, its been and interesting relationship, she has at times seen plenty of tarmac and at others none at all. We’ve grown together, she’s become harder better faster and stronger (reference new Kanye West song), and she has become well known for not only her looks but her new ability to back them up with whiplash inducing acceleration. She has never let me down and thanks to the boys at Trojan probably never will. But alas situations change and there comes a time when every good owner accepts that his special lady would be having much more fun in the loving care of another. I simply need another type of car as my situation has changed. I don’t know how easy it will be to let go, not only to her but the memories, the good ol SAU days…

In the coming weeks I’ll be advertising it on the for sale section but I thought I would give everyone here a chance to get in first. I know the chances are pretty remote that any of you guys are interested (as most people here already have there own skylines).

So let me know guys and gals, I would love it to stay local but if it goes interstate, so be it.

Anyone interested before the specs and price etc go up is more than welcome to ask.

Cheers

(oh and pic is pretty accurate, only the mesh is gone and the cooler is exposed)

I know its an old daft punk song fool :)

It certainly has changed leechy. And yeah hopefully the new owner can appreciate that its a bit different.

As said i'll put up a proper for sale thread but i thought i'd let some of the old crew know that it was happening and see if there was any local interest before it went official.

Finally its in FS

Waiting for detailing to be done before new pics up so its not the most exciting ad in the world right now. Anyway hope someone local is keen.

(dont know if this link will work, i'm not a massive computer nerd *cough* i mean computer expert.

      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.

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.
