I agree with you hippy - what drives individuals to go head-hunting in reference to these sort of issues (barely an issue). It's disgusting that red tape gets in the way of a good time and that people are so jealous that they would stoop this low. (Same as the cops reading posts in Vic)

Munro - saw the SPEED article (i knew it was you hehe), love your garage - top choices (right down to colours). Dont worry about the "feds" they've just got a chronic case of tall poppy syndrome!! Years of driving company VT Commodores would drive anyone mad!!

Keep on boosting - and get rid of the SS Ute - you know you want an FPV Pursuit (290Kw & 520Nm) hehe

john - when the M3 arrives, post some piccies! I love bmws but they are a bit common these days. Still got a soft spot for the M's. Its not the M3 CSL is it that you have ordered?

cheers,

dave

ps - its good that guys like you, who have the nice cars are prepared to let us enthusiasts drool over them... unlike a few drag skylines around at the moment.

Guy Bowden took 700 photos over 2 days for that article!!! It's

amazing how much work it all is, but it's good fun.

My SS ute is a good all rounder, but I do like the pursuit ute in blueprint - biggest flaw for me is the poxy cheap interior door handles - what a let down on an otherwise excellent vehicle.The

SS does have 235rwkw which is over 300kw at the flywheel anyway.

Not getting the CSL, just a regular SMG II in Estoril Blue.They are very comfortable & handle extremely well, & sometimes I get sick of stiff suspension & hard seats & just want a little class.

I hope you all enjoy the magazine article, I must say it's great to walk into a newsagent & see your own cars on the cover of such a good magazine.

Keep Boosting,

Later.

Munro, Can't believe you'd consider selling the R34. They R such a rarity on the streets and turn much more heads. Most others who can afford em use em for track work or events like running the Targa Tasmania, not regular street driving. The other group spend the dosh on what they consider to be "top echelon" sports cars. I suppose the work goin into Doug's old R33 would negate the use of the 34 but damnnnnnnn wat a loss.

Yeah, its a bit of a dilema for me.I had it for a year & totally enjoyed driving it everywhere.If I do sell it, it would be great if it stayed in Adelaide - but will have to wait & see.

Just read the article in the 'Speed' mag about the GTR vs EVO vs STi, awesome read. But did notice something... that mentioning of a 'John Munro' and also a the fact that this person owns GTR's, EVO's and M3's... i'm assuming this is u Munro? Or some very freaky coincidence/identical lives!

Anyways, i think it has been out for a little while so prob old news to most ppl but thought it was a great read, and yes the GTR is still King baby! And yes, Munro, u have THE best garage ever.  

Power FC plus exhuast + RB26DETT = 272rwkw :devil::D That's what the mag said... that's what i call impressive, couldn't believe it!!

Oh yeah, did have a question. Are M3's good drift cars?

interesting that ur turbos are hanging in there at 1.2 bar.

mine lasted 5 minutes,initially tuned at 1.1bar with standard ecu at 250kw at the wheels,lasted a week before i lost an exhaust wheel.

thought maybe a pre existing problem,but car was stock as a rock.

bit of a mystery

      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

      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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      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.
