yes andrew, ive changed my mind.

i wanna see the assholes that started these fires burn. no hearings. no court cases. no chance to defend themselves. i want to see them burn.

luke jacobs i think.

Yeah +1 to that. Throw the book at them (or set the bastards on fire).... fundraiser would be good but I dunno how far we can go with our general SAU turnout.. then again even a small amount of cash would be better than nothing... could do a BBQ like Damo suggested? Everyone brings a plate of food/meat and $10? Then donate the cash to salvos or red cross or some other charity that's helping people out

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

what would that achieve? the law is so f**king lax. if its a kid they'll get a f**king slap on the wrist. actually, an adult would get nothing more than that too. shit, couple years with no parole at most? burn the motherf**kers.

Bugger! Think my turbo is on its way out. Making some minor "rattling" noises (sounds like dry bearings) under the engine bay. No harm to performance at all. Runs the same and perfectly fine. Its just some odd noise I can hear when I'm not blowing my brains out with Linkin Park. I'm pretty sure its the turbo. Getting it checked out on the way home tonight by some mob in Regency Park. :(

Maybe a 3071 is due! :D

Or I might just keep the stock turbo and rebuild it with new bearings so the cops are happy. :P

Edit: I'll also add ...

When I shut the engine off, I hear the faint noise for another 5 secs after. Perhaps bearings in turbo spooling down? The only thing I can think of that would still be 'rotating' or 'running' after the engine is off. I'd like to think its something else, but must be realistic.

Any ideas at all what it would cost me? Ballpark figure? :(

Yeah I think the problem is that you listen to Linkin Park, the rattling noise is the tinnitus haha

Confirmed. Turbo core is rattly and on its way out. $1700 to rebuild.

Do I go with rebuilding it or would a 3071 be better with less lag?

For $1700, what do I do people? :P

f**k 1700? a guy in melb hiflows for 800? You can get more power out of a 3071r :P but do you wanna upgrade injectors, fuel pressure reg, fuel pump, z32afm, etc etc?

I'm with damo on this. If u get defected you'd have to take the FPR, AFM and turbos off. I know you're mechanically smart enuff to do that, I'd just be wondering if its worth the money/hassle.

That said, 3071's are hardcore :P DO EEEET!

It's definetly worth the hassle, time and money otherwise no one would buy anything....300rwkw is definetly worth the risk. loll

      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.
