My advice is to stay well clear of keep left signs late at night if you don't want to need to replace your bonnet! :uh-huh: *Trying to learn from past mistakes...*

At Least it was a good excuse to spend a ridiculous amount of money on mods... :)

Yeah, I have been looking at that s15 too, looks like a drift special straight from Japan. Hey Moggy, whats the finish like on that bonnet, I have been looking at those bonnets on there website for a while now. Which one did you get? Last time I was at their shop they were pushing hard for me to get one but, no money and didn't fancy carring one home on the plane! They look very nice though.

Hi, just dropping by lookin at all the sweet sweet skylines....*drool*

well im always looking out for them whenever im driving about around the Tweed/Gold coast areas. Saving for my very own skyline. The thought of one just makes me need to change my pants. *blush* heading up to brisse on sunday to wander the streets looking at the pretty cars ^_^

anyways hopefully ill get one by the end of the year or early next one. But someday ill get it! ;)

Saw a couple about a month ago parked one maroon skyline near the casino i had a nice look at forgot what model heh ^^; But still always nice to see some go by ;)

well might go play some Inital D at Replay. played it last time and now i must play it more! lol but not ganna spend to much on it cause i want the real thing ;)

I thought the finish was excellent - a lot better than I thought it was going to be, in fact. Very glossy, and you can't see any break lines in the fibres where they used more than one sheet (if they did). I got the one they advertise for the series 1, with the vents over the radiator and above the turbo (fair bit of heat comes out of that one). I actually had to wait a few weeks for one to be available cause they sold out and were waiting for a new shipment. They said that they go pretty quick - don't know how accurate this actually is...

I think they're pretty good if you can justify the price (they definitely look best on a white car, I think) but I can tell you that since I got it (only a week ago) I've been stared at by every single copper I've passed regardless of what they were doing and I think I'm going to be pulled up a LOT more than usual (which is not very often at all). :P We'll see...

Someone organise a cruize soon if not i will.KIf no one posts a thread let me know i would like to see a crew of us out at willowbank .Cmon dont be scared.I know some of you are we are all friendly and no one is going to laugh at your times?if anyone is keen put them on here.

    • 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.
    • 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.
