We haven't got long now and I imagine most of us will be spending the day before Marques in the Park polishing our pride and joys - Should we look at meeting up somewhere and helping each other out with hows, whys and why nots etc

If not the day before, we could choose another day/evening etc but need people there like Mick (Bullet32) to provide guidance etc and to hit us over the back of the head if we do something silly.

I'm sure some of you have some real handy techniques for doing this type of work and it would be fun... I'll even try hard not to put any sh!t on anyone >_< okay... we all know I couldn't help myself.

I don't know if there is enough room here at my place, but its a thought - open for suggestions!

I'd be interested depending on the day its happening.

Bah im going to have to get to canberra at some ridiculous time to polish it before Marques, bugger spending hours cleaning then driving down Barton HWY in the early morning >_<

I'm interested

However the day before I will be at a wedding so here's 1 vote for an afternoon somewhere >_<

I was actually going to take the Friday off and do it then... it's a good excuse as any

Hmm, are you sure that you want an EX detailer showing the tricks of the trade...

I might have forgotten everything, it was about 3 years ago :D

Anyone who turns up with Franjipani's will be asked to leave and not turn up to Marques in the park either...

Yes... we're sure we want you to show us the tricks of the trade... even if they are three years old

okay... I'll beg :DMick

Well... Since youre begging.....

I'll think about it. :P

Okay Michael... enuff thinking, where and when? Jeno/Jo might be able to organise underground car park access so we are in the shade, but there won't be power (??? do we need power???)

What do we need Michael? And what day, Saturday or Sunday?

Hi Mick,

As Ladybytes says we just need a time/date of your willingness and what you need us to bring "armor all" j/k.

My weekend, like a few others is on hold until we know when you would like to run this session. My GF will book me out if I don't get there first.

Thanks

I'll tell you what, you guys organise time and place and I'll tell you whether I can make it or not.

Bring any cleaning products that you want and I'll make sure that I tell you if its worth using or not, dont forget a chamois and rags.

Remember that a wash isnt a wash if it doesnt end with a good chamoising!

You wont need power / electricity unless someone needs their car machine buffed (and Im not doing that because it takes hours).

Remember that everyone will need to wash their cars to begin with so we'll have to meet up somewhere and then head off to a car lovers somewhere.

I think maybe meet at the museum early on Friday, 6:30 or 7pm, may give us some light left, or meet somewhere like Brindabella business Park or Brand Depot car park (nice and central) on Sat or Sun sometime.

    • 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.
