Iv been to every one since #12. Its a lot more civilized these days.. which i guess is a good and bad thing :blink:

Night time with a import is still hairy, but can be offset by either car or how big your arms are hehehe. A riceless ride that sound off guts and pops a burnout every now and then still gains some attention of the good kind. Having a car load of massive mates (pref looking like ice dealers) helps a lot too haha

Hey Jon... have you seen the Summernats thread in NSW Events? There are a few coming down and it could turn into dinner on Sat night. I know its late notice, but is it worth trying to get a few more cars there?

I have not seen anyone on these forums that could enter as a full entrant anyway.

You obviously have no idea what youre talking about, i could enter mine, and its far from the most mechanically modded or showy car here, and after being at scrutineering on tues eve, i could even put my ute in, and its dead stock with a couple of gauges and a fire extinguisher.

I know that widebody 32 from here has entered his car a few times, theres more to entering than winning grand champ, things like the dyno comp, driving events, show n shine, being in the top 60, which is what were hoping for with the rod this year, hope it makes it

For the six cars entering remember the following. I plan on being there about 8.30.

Sunday, all vehicles will meet at Dickson College (corner of Antill St and Phillip Ave Watson) between 8:00 and 9:15 am, Once there, Officials will:

Ensure the vehicle is on the attendance list.

Check to see if Vehicle is registered or on valid permit (no unregistered vehicles will be allowed to enter Summernats 20)

Place wristbands on all entrants (max 2 adults and number of children who legally fit inside the vehicle)

Place window sticker on Vehicle

Thank you to John for organising, it was a great day, so many cars on show in the arena that I didn't feel the slightest bit worried about the car.

FYI-Shannons told me that we are insured when we are at Summernats or any show n shine type event unless competing in go to whoa, burnouts, motokhanas etc.

We went as a family with Thomas and Reece as our kids :D

Well what a turn out and a great day. A big thank you to everyone who attended and "risked" their cars. Despite the fears of "Drunk V8 Bogans" damaging cars it turned out to be another car show with a few extra freebies and a lot more stalls.

What a stinker of a day it was, but you know the day will be good when all the V8's get nearly stripped searched before entering NATS and the Skylines just get waived through :-). I believe that is partly due to our social reputation in Canberra helped by turning up in large numbers to cars shows and not being dicks on the road. Of course having someone like Ladybytes as PR (loudmouth?) always helps.

There were quite a few skylines in attendance at the NATS, here's a few:

      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.

      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.
