Out Of Interest: In a non-medical EMERGENCY, would you allow your girlfriend or wife to drive your precious Skyline (whilst you're at work) or would you call a taxi/mate instead ??

I had to allow my ex to drive my 64 Dodge with big block, stall, etc. She got it out of it's hidey hole without scratching it (35-40mm each side) and came to the rescue...of me driving her Celica that had a busted fuel pump lol. She had no idea how to change a tyre on her MGB with centre lock nut but she could drive...a bit. She might have trouble with the clutch in the Line though. I'm toying with the 16yr old hairdresser in my house driving the Line when it gets it's P's...in a massive carpark.

I let one bird I was seeing drive my 100 after I got on the sauce at the work christmas party. She loved how nice it was to drive but didn't want to give it too much shit. I was surprised how well she handled the full face clutch, only stalled it once.

It is really down to the individual.

My wife gets scared when she is driving the GTST when it comes on boost and she is just plain frightened when she is asked to drive the GTR. Put her in her own car and she puts the boot into it all the time - so it is just what you are comfortable with.

By the same token some of the female SAU members are very impressive behind the wheel and would give any of the guys a run for their money. “Sinful” - Jessica is one who comes to mind who is a better driver when the pedal is on the floor that most of the guys on this site as reflected by her times at track days.

I've let two of my X's drive my car..

The french one was used to the European side of things and was about half a metre away from parked cars at all times.. 100m and I told her to gtfo.

Other X was fine, a little hesitant to drive it hard, but did well none the less.

      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.

      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.
