Having the padles move with the wheel are a must. glad my car came with them like that.

Although in tight corners when you would turn the wheel more than you can twist without releasing your hand and re-grabing them makes it hard.

This wouldn't be so much of a concern on a track or rally. moreso for tight street stuff.

dunc , nope i have no rally experience so big learning curve, ben will have to keep me in check

i have done about 15 years as a mechanic for an ARC team but not as driver.

no we dont have tyres sorted, we will be running on the tyres i used at superlap! :laugh: they are half f#@ked! i also have a spare set of the bridgestones runflats if needed.

we will definately struggle for tyres but will still be a good learning curve and shake down for next year.

If you don't mind me saying that is a funny attitude, for what is involved, tyres are #1 as if you need me to tell you that.

I have to say since semi's aren't readily available in 20's I'm suprised people haven't given the Pirelli P Zero's a shot on the GT-R's. I was super impressed with them on the R8's we ran at Phillip Island and the lap times we were doing showed they were performing pretty sweetly too. They did have a drop off in perfmormance once they got really hot but it wasn't too bad.

But I don't know how they compare to the dunlops as I haven't had the chance to have a play on them. But the Pirellis may be worth a look at if you are looking for rubber.

still got the rear centre speakers in too!

car has to remain original weight for the rallies we are doing, mind you the cupholder weighs about 500 grams but covers the the sensors and protects them

    • 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.
