They still ra nthe Shakedown but were only allowed to run up the hill, not down and then up. it's claimed a few cars over the years that tree. Both 35's were looking do today through both stages i did. Ben and Russ really seem to know how to push the car, going very hot into the chicanes too. caught up with them after the competition today, 2 of the nicest blokes you will ever meet :-)

Ben and Russ has a minor off today, and the running-people-over bonnet popped up. Looking at the car you wouldn't know it had been off the road (now the bonet is back down). Appart from that they are going great, just wishing for r comp tyres, the std ones are quote "shithouse"

hey you know that they've been trying when they have to get pulled out of a ditch.

Kel and Tony are in 6th, still not really happy with the tyres or handling either but at least they are giong a long way better than at Targa.

Is it still going to be wet tomorrow Ben?

Toyo are supposed to be releasing an R Comp (R888's) for the R35 at the SEMA motorshow in November apparently. I must say I've never thought the Toyo's were much chop on heavier cars like normal GTR's but given these were pretty much specifically designed for this car for the US market they might be ok (and surely will be better than what the options are now).

Anyways despite the small issues it sounds like from the text mssages that the boys are having some fun so thats all that matters.

There are a bunch of Evo 9s kicking around in the country with Ralliart TMM (Team Mits Motorsport) style stickers.

Different one from Targa roll over.... that was Rod Salmon

:)

My car, I sold it to Rod

Good stuff....Kel ended up coming home in 5th which I reckon is a pretty good outing.

Rus and Ben also made it home (9th) although I hear there were a few white post casualties on the last stage - then again who hasn't knocked out one or two of them :wacko:

And funnily enough the DK R32 came home equal 5th with the DK R35. I guess the old nuggets still go OK too.

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      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.
