spotted yesterday arvo across the road from the beaches... a stock as lexus is200.... stock height, stock rims, but 3 guys looking under the bonnet... all i could see was polished bits and blue silicon hoses and a massive turbo... it has new style yellow plates... watch out for this one fellas... looks nuts.

Spotted white R32 going through Cardiff Round-a-about at about 6:30 last night, and also keep spotting the stock-looking Maroon R33 with plates JE33SS (or similar) Chick drives it :)

And thought I might ask, there's usually a dark blue R34 parked out the front of Cardiff Toyota/Subaru/Mazda etc and a Silver R33 also.

My mate knows the guy that owns that car. Its got 450HP at the wheels. He is going for more, should be putting out over 500 soon

Followed a Silver R32 2dr with no wing at about 6:30 from about the airport tonight. Unfortunately he boosted off once the double lanes came and didnt see him again after that.

Spotted a white R33 gtst with what looked like a 400R front bar?? Was following you from the Ourimbah freeway exit past the shell and down Enterprise Drive. I was in a silver Rav4 behind you :P

think you have to pm him for that one... i rememeber when he first started... he wanted serious customers only... so he didnt have piss jerkers hanging around all the time.. not sure if everyone knows it now or he still keeps it a secret.

cheers

its no real secret..my mate has a 5 bay shed at Whitebridge...1 bay strictly for engine work and plenty of room for a couple of race cars (our drag car and circuit car). Its not a full time operation...more like a hobby...but its decked out will all the tools and parts we need. We are looking into a full time set-up...but unfortunately not in Newcastle because the money's not here to make it viable.

    • 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.
    • 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.
