Now that SAUQLD is a CAMS affiliated club, if we were to hoist a couple of skyline only hill climb days at Mt Cotton with full timing would many you motor sport guys be interested? We would be looking at capping the events to 20 – 30 cars.

Discuss.

Definitely! Its a top idea Josh! I'd be up for that, I love Mt Cotton and haven't run there for over a year. 30 cars would get heaps of runs too. Good way for people to learn the place.

Only hitch is I'm not a member for SAU QLD and I don't currently have a Skyline! But I do have my eye on one now that I sold my Datto track car - btw Ben I might need to chat about RB20 mods in the not too distant future :thumbsup: But if I don't end up with this Skyline, it could be a bit of fun to allow the Supra in if you need to fill up numbers when it all happens??? I can just imagine the pitlane banter!

Yeah I'd love to have a run there as I've never done it. I'm not a Qld member either but can soon organise that :)

Johhny-O will come in his GTR, as I assume Ben will too.

Harry Harry Harry, what have you done?!?! lol

Would be interested, except would need clarification on noise restrictions!!! ?

Thanks for the reply lads! In an ideal world we’d love to have member only events similar to other established clubs, but from a numbers prospective it’ll be opened up to members and forums members.

2009 will be the first year for SAU to be a CAMS affiliated club, so we understand we need to “create” events to cater to everyone for people to want to sign up

Harry, I don’t see an issue with the odd one or two cars not being a Skyline. Makes for some rivalry and SAUQLD is just about enthusiasts as much as owners. How come you sold the GTR?

Michael off the top of my head Mt Cotton is somewhere around 96db – 98db, all be it a rather lenient restriction when I’ve been there at least.

cool. I think it was temporary insanity??? I sold it for the 230rwkw Datsun 1200 coupe, but I always regretted it. I may have another Skyline very soon anyway and if that comes through I'll join SAU now that they've got CAMS affiliation.

yeah the noise isn't too much of an issue at Mt Cotton. I think they say 95dB, but my CA18DET Datsun 1200 just ran an open side pipe and never got pinged for noise there!

I'll second wrxkilla's Morgan Park suggestion too, but having been involved in runing events there in the past with SPARC you find alot of people think its a bit far to go. Its definitely worth driving the extra hour past QR IMO. They have a pretty full calendar though so that would pretty much have to be a weekday thing I'd say.

Unfortunately it’ll have to be a day at MP. One of the Execs has a pretty good report with the people who run it, so exact date TBA.

230rwkw 1200 would almost be as much fun as the GTR I’d image, if not more. I have some Dato mates, one with a 1600 coupe and the little old L banger can bring a smile with its 100hp? :P

I second the above comments, we will have to offer it to the members first but I think but all should be welcome.

It may just help break down stigma's if we can include other manufacturers fan bases & promote the 'car lover-regardless' idea

from memory the Gold Coast shire section is 92db, not sure what Redlandshire restrictions are but 95-96db comes to mind(guesstimation from old mans reticent memory-thats me :D )

I'd be interested in coming up there if dates suit and you guy's want a cockroach invading.

Neil.

absolutely. I will bring something up too. even the volvo if need be.

keep saunsw updated and we will bring along some cars as well as Neil and myself. We were going to do a road trip anyway (Russ owes me a beer or 10) and I would rather support a SAU QLD event.

      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. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. 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

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.
