My other half has been using my skyline this week, cus he left his keys out at work (works 2 hours inland)...

Him and his mates bought some air horns, the type you use with that gas stuff..

He left them in the car, in which the car sits outside in the sun all day. Next thing he hears this huge BANG!

Due to the amount of heat, the cans blew up inside the car, and smashed one of my windows.

I dunno what the window is called - but now i need a new one!!!! So anyone that would have one, im keen to buy! It's a R33.

So guys, please don't leave aeresols, or even alcoholic cans rolling around your car. I've learnt it before with alcohol, as someone left a can of jim beam inside, and it exploded.

Took forever to clean!

Cheers Karina

Im making him pay for it.

He's been a bit unlucky lately. He put up one of those shade things, which were held down by 1 brick on each corner.. the strong winds flung is off his r32, and when it landed all the poles scratched each panel, + his brand new if a month old front bar. Did it a couple times..

*sigh*

Did you have factory UV glass? If you did then it could be very hard but it looks like you don't from the pics...call some glass repairers and see how much the rear quarter glass panels cost...

New windscreen (front) was $250 on my R33, at least it wasn't the rear window (with the demister) :P

Had the same thing happen to a can of deoderant in my girlfriends car, it was sitting on a CD at the time and the CD got blown into about 40 peices, was pretty funny. Other than that, no mess, apart from the car smelling like Lynx :P Must have been one hell of an explosion on yours, lucky no one was inside! :)

Damn, expensive lessons....nothing to do with luck though. Heatstroke affected decision making maybe.

Good thing it wasn't whipped cream or cheez whiz, now that would have made a mess.

A clip across the ear is required I think.

      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

      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

      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.
