But do they have any handeling?

Obviously not enougth for the hill climb, but maybe at a wakefield track day?

Having never driven any Skyline, I can't give you an answer based on personal experience... however, I'm confident that Supras hold their own on the circuit. And if we're talking about the HillClimb as an example, Mazman was driving a seriously overturboed car for that circuit and STILL beat most of your Skylines.

The best way to find out is put your money where your mouths are and get people from both camps to commit to a track / dyno / drag competition.

Agreed, though Dyno and Drag would both favour the Supra.

When it cools down, there is some interest in driving to Sydney and attending the regular Friday night drags. Otherwise SAU NSW hold a drag day each year??

Mazman is a dude and has an awesome car. Still most of the skylines were first timers to any competative racing and none had any of the money spent that the supra did.

Saying that a 4th place was awesome by the Mazman and I take nothing from the man.

i love how easily discussions on car forum degenerate into.. "mine is better than yours" if supras came out of the factory with 4wd it would be a different story.

Anyway getting back to the topic, its this going aheard? if i cant be in it then i will turn up and watch, should be awesome fun :)

I'm certain all cars would be welcome :) if your on this forum. Except maybe real shitters but that could be a laugh too. The passion is about your car whatever it is.

As far as mines better n faster than yours - whatever dudes. Everyone knows when it comes to speed/handling/looks of cars it's more about who has more disposable cash.

Your car is for you. What you want, what you want it to look like, how you want it to handle, how much speed you can afford or want, a good sound system if your into music. Sure others can appreciate it but really it's for you. I care a little what others think but dont get hung up on it. It's nice when some one else appreciates your car for what it is.

Anyway I'd be seriously dissapointed if peeps on this forum couldn't have their pride n joy in the Photo's.

Yeh. So back on topic, I would be once again happy to help Justin organise another photo shoot. I get the datto back this weekend from respray, so ill bring it along. But no one seems to have answered whether they want Justin to do the photography (instead we had a pissing contest and lets face it, Dattos rule :)), so can we get a show of hands or whatever please?

I am bored.....

Don't know what happened to Alan, but these things don't organise themselves.

Initially this idea was proposed on the R31 Skyline Club forum. You guys must know how the two clubs don't really mingle and it might have even put some people off.

Anyway, a new thread will probably be created once details are finalised.

      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.

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.
