This was a great event (was there for about 13 hours), such a shame the crowds werent bigger

The whole 12 hours was neck and neck between Evo's which was good to watch, the WBR WRX has a huge stack at 150k's into a wall and the word floating between teams was that they'd said nothing could be salvaged, they dont know how many G's it pulled on impact cause it broke the G meter.

There was absolutly SH!TLOADS of front rights blown out on the inside edge, some cars would be in every 30 mins for a new one. That was pretty crazy!

Daces ute locked up and understeered into a wall very early resulting in bent steering rack, control arms etc and a crack in the sump so it was all over for them - shame cause i was hanging out in their pit all day and the guys were looking forward to a big day of racing!

Google is a friend to all :thumbsup:

My bud Dean Grant was one of the drivers in that, but I can't get a hold of him. I'm assuming the driver was ok? Do you know who was driving at the time?

Heres Sundays shots, Light was epic in the morning... there are so many cause i couldnt cull them down:

I had the live results and commentary running all day which was pretty good, nfi who the commentators were but they were better than the usual Channel 7 ones.

Yea so did I,,,they were actually very good. Nothing like running through the whole field.

Ha Ha check out the pic Mat took of bargy,,,he's driving with his eyes closed.

Neil.

Did ya get a pic off searly blowing up tyres thru the chase at 240ks an hour lol. One every five laps & that was with all camber taken out they still dont know why they blew tyres think it was right hand rear might be wrong. But anyways welldone to luke for finishing fifth on the day & 2 or 3 seconds quicker than pauly morris lol.

    • 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.
    • 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.
