Nope. Tyre run trip is in process of orgamisation.

Scouts can do a BBQ for the day but need to know what people wants to eat i.e. burgers, or snag in bread for costing per head.

The tyre shop can do a good discount but need to know what sizes and how many.

Also thinking of doing a bulk buy for a drift tyre ( not sure what that is exactly but assumed that you would need some cheapies to flog the carp out of ) and sizes for them ( assume 17" ? )

Car wash = out :D water restrictions.

what have i missed?

what have i missed?

Not much yet

Was thinking the tyre shop at crow's nest is keen to do a bulk buy of tyres. He said he can do a really good discount on them. He also suggested a "drift tyre special" cheap, cheap and nasty apparently. So the plan might be get some numbers together orgaminise a day meet up and go from brisbane up through somerset to crows nest. Put tyres on car Scouts can do a bbq lunch for the day they just need to know what we wants for foods and they tell us how much per head. Then go back to brisbane. They tyre guy said that he can offer a discount for fitting or if you just want the tyre then he can offer a discount on that.

Thoughts ?

Only thing is the tyres would have to be paid in advance as well as the fuds.

Why Scouts? Why not just take an esky and use one of the mountain bbqs? It'd have to be cheaper, and then we could take whatever we want to cook.

Just an idea. Help out the community so to speak.

:down:

Oh ok, charity thing... now I follow.

Let me know when you've sorted it out I guess and we'll see what happens. Any update on dambusters while we're on the topic of drives?

Haven't heard anything as yet. He was off sick for a while.

if i get rego ect in time i will bring her out for a run to icecream

Sickness you will have yours back just as I get my license back :down:

The pig went for its RWC today and it failed spectacularly.

- Seat needs mod plate (Just took it out)

- Zip ties on front guard (Got some proper mechanical fixings in there now)

- Indicators don't self cancel (Need a stock steering wheel to fix this I think)

- Windscreen Chip

- Steering rack boots (Got new ones)

- Tie Rod end RHS (Ordered 2 new ones should be here tomorrow)

- Front brake discs need replacing and rear brake discs need machining (Putting my S13 stuff in)

- Engine oil leak (I'm pretty sure this was just oil spilt when I serviced it)

- Engine has a misfire (Spark plug No. 2 died so that's fixed)

- Window tint bubbled and shit (All of this is taken off now)

- Rear shocks need replacing. (S13 stuff)

So hopefully will be sorted by next weekend :S

f**k thats a decent list! how many days till your license?

f**k thats a decent list! how many days till your license?

Yeah its pretty good. I get it back on the 12th so like 6 days now lol.

Got one corner of the S13 suspension in tonight so only 3 more to go lol. The windscreen n shit will get done during the week.

Anyone got a standard 31 steering wheel I can borrow?

Will they pass it with S13 gear all round? I'm not sure. You'll probably get away with rears as they look pretty much the same, fronts are way different though.

RE steering wheel: Does your boss kit have two pins sticking out the back of it? If so, wrap them with layers of heatshrink or tape, making them thicker, untill they work to cancel the indicators. I find a couple of layers of heatshrink works best

nice one! bet you cant wait to drive again!

Yeah dam straight lol.

Boss kit doesnt have the little pins so f**ked there. The S13 stuff should be ok. It bolts up to all the factory mounts n shit so hopefully won't have any problems. I don't want to buy new rotors for the 31 shit n then put the s13 gear in it's just a waste of money. We'll see how I go.

sorry mang i don't have a stocko wheel. your 32 one might fit though

What are you doing as far as tie rod ends go? With s13 gear the R31 tie rod end castle nut won't go on properly, i imagine that will fail RWC but you never know, depends how close they look I guess. GL :ninja:

Most shops are not specialists in 31's or 13's. SOooooooooooo Chances are you'll pass easily.

You boys hsould just get a mobile roady guy to do it for you. They care not for such discrepancies

Edited by SABBAi

Yeah that's my theory. I doubt this guy would notice a difference in the suspension. If it fails again I'll get a mobile guy out to do it 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.
