126 RCU Represent!

that was bray park hey?

i was at enoggrea barracks attached to 1JSU as our billet squadron...

i went on to join in 1999 as a reserve...

left in 2005 after work not being flexible towards being a reservist...

it was join full time or quit for me...

126, i did NCO's and senior NCO's courses with a few of your guys/ladies...

Kogler, Grieves, Barclay & Chin to name a few...

great times in the late 90's forged some great friendships, best times...

when are you taking delivery of the 35 Col/

still March

cant get a 2011 any sooner, we are at the front of the que at Moorooka Nissan for ours

so we should have one of the first 2011's in Queensland

Turbo changed... little bit of messing around to get her to start but finally got it sorted. It's weird though, doesn't seem to want to make boost easily.

Thanks for the help Dan. After that last hose went back on she started perfectly

That should be an awesome experience dude.

Obviously im yet to drive a 2011, but if its as good as everyone's saying over the older version than im happy I waited...

Wish it was a wee bit cheaper tho, back to baked beans and toast for me for a few years...

Yer Bray Park, Grieves was the boss when i joined. Good times, I joined in 1998, just shows how young i am ;)

1994 til 1999 for me, i still speak to Grieves these days...

We did our CUO's course together also, got photos on my facebook actually...

Good times, F88 syter 300m range, Bushmasters bashing over trees at 60kph like their twigs, ATA course...

loved the condensed milk tubes from the Rat packs... still addicted today...

cadet hey...

airforce cadet, even better... :whistling:

129RCU represent... :D

f**king army. I had an army cunt salute me once (flight sergeant, ffs, it looks the same as your staff sergeant). I tore him a new one. Wasn't even a nOOb, he was a JNCO.

At least you guys weren't as bad as the f**king navy...

Good news, but somethings wrong. That turbo should spool faster than a 33 one.

Yeah that was my thought too. Would it be more intake-related you think?

Or could a leak anywhere in cooler piping slow the spooling down?

exhaust leak before the turbo?

wastegate sticking open?

boost control issue?

Very sure it's not an exhaust leak pre-turbo. Manifold is sweet, all studs and nuts are great, gasket was like-new and I used goo too. Can't hear anything like an obvious loud exhaust leak.

Wastegate..hmmm. I'll see what I can find out.

I'm thinking it's more likely to be intercooler piping loose. I've had a few pop off over the couple of years. Might just undo/redo all when I can be bothered and see if that helps

ok, six screws i cannot get out, to disassemble the sunroof

any final advice before i drill the fark out of them tomorrow afternoon?

currently soaking them in WD40, and will give them a tap tomorrow before I attempt to unscrew them.

if that fails, drilling the fark out of them.

You're tried a big breaker bar?

The other thing is to try and crack them by tightening a little bit.... and then loosening once it's been cracked.

depends what sort of screws and where they are, how big, etc.

If they are actual screws, not a lot you can do really other than drill them out, they are probably rusted in.

If they are bolts and have a socket head, you have a couple of options. Could try a breaker bar as ravi said, rattle gun, spanner + hammer, etc...

Sarp mangs. I had a good weekend. Did pretty much f**k all. Got home from work at 2:30ish and went out and bought COD Black Ops and GT5. After that I barely moved off the couch lol. :thumbsup:

    • 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
    • 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.
