I guess so, Were they part of the "Other Team"? You know when they talk of Touring car racing of early last decade they use the phrase,

"There were the Skylines and then there was everyone else"

Haha, thats pretty funny. I've lived in Melbourne for all of my 26 years and not once have I been to Thomastown, Lalor,Epping or Mill Park. Like I said, I have no idea where any of them even are.

But yeah, I had no idea about anything to do with VLs. too young I spose

I caught the car bug from an Alpina C2 BMW. Then when I discovered Skylines that was it for me. There were suddenly no other cars which interested me. Except perhaps the Supra.

and if all else fails its a good old Exa, or a rajab tuned sumfinorother.

But seriously the number of worked cars to male ratio is exceptionally high.

For example, we're always there on sundays near edgars rd quix (nex to tha supamarket) workin on cars n shit, and every car that goes by that's dun up slows down hasa look, sometimes has a chat, and sometimes u get the occasional good lookin chick walk by and have a chat too... is all good fun.

The scene is well n turely there in thomo/epping... it just needs to get organised... like a Northsyeeeeed SAU VIC :D

yeah, there are JETs driving around everywhere these days.

but my point is that when the VLs were dominating the streets, there was plenty of drag, thrashing & burnout action back then but now everyone only likes to look good while driving in their jap import with big 5" chrome exhaust tip ;-)

Funky,

are u talking about Gladstone st? if so, i always drive past when going home from Bi-Lo.

    • 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.
