what time do i be at your place to pickup your car?? :D

nah hope youre feeling better soon mate. this flu shit is going around. ive been waking up the last few days with a bad sore throat, and having it all day. i CANT afford to take more time off work. but i found an easy solution for the sore throat, before bed, gargle vodka. but dont spit it out, thats a waste, drink it! then youll fall asleep better :) it worked for me last night, i think ill keep doing it till im better hahah

oh yeh i might try that, will have to raid the missus's vodka stash....yeh i havent had the flu in years and years and years so its a real c-unit when you get it....

still soldiering on though, havent had a sick day since 2005, and that was to have some of my intestines removed, so it kinda warranted it....

Nickkkkkkkk do another update list....

Update what?

OK, just about everyone is coming, except maybe Scott due to ice hockey and/or his hearse-hating girlfriend.

Address: 1 Leeds St, Rhodes (Google Map HERE)

Time: 3pm onwards - no idea on finishing time as yet, we'll just go with the flow on that or wait until Jetwreck kicks us out...

OK, does anyone, by chance, have a small portable BBQ that they can bring along? Seeing as we may be there for quite a while, it might be handy to have some food available as well as the coffee van/cart that we're hoping to obtain. The shopping centre is only 3mins away, so that is another (last resort) option, but if we can avoid a run to the shops it might make things easier for all.

Dang, didn't we invite the guy with the gas stove in the back of his stag? :laugh:

if your bringing anything like that let us know if you want me and the wife to bring anything down, might ask her if she wants to make a cake for our 1st meeting. but she will probably slap me, i know my place lol.

I like how he just volunteers my services, don't you?? lol

We don't have a portable BBQ (PS: great idea though!!), but are happy to pick up something if we're having a bbq, etc.

Oh well, if we can't get a BBQ there, we'll have to make sure we can order a coffee/snacks van so we can all ride on a caffeine and sugar fix.

An extra bonus of having this on this Sunday is that it's a long weekend! :)

Nick i do have a little portable bbq, it takes a little while (a long while) to heat up, and might not heat up evenly, but

at the end of the day it heats up, i can try bring that? It isnt very big though, it would still be alright to crank some

sausages on. Gas bottle would need to be supplied though....

Tell her she has to make a cake in the shape of a stagea....and seeing as there are series 1 and series 2 c34's,

as well as m35's, that means she has to make at least 3 cakes....get on her case she only has a few days....

    • 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.
