Would this be of any interest, Scotsman?

Maybe SAUVIC could enter a 3 car team?

Perhaps...

So is this event similar to dutton in that it's a total event with lots of sub events?

It sounds like there is two events running simultaneously with an observation rally running with a touring rally.

Do these guys close off any cool road sections or anything like that or is it just drive from one motorkhana to another?

Me too man. Have you got much left in the AO50s? I wanna see you get a 35 if the tyres are still good.

there is a fair amount left on them. i will be shitty if i cant break a 35.... but im just pulling numbers out of my ass.

hopefully it is dry... none of this intermittant crap. i wont complain if it pours all day... winton is SO much fun in the wet.

watching some of their vids it looks like you could blow them away in the gemini :happy:

Great effort guys, congrats on the win. Ryan, top stuff mate, awesome times at PI and HH. Go the S13!!

Thanks mate, just bridging the gap till you get back... any news on yours??

Haha I don't think so, I may be chasing you for a while!

My never-ending-story of a car will hopefully be back over the next few weeks. The engine is out of it again with oil pump dramas, so I've bought a new one and it's being machined and installed at the moment along with a new set of big end bearings. The rest is pretty much done, so it's up to my engine builders to get it back, then bolt it in, tune it and off we go... hopefully... :P

Hey guys,

Just a heads up that all the images are now online - www.atcphotos.com

there was a delay with getting the Lang Lang images on-line due to Holden needing to approve them all first.., but they are alll approved now.

all images are at 800x533pixels in the main galleries, but the Hires section has 1960x1360pixels ( just click on the "FULL SIZE" icon above the image.

Cheers

So when is Winton Ryan? I dont have many lap around the place, i have done more from the passenger seat doign driver training :D But a 36 is 100% possible without all that many laps, so i have my fingers crossed that with some decent weather and 14-16 laps to get dialled in you can get well into the 35s :D COME ON! :)

We need a winton thread. its going to be HUGE! with the way the car handles at the moment god knows how it will actually go... its very different to the way it use to be, im thinkin its because the rear end is now all sweet.

4 weeks, your car could be done and your probably due for some time off... how bout it?

I have no idea, but yeah as of seeing the vids, it doesn't look that hard ( :blink: ). I was thinking of entering the Superfunhappyracingswift, but it's FWD and the GF is not up to navigating speed....yet :laugh: (plus i'll be OS when it's on)

It looks like a Rally event on tarmac....just navigate your way to each special stage, and then complete on motorkhana kinda stages then off to the next location for the next motorkhana stage.

Motorkhana and navigating skills look like the order of the day. :P

But next year i'll be entering....providing the Swift is gone :laugh:

Havent given my car a thought since Dutton, so no clue where it is at and care factor is pretty low since i am going to be OS for some time to come...lol project has copped further commissioning delays so how does November now sound :D. So no way i can make it back to Aus...perhaps when i am up for a new visa but even then now that you are setting some good rwd times i am happy to sit back and let you settle my arguments :)

Ah Troy, just throw me the keys, I'll let you know how deep into the 35's I get.

You know you want to... :D

Jak if you could fit into it then no issues with trusting you with the keys. As for Ryan, no way. The guy has an appetite for breaking rear ends, gearboxes and other wierd stuff. I suppose thats the price for going quick

LOL how quickly we forget a particular round at PI a while ago :D

      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

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. 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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.
