Import QFM pads :(

Is there any issues with rebonded ones seperating?

We had a pit under a 4car garage of a house i lived in when i was little when we came back from NZ, sadly, i was too young to have a car and make use of it... suprised more people dont do them over here.

Yeah we had one in Czech in the basement, previous owner was a mechanic. Havn't really seen it in any houses in Aus.

the scary thing is though, it looks like it would really really hurt if you fell in one, some of them are deep as! and most of the ones i have seen have had sharp objects stored in there... ie car parts or old workshop doors etc etc

i asked my friend when we were at his friends workshop if anyone has ever fallen in there and he said that one of his friends fell into this pit but it was really funny because there was a few litres of paint being stored down there and he fell into the paint and got really messy lol

Dude this is abit left field, how did you go about getting your visa ect? I've been to Europe a few times and that side of town is pretty strict with guests. I reckon it's a unreal idea though@!

Are there any rules associated with what types of cars you can import and register? Or is it just find a car that starts.

Given the story about the cops, sounds like it's a drivers paradise.. or they've never seen a skyline and haven't had time to work out how to make money from burnouts.

you can import anything and everything and drive it. all you do is pay a small tax on the car. depending how many cc the engine is on how much tax you pay. There are a few skylines here, probly around 25 or 30 i believe.

I just finished dynoing my car for the drag racing tomorrow, made 475rwhp at 22psi which aint too bad i guess with the side pipe on. I was driving it to the race track to do some test runs (cant really call it a track its like a goat track with grass growing out of it and everything) i could only manage a 12.6 considering it was freezing cold and the track was very cold as well this aint too bad i guess.

anyway was driving home with the side pipe on, i would have passed 20 coppers they just looked at me and did not give a shit. when i was comming home from the track one copper even pulled me over. he did not say anything about the side pipe and how loud the car was with rotary idle on.. he just checked my passport and let me go.

I never imagined i could drive my car on the street with the side pipe and get away with it! if anyone has heard my car with the side pipe at power cruise this year then they would know how loud it is :P

or the comments from summernats, has it got a V8 in it? :P

Nice work. I imagine you'll get a bunch of new customers. BTW, how's the business side of it going? Making any money yet?

We open on Sunday, workshop is just about finished

Nice of you to give them a head start. ;)

PS why is the sky so hazy.....nuclear fallout I suspect :);):(

Yeah, that road is sooo bad for racing, about 200 meters or less after the finish line is a corner and I had to brake very very hard to avoid crashing at 200 km/h.

The road is soo bad that there was cracks all over it with grass growing out of them, there was cow shit all over the track which made it slippery and there was humps in the road where i would lose traction at high speeds!! in one of the videos you can hear the car going over the humps.

lol, you mean Chernobyl ? hhahaha that was like 23 years ago??? and the fall out was in Ukraine and Balarus and some went other western Europe. There are no Nuclear power plants here.. they use the rivers for hyrdo

Bloody cheaters, importing cars and racers to win the comp!

Rotary idle is sick, that is all...

Yeah, there were quite allot of supporters, but then there were the guys who hated the idea that some Australian comes and kick's their ass.

Kinda sucks that I was only up against 4wd Jap cars, any other RWD would not have had a chance to win unless it has lots of hp. i only had about 450 rwhp for the day.

yeah, no one here has ever seen a car accelerate as fast as my car once i got traction. my friends were telling me about the comments from some people, they were thinking the car had a jet engine on board lol

ahh i see...and they were 4wd.

you should have said "its powered by a small plutonium reactor"

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • 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.
