So those who have water craft on here, who do you use for insurance and whats the sorta cost?

i had my 18 ft nerues with sgic valued at $ 25g and i cost about 550 a yr from memory i did it at the boat show once the 25g was broken down into parts ie so much for the boat and so much for the trailer and so much for the engine .

i think club marine is another populer one as well

this is somewhat problematic.

went to fit my braided lines just now, fronts went in without a hitch, but i found a few rather unpleasant surprises out back...

drivers side, you cant really see it, but the nut there is completely rounded.

passenger side aint much better, its slightly rounded as well. oh joy of joys.

im guessing that at some point in the cars history, its needed new rear brake lines, and the "mechanic" that did it was actually a neanderthal and used a hammer and a club to undo to the lines.

so i guess ill be spending today hunting down a few new hard lines.

You would be surprised...almost all of mine are similar to that, hence why i haven't had the braided lines installed yet, purely because the bolts wouldn't undo, and began to round off.

Anyone able to help me out? Need someone to go to JIS, buy me some R33 Tie Rod Ends - $175, and meet me somewhere, ie vilis, and i shall pay you back. I need the suckers in my hand by Saturday morning. If you are able to help out, send my mobile an sms on 0411876139 with your name and number and i shall call you back.

Edit: If they aren't in my hands by Saturday Morning, i will most likely be unable to attend the track day...there is also $50 in it for who ever does collect them for me.

Boost down to JIS yourself on Saturday morning? Leave early enough to be down there at like 8am when they open? Leave yourself all day to put them in

Wise Choice Tyres & More at Lonsdale are installing them, along with new rear tyres and front wheel alignment. I then need to get to work at 9am at Noarlunga.

What's the highest oil temp you can reach before it's justified to change the oil due to it breaking down?

In the extreme heat going up extreme hills (extreme... f**k yeah), my oil temp eaches about 105... but that's only in rare cases.

Most of the time it sits below 90... usually 80.

mine are like that

have to use a multigripper unit to grab them, one of the real good ones that claim to grip anything.

in fact, Im going to try to take the front r32 gtst rotors/calipers/a1rm pads and braided lines OFF again, same with stagea, and install the r32 gtst fronts to the stagea

I do NOT want to run bendix pads with 2-pots at the track. 40mins = no pads.

just that I AM a neanderthal with no knees

Ive been in the JMW GTR when its getting severe punishment and it sits on like 60 lol.

Brendan, want another set of R32 GTST 4 Pots??

Got discs and calipers.

cheers, discs are all good, got spares.

put the r32 gtr calipers fron the sedan onto the stagea just now.

probably sell the stagea calipers and grab some r32's to replace the track cars

so, the stag has 4-pots now and new a1rm track pads, got a spare set too. going to test drive now and bedin.

      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.
