In light of recent comments regarding the paucity of social meets, i thought it'd be a good time to post one up for those of us in the north east (and others who are keen)

DATE: Tuesday March 16

TIME: 8pm

PLACE: The Water Tunnel Carwash, Cnr Fitzsimons Lane and Porter St, Templestowe CLICK for google map

BRING: Car, buckets / washing paraphernalia, gold coins for carwash, bitches etc

For those not from the area, the 'apple peel' bit refers to a large, unsightly sculpture atop the roundabout on the corner:

When you see this monstrosity, you aren't far away :D

OTHER INFO: Going east along Porter St leads to Warrandyte, where there are some nice windy roads. So if anyone is keen for a bit of a squirt afterwards, it's fairly convenient.

Get on it.

Great idea Ric, I'll be in for this. Haven't met anyone from here yet!

I'll bring my camera, maybe after everyone is done washing we can set up the cars in the professional wash area for a group photo.

Yeah I think he leaves by 4 or 5pm.

Is the new windshield in yet? Good luck with it all! Maybe see you there :)

Yeah man!

Windscreen is in.

Got an assessment tomorrow with the panel beaters, Graeme Cuthbert Automotive Prestige Repairs, in Box Hill.

Hope the dents in my bonnet, roof and front panels are not all that sever and should not take too long.

Or I can roll in my Corolla to the car wash.

Watch out for my 4A-C POWAH!

I will Touge run you in your R34 GTR on Heidelberg Warrandyte Rd. / Newmans Rd. / Porter St. to the car wash!

Ah damn it's not an AE86 :(

I'll come down to meet some more people :P

More GTR buddies to meet.

:)

Good initiative man...I'll come along provided I have my car on me (also might be in panel beaters for hail damage).

How bad is your's Birds?

the owner's gallardo is never there outside of business hours unfortunately :D neither is the m5, e63, 911 etc etc i see there most days

The owner has that many cars?

Damn, I need to own a carwash.

Oops, scratch me on this one, SAU Vic monthly general meeting falls on the same night.

My hail damage is a few (15-20) dints on the roof and bonnet, couple on fenders. Not huge but enough to spoil the car that's for sure. I read about your damage...bad luck brother :(

The owner came up to me when I went there once to wash. He said he used to own an R34 GTR as well haha.. what are the chances I can go on the same path as him :(

Hah!

You can work something out...

The sign at that carwash says no bucket washing at all.

I think the chances of the owner being there at that time is slim.. unless there's some high tech surveillance system with automatic bucket detection lol.

I'm not sure of their policy on buckets.. i always go when it's not busy so it doesn't matter.

I don't think there will be too many people there on a tuesday evening, so we should be fine

:down:

True that!

Well I guess the owner wants every dollar in the car wash, so you use the foam brush and high pressure hose... The Gallardo ain't cheap to run... :blink:

BTW I can make the car wash meet with the GTR as my assessment on my car from Just Cars is not till the Friday.

Haha that's in slight contrast to the owner of Sparkling Carwash on Burwood Highway where it says you can use buckets when it's quiet.. the owner there always comes in an X5 haha.

Awesome :down: be good to see your car!

    • 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.
