It was a good display... good effort and looooots of people... but next time.. might be a good idea to have paramedics and fire extinguishers on stand by,... if dave was seriously hurt in the R32 4 door... it would have taken a f**ckn long time to get him to a hospital.. just a thought..,.

someone rolled it!?!? .... that is not good, hope no one was hurt..any pics of the car after?

Also someone went into the crowd?

Hmm I think may need to do a safety review by the sounds of it, maybe a few more barrier's in front of the crowd but far enough away from the track so the cars dont hit it if its only a minor spin off.

Also I agree that there should be atleast paramedic's there, and maybe a few volunteers from the local CFS....it sounds like these events are really taking off and I cant wait for the next one in 4 or so months time.. it would be a shame to see the event lost due to someone getting seriously injured or killed.

Just my thoughts,

Rob.

I was quite impressed by the commodores actually.. they did suprisingly well, and Simon in his NA 4AGE AE86.

Although, I'd rather see denzo drift that saliva instead of doing a burnout and blowing it up, cos we've all seen tuff burnouts in our day...really didn't do it for me

Was run much better this time compared to last time, 5 on the track @ once is a bit of a task for a lot of amateur drifters on such a small circuit and there were a lot of near misses too.

I had a ball, and I wore Suncream :)

Yes will have to look at the safety thing a bit more in future. No matter how many times i told the Drivers to take it easy in the first and last Corners they didnt listen. The excitement must get to them?? Think I might have to pull some of them off the Track next time if they dont listen to the first warning. It would be a shame if someone got hurt .

How many times did I also have to stop the meet because of People hanging their Legs over the barriers. After JJ spun off and the rear of his Car hit the wall my heart was pounding everytime I say someone with their legs over.

For those who are interested this site has a bit about the meet also

im so ****en sunburnt. Dammit.

Also there will always be a problem with safety. The majority of the crowd wer idiots that wouldnt listen to what the organisers where trying to tell them. Also i think some of the drivers on track wer idiots, and driving stupidly at certain corners (refer JMS). But all in all it was a excellent day.

Steve: Yes it was a red one, damn clean too!! Had a vented bonnet, and yes maybe it had a black roof too. Not sure about the widebody kit, but the guards did look like they were flared. If it was a widebody, it wasn't wide enough cos about 1" of the rims/tyres were sticking out from the side of the car (when viewed from the front). Looked damn cool like that nonetheless. It's tyres were really stretched over the rims, in true drift style :rofl: The owner popped the bonnet, had some good mods. Looked like a custom plenum, pipework and low mount turbo from what I could see. Turbo looked decent sized too. Had a HUGE intercooler at the front too :D

Off the topic, I saw a damn funny car on the day. Well, it looked funny to me...but may look wicked to other people. It was a silver lancer GSR, with twin cannon mufflers...but the mufflers were separate and one was bigger than the other? I love twin cannon mufflers, but if they are the same size. Not when they are different sized. One of my friends said maybe the smaller muffler was for the external wastegate. Uhuh... ;) It just looked kinda strange to me, that's all. But each to their own. Different people have different taste.

      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.

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

      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.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
