Another great DECA down. I don't think I'll ever defrost though, could that have been the coldest DECA ever? Oh well, as usual I've got sunburn to keep my face warm haha

Thanks again to Leon & Shane for the passenger rides.

id say thats the one mate, it does sound really good.

edit: does anyone know what that lancer was running or was it stock?

That belongs to Clive. It's got an Evo motor in it and he's thinking of selling it. Mentioned $7k, pretty good deal :(

Massive thanks to everyone who organized, volunteered, gave me advice, let me ride in their cars, put pepper and coins in my drink, for the yager bombs, for getting us kicked out of the GV before we got in and to my gorgeous girlfriend for bunny hopping the car home so that I wouldn't lose my license to a RBT. :(

I don't know whether I forget how much fun DECA is each time I go, or whether it's getting more enjoyable with each trip but everytime I go I have an absolute blast. I'm beginning to really appreciate the wangs too (the mini in particular) whereas before I just loved the skidpan.

Bring on August.

Big thanks to the SAU Vic club for a ripper day. Easily the best motorsport day ive had in years - twas an Absolute blast!

To the organisers, marshalls and volunteers magnificent effort. To organise and run a motorsport event is no mean feat, to then run it as perfectly as you did is a credit to you all. A BIG thank you.

Was also great to share the day with many like minded people, pleasure to meet you all.

Shame the crazy weather turned the car into a bath tub on the way home. Thankfully i had a bucket and was able to bail as i drove!! lol. Short of jumping into a swimming pool with your clothes on, i dont think ive ever been that cold or wet! Was a miserable end to a sensational day.

Hopefully see you all at the next one!

Cheers

thank you to everybody who played a part in the organising and execution of this event.

excellent layouts, and the roundabout sounded good, but after driving over all those loose stones, and seeing the poles excellent decision to ditch it.

Thank you very much. It means a lot - I tried a few new things, will take some practise to get right every time - but I am pretty stoked with how it came out! :)

Hopefully next time I can be a driver too. ._.

Edit: I should thank you for giving me a reason to take photos! Your car was something else...

All of you guys, crazy beasts. Even if the car wasn't 'all that' - you definitely drove it interestingly.

josh - no worries... you did quite well in some of the battles :)

might of been you, it was a silver r33 series 2, didnt have a black bonnet and wasnt a gtr, but sounded very loud and different note than any other r33 rb25.

edit: could have been the one with the black bonnet i cant 100% remember now, but all i know is it didnt sound like any of the other rb25's

i would guess it was ssxricho's 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

      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.
