serious!!??

everyone raves about him, thought they are suppose to be good?

He must have a warranty on his work?

I will tell you who doesnt rave about him....THIS GUY *points at self* and i wouldnt hold out hope of the warranty sticking either.

warrentee is sticking at this stage, even though i bought it 2.5yrs ago. it sat on the shelf as i had some personal issues that stoped me from moving forward with my 25-30build.

im not blaming anyone at this stage, i have been completly happy with the workshop that did my engine install ect. and i was on the phone to jim (for a long time) and i was explaining to him that i just want to know "why" this has happened and what caused it, his clutchs are the best, no doubts, ifs or buts. However mine failed, for all we know the front seal on the gearbox (which i hope was replaced) leaked and put oil on the clutch, in turn no matter what clutch i had in there would of been slipping.

I'll post photo's when i get it out of the car...

anyway, comment in my build thread, not in here lol :P

yeh got it, interesting read, without much of a conclusion....

mine will be out monday to see what happend, in my frustration of the clutch dieing i bought another car... lol. *facepalm*

hope to have it back in a week. ill be posting pics of the clutch ect on my build thread for you to see.

anyways, back on topic :whistling:

Don't think anyone went last week. I had to bail on it with uni assignments piling up. There is a southside meet this week which should have a fair few cars attending. I was thinking if anyone else is interested maybe we can go for a cruise to that meet? We can go out the back way avoid the majority of highways and enjoy some mountain roads then hit up the southside meet grab a feed and head home. Anyone else keen?

I don't think this has run for awhile. I've been busy with work and going up to the Southside meet every fortnight. Not sure if anyone has carried this on most likely it has just died. I'm moving to Brisbane next week so I won't be attending any more.

Yeah it died haha,

Have you finished your degree?

I just finished my last exams, hopefully if it all went well then I'll finally be graduating!

If I get the Goldy meet going again and you're still going to the southside meet then we should organise a meet halfway next year or something similar?

Hopefully CJ will have his 32 up and running again by then!

    • 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.
