yeh, parhaps i should explain myself.... tried to adjust the attitude of car mid corner and touched brakes a little too hard.....therefore went into a spin.... ask Neil for more info... he had front row seats to the whole shebang

Nick, book yourself in for the 17th of July, we are going to hit Q.R. A great place to learn about car control at high speed with little fear of hitting anything. Plenty of notice. Save those $$$ and get some new tyres! Skidpan day should be in August, don't miss that either. Tip of the day: Never hit the brakes hard mid corner unless you have already passed the point of no return and are just trying to minimise the damage by trying to slow up a bit.

Thanks for the sage words Jason. Yeh it was a little hairy and thank god i didnt hit anything or anyone..... new tyres went on today (brand new this time). Looks like time to save the pennies and sign up for QR.... where do i sign up speaking of which :confused:

Yes Grasshopper.

I am going to put up a proper post for it in the events section in the next few days try build a little interest. It will have all the necessary info, links and stuff.

hmmm pan sounds fun.... what happens at a pan anyway?? all i know is people go nuts and drive over water+diesel.... :confused:

Yeah, you go nuts but with water and diesel it means everything happens in slow motion so you should learn better steering control/throttle control. It hasn't helped me yet, I spend too much time last time facing the wrong way!

Yes i know lots about facing the wrong way... lol.. last night on that turn i ended up looking at Neil thru the passenger side window...lol

as am i man, as am i

worse was i actually was sitting there watching

had to leave after half a day, couldnt take it anymore :)

Yeah John sent me a PM offering me a lift, but I had to decline as I new watching would make me a little agro. Especially with no way home, stuck there forced to watch.

    • 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.
    • 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.
