Thanks for organising Matt, had mad fun and it was great to catch up with quite a few of you guys as well as meet some new faces.

Terry and I also had a nice "mini cruise" with Sean, Woodsy, Owen and Patrick on the way back up North.

I've taken a few pics which I'll also upload later.

oh I almost got taken out by some dumb blonde Green P plater in a white junkbox... i was practically beside her when she thought it would be a good idea to get into the left lane the look on her face was priceless but many bricks were passed into my underpants...

Thanks to Matt for organising it, see you at the next cruise probably! Had a great day, got half my face sunburnt - it's a great look, as well as my arm..

Could you have guessed my passenger who was taking most of the photos was a bit of a fan of Terry's GTR? wub.gif

didnt catch up with the main group till it got to the pie shop thanks to a dodgy GPS and a sleepy gf but was great to see everyone there even if table space and shyness prevented me from getting to know everyone but it was good to be able to put a few more faces to forum names and then join them for the final leg.

unfo' we were all held up by a rather twee couple in a little Bimmer on the way down the mountain but at least the low speeds and hairpin corners allowed me to glance back and see the R34's in all their glory as they navigated the tricky terrain.

more calories were consumed in Berry before everyone went their separate ways and we almost had a run in with a VL club who looked even more out of place than we did in the boutiquey tourist town.

and oh yeah mini cruise part way home was awesome, wish i had some video of me catching up to you guys on that inside lane as i swept down from the mountain, glorious views out to the ocean in the background and even better views of all that shiny JDM metal in front of me getting closer and closer..perfect.

wanted to stretch the cruise out but i can sit on ten under the limit for only so long :P

dont know how u batch resize all your pics to fit in here but lazy ole me just did a select all upload to fbook and heres the link..

Lot's of terrific Pics! Fantastic pics! And many thanks for comments - gratefully for my car and not for me...

...because I apologise for being late - and therefore not as sociable as I usually am.

I also apologise for missing the Bulli Pass turnoff and leading some of you the wrong way into a precarious U-Turn > SH!T

Asian driver in me - LOL. Oh yeah, I nearly rear-ended a bikie on turn 6 of Mac Pass. Oh well - be warned, next time!

And in case you're having trouble holding your tongue about a giant rear wing being owned by a 60 yr old, may I say this...

one person here on SAU and also another on Prelude Australia would love to take that C/F rear wing off me - lol

Many thanks to Matt for putting this on, especially when...

* his own car is in pieces

* those pieces are at someone else's garage

* he can't enjoy driving

Great to drive a great road with my son Matt + enjoy company with Owen, Owen, Matt, David, Patrick, Andrew, Micael, Brian, Genelle, Sean, Steve-0, Indi and others I met at the Pie Shop.

I think we need the give the Pie Shop facia a new coat of paint with R32/R33/R34 pics all over it!

    • 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. 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.
    • 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.
