you drive up from syd every thurs night to go sit in fountain plaza carpark? lol is that due to lack of friends in your own area? :P

I came from Canberra last week. I am an ex coastie and used to go all the time before i moved away and even though i only spotted 2 cars that were there last time i was going, it was fun! not as big as it used to be but still the goods.

haha yeah you were only there cause you were obviously in the area LOL - i doubt you drove from ACT just for the thurs night meet on the coast haha

main reason i dont go to erina or gossy meets is cause cops always end up coming and some tool in a commo will always do a burnout and ruin i for the rest of us. same goes for the foreshore in newy on a thurs night.

ive been going to mingas for about 6 yrs and never had an issue, never been pulled over etc.

We've never had problems with cops at Fountain Plaza either, and they know we're there every week. They occasionally drive through, but if they ever stop they usually have a chat to us. If there are any trouble-makers (like one clown who decided he'd do a burnout in his Commodore ute a few years back), then it's usually ONE OF US who reports it to the cops. The owner of the plaza knows we're there and knows we don't cause issues, so it's a win-win situation.

Other side of the coast??? Dude, you're soft! :P

A bunch of us (including myself) regulary come up from Sydney for the meet at Fountain Plaza. :D I still turned up this week even AFTER copping a blown tyre on the F3 on the way up.

Speaking of which, MAJOR thanks to all who offered to help with getting a spare wheel for me so I could get home - the space-saver was creating major issues with the ATTESA system, and the car was getting the shakes even at 40-60km/h. :cheers::thumbsup::cheers:

That was me who said bye and left just after you came over to ask if anyone had spare wheels...

Me and my mate drove past about an hour later and saw you were still there trying to get it fixed up! Must have been a hassle,

good to see you got home

Ahh okay. I was a bit all over the shop, but it's all good now. Managed to get the car home on Friday night, left it at a friends house for the night and got a lift back in the other Stagea that was there - lucky for me the owner lives only 2mins away from me!

Definitely had a bit of luck then :)

Ill come and have a chat to you next time im out there man

thursday night is no more cause or come add ons being smart asses to cops, and smoking their tyres up as they left after being defected, us coastie sau members are discussing new locations so that we may continue to do our weekly meets. which we have done so for the past 7 years

  • 2 weeks later...

ok guys and girls, after talking with harvey norman at erina a few of us coasties are in the process of getting their car park for a few hours a night on a weekly basis on a thursday night

it is just around the corner from fountain plaza and has a dominos pizza across the road.

the car park is bigger and it lit up to some extent. HARVEY NORMAN and local franchaise owners are requesting individual rego info, including your name, rego, type of car, etc etc.

how many cars: 30 in the summer months

how long for: 3hrs max

how many nights a week, etc. : one a night a week, THURSDAY NIGHT.

now some of the add ons we have that hang out with us are NOT sau members, so we can either make them become members to get more members or let them be add ons.

just thought id let you guys and girls in on the loop.

jeff

    • 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.
