I'd like to bash him for all the rude comments he makes.

No seriously, his head is made of mild steel rather than alluminium so it wont get bigger if we praise him. I find it's because at 3.258495 Litres you get optimum head efficiency and any more is a waste of time.

:(

I Propose a SAU Hall of Fame for the likes of Sydney Kid and others. Newbies will be able to tell those who have technical knowledge from the likes of me and others. (If they don't notice that his replies are well thought out, detailed and answers your question!)

Thanks for all the help!

Hahaha Rev, I think that you'll find most "traditional" older tuners don't like nitrous, especially those with a circuit background :P

I think it's great to have people like SKid on the forums, as they not only have experience to assist and help people avoid making mistakes but are also willing to share their info.

John Munro, Mario, ylwgtr and anyone who contributes their automotive experience also fall into the same boat.

I can't agree more.

Always happy to give advice. It's a VERY rare thing to have someone with such knowledge that is willing to freely give advice.

I know of a heap of tuners/mechanics that would say "I know how to do it, but it's a trade secret".

Plus he likes Jack Daniels, so he must be an alright bloke :P

Yes i agree 100% with everyone, ur knowledge on modifications and things in general is much appreciated by all i beleive. Its good to see that most of ur replies go into great detail also and not just 1 or 2 lines. I sent u a pm recently thanking u. 2 cheers from me mate

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened 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.

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.
