Christmas is the busiest time of the year for me as I work in hospitality....have been trying to get motivated to do car stuff but the 11 hour shifts 6 days a week are not making life any easier....

I have lots of tasks and little projects lined up.....but have to find the time to get started on them...and by the looks of it....not much is going to happen before new years.

This morning had other plans for me though....I woke up three hours earlier than I usually do and I had some spare time so decided to get my wiper blades changed - noticed the back one had become frayed and was "hanging" behind when the wiper was in use. This should explain what I mean

Anyways..I changed them this morning and now have a new set of wiper blades :) Purposely left them a little longer than the last ones....so hopefully more of my windscreen will get cleaned..I remember having cut the front left extra short by accident last time round.

Also might quickly jot down some of the tasks that I have in mind...will tick them off slowly over the next few weeks

1. Paint calipers black and NISSAN writing in a nice red.....(should set off the gold and silver rims nicely and look a lot "healthier" than the grey old look they presently display)

2. Finish the window trims....(have left them sanded halfway....really need to get to this asap)

3. Build a ramp....and get the front of my car up...so that I can work on getting black mesh in front of the intercooler....(to make the front of the car look clean and stealthy)

4. Wrap a few hoses and fabricate a turbo shield.....(before I start melting stuff)

5. Get my rear bar heat proofed (just around the exhaust tip - flames look cool....but fire is HOT yes.gif)

6. Paint bits in the engine bay

7. Look into the sourcing of my new rims tongue.gif

Just a heads up..............

Seems like a few people are having this problem (judging by the number or "reposts")

So if anyone tries to post in this thread...there is an error message that pops up when you click post....and it appears that your post has failed......dont worry..it usually comes through on the first go..........its strange (and annoying) and it happens to me all the time as well....just click forums or another of the tabs on top like I do after you click post and see the error message and then re-navigate to this page and you should see your post here yes.gif

and thanks.gif Lachlan

Today was another productive day.....

Went to Brendan's place for the day.....spent heaps of time chatting about car stuff as usual...had an awesome steak sandwich at the pub nearby...and trial fitted some wheels nyaanyaa.gif

Now part of the decision to change my rims was because of the fact that my current ones are 17 inches...I personally reckon they look too small and feel 18 inch rims are the sweet spot for skylines. Also mine have a decent offset but I have always wanted to run spacers just to get a more aggressive look. Brendo happens to have a very similar style to mine...but in 18s. They are shadow chrome (silver shade) or something like that...cant remember what he told me now...

SO....my options are...

1. Buy the rims from him and paint the middles gold like my current ones....

Advantages: Bigger dish on his ones....actual dish on the fronts as well....broader rims = wider tyres = I love the look from the back...no gutter rash on left hand side rims like mine.

Disadvantages: The offset on his are actually weaker..so will definitely have to run bolt on spacers

2. Buy the Te37s in Matte or Satin black

Advantages: I will finally have my much awaited black on black look...I can choose my offset and rim size etc

Disadvantages: Money honey

Opinions and suggestions welcome thanks.gif

Few pics to help people make a decision

What his look like on my car (note: I will be changing the tyre profile...I like the meaty nascar look...so need more "tyre" on the rears)

i think the silver rims look awesome. imho i really dont like the gold/silver ones you have at all. te37's are amazeballs, but if the silver ones you mate has can be bought at a sweet price, i say do it!! and PLEASE dont paint any part of them gold.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      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.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
