for some reason this picture didnt upload earlier.....

and thanks mate ^^^ ...this thread is getting loooong !! Bit boring though now because there has'nt been any real big stuff to report....lots of plans though in the near future...so my fingers and toes are crossed !!

So this morning while I was going through some performance imports mags I came across this.................................

And I wanted to do something similar too.............so I went to the shops and could not find a black sweatband so went to red dot and bought three pairs of black socks (will use the other two pairs for work)...and began to do some "art and craft"............

Result............

My attention has now been diverted to the engine bay...............and since I don't want to spend any big bucks at the moment.....I have been doing this...................

Boring old plastic washer bottle...............

Did some detailing of the "bunky".........................and then I bought some high temp paint for my exhaust piping.

The front bar and half the bonnet has not yet been done in this picture...........it is surprising what a little bit of time, effort and average levels of detailing skill can achieve. I know this is a terrible picture and you probably cannot really tell any difference unless you look very carefully but a little bit of effort is all it took and man this thing is shining now !!

Then moved on to my car again...........

Tried to get the exhaust off....but when I realized that it was beyond me I decided to give it a shot and paint it on the car itself.......made sure I had newspaper ontop of it as I didnt want other bits to get sprayed too and sprayed the living hell out of it with degreaser first and just went in with the high temp black....could not be bothered with sanding down / prep and all that jazz...it cannot even be seen !!

This is as high as I can get the car at the moment (without axle stands)...so had to make do.

Came up pretty well I thought judging by the general lack of attention to detail and half arsed effort...going to let it idle for a while and then turn off tmrw.....and then take it for a short run to and from work so hopefully the paint will cure and wont peel....intercooler piping is still perfect so hopefully it lives up to its reputation and wont too.

That is the weld mark from when "kermit" modified my exhaust so that it had less angle and didnt burn a hole through my rear bar.

OH and that looks SOOO much better than the rest of the exhaust at the moment !!

So...............pulled the sunshade thingo down the other morning when I couldnt see a thing because of the blooming glare and thought to myself.....there is a great discovery to be unraveled here..........hahahaa.....no I didnt...I thought.....man this is boring !!

Seeeeeeee what I mean...

20121230_194251_zpsd0d44584.jpg

So I pulled out some of the left over leather trim that I had..............

    • 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. 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.
