I'm very keen, but I'm little worried about a very small oil leak I have (about 3 drops of engine oil every time I park).

I'll call the track tomorrow and see what they say, if its no worries, I'll pay tomorrow.

highly unlikly youll pass scruteneering at the start of the day :(

you still got 10 days, to fix it up mate, cant see where its coming from????

it may be 3 drops now but runninf at max temp could spit the seal right out and make it 3 litres and delay the fun for probly an hour.

its lots of fun mate i reccomend fixing it up and coming along :D

I would speak to the guys here running the day. It's not the track that will check your car its the SAU scrutineers.

SAU does the scruitineering on the cars. You'd be surprised that when you go to a speed off the streets day (or some other clubs) scruitneering works on an "HONOR" system. Personally, I have great peace of mind that the SAU boys look over the cars to ensure it is basically mechanically sound.

(Back on topic)

Have a look where it is coming from under the car. Might just be a drain plug washer or something simple. A few drops during a whole day of sitting isn't really too much bother from a scruitineering point of view, but if we look under your car and the whole underside is coated in oil then we probably won't give you a pass.

Mechanically you are responsible for your own car so you have to appease your own peace of mind if it is going to be ok.

Oh, and Martin there's no timing so we just put the cars into groups (a colored sticker on your car) there are no car numbers so run what ever you like :).

My father and I have pulled half the engine apart trying to fix the leak.

We've replaced all sorts of seals and shit trying to find it, no dice. 

I've already done a track day with the car and it was fine, just the same few drops of oil every time we came in.  

It really is just a few drops, I don't need to top it up between oil changes. And I won't have time to pull it apart again before the track day.

(The car is mechanically sound anyway, I use it every day for work, not the least bit worried about this damaging it)  

Anyway, cheers for the feedback.

Knowing how little oil is coming out of it, do you think I'd get knocked back?  

Again, thanks for the very helpful feedback

I'll be coming. First time on Wakie with the 4 Door, so we will see how 'Sonic the Skyline' goes. See if he can go as hard as the old L98. Looking forward to meeting you guys there. I'll send in my form on tuesday. Paid for my NSW club membership today.

Cheers,

James

      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

      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.
