just for the Shiggles :laugh:

but yeah it's so damn close on colour and it's sporting the same front bar too.

Wish I had my engine out when I resprayed it. looking at how good this one is :/

Lulz were had.

Now to start saving Mwahaha

Tokyo Auto Salon

Checked the head tension today, all good.

Found a small hose had come off, the tiny one under the throttle body. could be my boost problem.

Made a tool for the head bolts, very simple, just chopped a 10mm allen key.

Pic wont load.... anyway i ended up with a 10mm hex shaft and just used a 10mm socket on the torque wrench.

i just finished building one that really couldnt be registered and sold it and bought a WRX as a fun daily with the R33 being a track car seeing as it would cost me a little to much than i would like to get it re registered..........

But now i am considering selling it as the wife is getting a little fed up with the car yard I call a front lawn.

Most I have ever put in mine is about the same at 1.57 a litre. Too close to the bottom to think about it :(

Being $1.71 a litre at the moment it would cost from near empty close to $120

Be nice to go back to a dollar a litre

Nostalga break

I'm so old, when I started pumping fuel it was about 11c-14c a litre.

Shoulda heard people whinge then - Bahahaha

and that paid my wages to check oil, water, tyres, pump fuel and clean windscreens as well as rent on the site and the fuel plus the profit for the owner - WTF!

Nothing like a public holiday for plenty of time to work on the car :)

Just spent this morning cleaning out the afm because I think she's running a little rich. Afm was nice and black and whatnot. Sprayed her out with some brake cleaner and its looking brand new :)

Removed the manual bleed boost controller and set up the standard system so that I can pass my second rego inspection :)

And now to get started on tightening the right handbrake.. 5 minutes in, calipers off now for the rotor.. Which requires getting off that big ass 36mm nut. Turns out biggest we've got here is 32, biggest everyone we have contacted has 32. Supercheap only sells up to 32 and nothing else is open on a public holiday.. Why nissan why!! Still waiting to hear back from a few people about sockets. But all in all, been a not too bad day..

    • 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.
    • 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.
