yeah well aware of that! =) just confirming that i can actually stick with what i am using.

I know different materials require different coolant to avoid corrosion. blah blah blah.. :)

just not sure if stock one=steel, and new china one=aluminium , thus different coolant needed.

If you do wish to change types (clolour) then have it professionally pressure flushed first.

This^^^

Stock is Brass I believe. The guys at Gibbs in Belco did mine (Natrad) and put in the coolant they deemed appropriate.

They also did a check for stray current to avoid Electrolysis eating away at my Aluminiums.

I had green before with stock Radiator (which was leaking) and Now I have red. It's pretty.

I use Tectaloy 100 which is green and pre-mixed. Also did a fair bit of research before selecting this one. It was between the Nulon and Tectaloy.

With the Alloy rad etc... I use green. No brass monkeys in my system - Tee Hee.

Nissan are now using Blue - FTW

Some are just died because it differentiates between GM, Toyota, Europee'n and US cars.

There is Red, Green, Orange, Yellow, Brown and now Blue.

They used to colour them for a reason. 3 different types - Oats, Hoats and another one.

Now it's all just pretty *rainbow*

Put the Foz in for rego inspection. Failed.....fog lights not working!

Checked all fuses just now and they are all fine. Checked the connectors to the actual fog light switch and one fell off quite easily, hoping that is what the issue is.

I couldnt get it back on. Have to pull bottom half of dash off to get to ot and cant be bothered tonight. will do it after work tomorrow.

Passed my rego inspection check up this morning! Woot!! :woot: After a decent sized list of small things to fix up:

  • headlight aim
  • atmospheric blow off valve
  • boost gauge within head impact zone
  • pod filter loose
  • manual boost controller/bleed valve
  • secure thermo fan
  • right side handbrake didnt work
  • wheels too wide

Big thanks to Rob for lending me some rims to get through the inspection, and a photo of them on the car was requested ;)

YAY! its always good to be allowed to drive on the road..

So are you not allowed to have manual boost controller/bleed valve in ACT? Is SA them same?

I'm about to install one soon, and moving to Adelaide shortly after, do i need to remove it before changing to SA rego?

Yeah im not 100% sure on the subject but this is what I think sounds about right from doing a lot of research. If you want to control the boost it has to be done from inside the cabin, but you cant have any air, fluid or gas (apart from air vents) passing through the firewall.. So to stop all the smart arses placing their bleed valve inside the cabin haha, and I think this is Australia wide. Someone feel free to correct me as im not 100% sure..

If you do install it I would just change it back to stock for the inspection. Only a 5 minute job once you know what you're doing.

Not a Pulsar has a pretty good setup, could probably talk to him about how he controls his boost.

    • 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.
