Booked the SkyWagon in for Rego re-inspect and wheel alignment for Wednesday...

Reattached the Passengers Rear view mirror after doing the Superglue Repairs to the mounts.

Also Received and installed a Brand New Clutch Fan in SkyWagon. Much Quieter now. :D

Very glad I did this as on Removal of the old fan, I discovered that there are cracks at the base of every single blade.

Just a matter of time before she went kablamo!!! :O

Started the stripping down.

Skirts, pods, doortrims, mirrors, doorsills and seal gone.

Got to take off the rear bar and wing, then i can wash everything.

Im going to try black in the doorgaps and under the boot, its already under the bonnet and in the engine bay.

That way i dont have to do so many coats where its going to be a pain, eliminate runs, also i can leave the doors, bonnet and boot on.

Also all the "utility areas" like in the wheel arches and underneath will be black.

"Raceday" bits will also be black: vented bonnet and guards, diffusers (gotta make em first) and a big wing.

Ps: Thats like my old Celica, thanks Hotwheels.

same colour too.

did some brain surgery on my speakers ( Trojan broke them ) they are workingnow, tho cant put them in the parcel shelf, any ideas? maybe fiberglass them in the boot somewhere with the sub?

just made a template for putting the speakers on the battery cover thing, worked well... until I put the speakers in not knowing that the shelf for the battery is a lot higher then I thought.... turned out the speakers wont go there

<br /><br />Your in luck I have a magnetic snapon tool used for removing the collets.I used it when I was changing the stem seals makes it easy.<br /><br />Also with the nitto head drain have you tapped it into the Welsh plug or removed it completely. Are you locating the drain pipe to the exhaust side of the sump or intake side.? Did you also put the restrictor on the block.

The nitto head drain requires you to remove the welsh plug and drill and tap the head. I did do the restrictors as per the oil control thread and opened up the head and block oil drains. Not sure on valve springs yet.

Took my car out for a drive and i got break down on tuggeranong parksway. got it towed home and started working on it

so now the car will be off the road for a while, lucky the rego is expiring next week

Water pump is leaking as the bolts are the otherway around

My power steering oil line was leaking for a while and all the oil were on the air con compressor as its right under the power steering pump, so today it started burning the oil and smoked heaps when drove the car with air con was on max for a while as it was not blowing cold air. Also the air con compressor is making a lot of noise. need to be replaced.

going to do the timing belt as well with the water pump (100k service)

Put my plazmaman intake, throttle body and z32 AFM then get it tuned.

    • 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.
