Yeah it needs a goood polish but the paint is surprisingly not bad at all. Even the pinstripe / stickers are in good nick.

Hatch party sounds good. I had a thought of more of us buying hatches and hitting SDMA in a "Team SAU Hillclimb Series" or some such...

There's some guys on R31Club who have started there own "Pinny Cup" with limited budget, control tyres etc... Just a thought. :rolleyes:

and yeah sorry Chris but the wheels I mentioned for your Charade are now in use. :woot:

Haha I saw that, but it's all good! :P

I've decided the small damage to the rim isn't too bad and got new tyres fitted yesterday

Red = Fav Colour. This is my first red car though.

Just took it for a small Fang to get some milk. Really weird driving at night with no dash lights.

Fun to drive though and more punch than the Micra. :woot:

Is that thing dohc?

Mine is a single. I find its really punchy down low but not much up top haha. Pretty nippy little thing. Heaps of body roll - Almost need a bucket seat :yes:

Might get some thicker sway bars and stiffer springs at some stage

Should have! If it were still for sale when I decided I wanted a cheap daily I definitely would have :yes:

Yep this^^^ but who knew? :)

I found one of the Fuseable links in the engine bay was fried and barely connected so I slapped a chunky bit of wire in it and it works!

Seems it was actually the main power link too cause the SkyHatch wouldn't even turn over without it.

oh and I slapped the dash and now the dash lights work. :D

Not sure about the 'slap' .... as with women I often found a gentle caress in the right spot could create a spark. :rolleyes:

    • 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.

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.
