its all sitting in the corner of my shed.

no lines cut, the whole thing, come and take it away if you want it.

only problem is if it dont fit then you have a big pile of sht in your shed to get rid of.

are ya feelin lucky?

Went for a nice drive out of town to test out the new radiator.

Success! Overheating issue solved ==)

Now just to find the rattle/knocking at 120kmph... :wacko:

Private Roads... Gotta love 'em!!! :ninja:

So what Radiator did you end up getting? What coolant you using? Did the fan shroud fit? Thermo sensor? Still using the Clutch Fan?

Check for Stray current that may cause your radiator to eat itself in less than a month? So many questions... :laugh:

I got a 42mm chinese ebay one. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190700402072?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

fit straight in perfect. stock fan, shroud and sensor no problems. didn't check for current (forgot)

Using Tectaloy 50/50 premix with glycol (or whatever it is. i'm tired and cant be bothered to think, lol)

Gave the pod filter a good clean. DAMN that thing was filthy!!!! and made a new bracket. to hold it in place nicely..

Now just waiting for boost gauge to start next step =)

I think the only issue that would arise would be capturing other people's info like car, rego. Privacy Act is a touch and go thing in AUS. Hence why when cops pull you over with recording devices they say that they are recording you as a pre warning.

Are they allowed for insurance reasons, if given the police officer in question asks about it? Not real sure how to avoid other people's privacy but given it's a public place, recording and taking photos is allowed generally.

Record everything and let the courts worry about it

This.

Also yeah Jeremy I'd think being in public, you're right that there's very little 'privacy' against photos etc...

A myth/rumour I'd like to know the truth behind though, is the one I always hear about it being illegal to record conversations with police officers (sound or video) when you're pulled over for example - even if you advise them you're recording. Anyone know the go with this?

From my understanding and not sure against Feds but, you have to advise whether or not you are recording video/sound (or not). The police officer will then request for you to either turn it off (Which you have to) or he will acknowldge and proceed with defecting you :P

Anyone have any cop m8's? My m8 has a cop friend. Might get him to ask him. Also, becareful, you can be arrested for not having more then $5 on you at all times (True law - but not policed :P) Infact, a guy in Melbourne got recently questioned for not having any money on him - mind you he lost his wallet.

Funny laws.

    • 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.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
