Just buy the missus one that's what I did :) ok well it is a ralliart not an EVO but hey it is still fun to drive

My missus wants an Evo X (even though she knows she'll never afford it), but would settle for an SST boxed Ralliart. Just got to train her NOT to put a cannon on it like her VRX lol

We got the twin clutch SST model. It is a great gear box and is lightening fats with the gear changes....

We have had some trouble with it though :(

After 5 visits back to the dealership they are changing the entire gearbox and mechatronics unit...... $16800 :blink:

I am just happy it is under warranty :) :)

Was that the shopping car Martin? :P

I think she might be tempted to come to the dark side. Said this morning that she wants a Stagea haha

That was indeed the shopping car.

Still make mincemeat of any Stagea though, and you would kind of hope so :)

A guy dies when his Nissan 180sx hits a stobie and catches fire at port adelaide last night

and of course, the news presenter has to drop the line "witnesses said they heard a car doing burnouts in the area"

f**k i hate the media

Kinda suss location tho - where people are known for letting off some steam away from the general public (commendable..) It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it were true - and if its true, why not report it? Its the cases where they blatantly make shit up that really gets my goat...

Still, assuming the report is true, its a shame there was a death over something as trivial as a burnout.... people may say 'fatalities can happen in controlled conditions too' - but this just reinforces the fact that in spite of putting safety first, people still die. Put safety last, the odds of injury are greatly increased....

edit* oh moorehouse road.... no reason to be there at night unless up to no good. but still.... media exaggeration of the truth prevails.

yeah that general area is bad for it. I recently went for a drive out to outer harbour, took a scenic detour on the way back.... well this detour is the fresh road that links up to the submarine corp - no buildings, covered in burnouts - a street light already flattened by someone who lost control and a memorial further down to some girl who died..

cant see how either of those things could happen there.... but obviously it does.

oh and pelican point is nothing like i remember it. used to be completely empty except for the fishermen, trailbike riders, and the smouldering wrecks of dumped stolen cars. but that was 15 years ago...

I work up in that area. Mersey road/veich road/victoria road all have rubber all over the place. ASC folks leave in the arvo and spend it doing amateur drift around the roundabouts in clapped out commodores and statesmans. Matter of fact there was a crash last friday with 2 commodores on veich road as they were leaving, one was a write off. Always seeing bogans doing stupid shit up there. Idiots dont realize that its all being captured on camera...

Edit - the memorial isnt actually for a car fatality - a woman was murdered in the mangroves a couple of months ago

    • 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
