Ill be giving Paul a call this Friday 4th to confirm vacancies and pricing.

Price is $7000.

Just rang and spoke to Paul, he has cancelled the day as he did not receive enough deposits, as ppl were concerend about the rain, and wanted to pay on the day, which to anyone that has attended these sorts of days, well you know thats a recipe for lots of no shows.

So day is cancelled, he mentioned a day later in the year at Calder, but thats ages away...

Whats with Victorians, Team Track Day in Sydney is usually out the night before doing rain dances :)

Seriously, i will put up the funds if we can get the numbers, obviously not next week, but perhaps late August.

Roy - Team Vic track day is growing. Sameer is talking to his mate Lindnsay about us borrowing his track for a day later in the year. The number of guys interested in the track is growing quickly so we'll get it sorted. Eventually.

BTW - whats happening with you and the Dutton? You still entering now that geoff is a cripple or what?

Roy ...BTW - whats happening with you and the Dutton? You still entering now that geoff is a cripple or what?

I want to, but not by myself. Firstly its the funds, but mostly its not being able to have a laugh and share the car with.... with broken 3rd gear are you looking for a co-drive? :)

My teams budget is pretty poor... so I cant pay you your normal professional/hired gun driving rates :D

Mate Im hoping to have my gearbox funtional well and truly before August. Im even hoping to have it before the next MSCA at Winton so I can put it through its paces.

But if things go awefully wrong I may be in contact! I'll be prepared to discount my fee's substancially for you mate! :)

Ash you're a spoil sport.

I don't mind the wet too much, just involves a lot of pucker factor. Would have played if I wasn't off to ACT.

Roy, at this stage I'll definitely be out for Dutton so good luck with a co-driver. Watch Snowy as he breaks stuff :rofl:

Can I borrow your car sometime soon to measure up the HICAS? Call me if you have time this weekend.

    • 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.
    • 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.
