They opened last night :)

Same problem I've always had with them. The clips fall off and come out in the oil. Cruchy for a while then, the selector fork breaks sometime after.

Would that be different to the busted 3rd gear i had? The gears were notchy at times but not constant... The 34 boxes are slightly different to the 33 from memory but now sure how...

I'd assume it's the same, the 34 boxes are pull type and the 33's and push type that's the difference. I think.

Bonnet venting looks dramatic - love it. Lift it and show the work on the underside.

Wondering if the first few rows would be the ones you really need. Hoping that the louvres past half way along don't work against the goal of releasing air. That's starting to get into the high pressure area as you approach the windscreen base.

Yeh so we took a little trip over the border for some more track time. They ran the extended circuit, so it was hard to compare times.

But the split times are on par from last year, so the cage hasnt changed the performance.

Noticed the false floor you put in under the pedals. How did that go? Looks like yove fixed it directly to the floor however others that ive seen have been about 5cm above the floor. How have you found it?

It's just sikaflexed down. Seems fine.

We broke another gearbox over the weekend. This time 3rd gear is no more.

This box was a rough one to start with anyway.

I've got a better one at home that I'll have the synchro clips replaced, hopefully it lasts a couple of years before needing attention.

We still came second with a 1.05.28, slower than last year. But then no-one went faster than last year. Cold track surface conditions both days.

I'm sure with 3rd gear on day two I would have gone a few tenths quicker. Still not the 1.03.xx that Benny's S2000 did last year, but maybe a mid

    • 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.
