washed the car last night at like 430 .. run out of time to polish and now i need to go down the GC...... im sensing an early early morning tomorrow for charity cruise

nice

Going to give my car a wash now. Just waiting for the battery to charge! New ecu on Thursday too!

although u will not need new ECU for tomorrow's charity cruise

Nor looking forward to cleaning the car today gonna pull half the car apart to fix up some trim that hasn't been sitting properly for a while now.

focus on just cleaning the car Zeke, you will have plenty of time to correct the trim that most peps won't care about..........then again I also anal bout bodywork so totally understand

This whole cleaning the car thing blows goats.

think of it as your exercise for the day Bunts then after crack a beer or two and enjoy your hard work (results)

At least your cars are able to run :-P

Anyone got a spare seat for a photographer I've got coming along? Work and the car gods have f**ked me over. I can get him to the meet (in my oh so classy Astra) but I have to bail early so he'll need a lift to the powerhouse mid afternoon.

less work more car fun perhaps? Or is that the other way around? :P

Hope you can find time to fix the 34 soon Boz

Time is the real killer. Although I may have more up my sleeve because of this. I was using my own car (with a generous per/km allowance and fuel reimbursement) to do a sales rep job. Guess I won't have that job any more :P Which is OK because I wanted to stop anyway. Two jobs, an internship, summer semester uni, a relationship and the club all left me with zero time. I'll have done over 100 hours between the jobs, internship and uni this week and that is killing me when it doesn't pay. Didn't mind it when i was a manager and doing 14-16 hour days every day because I got free food, free booze and a good pay packet.

Well I kinda do. Any throttle through the mid range causes knock. But I will either go very slow down the back or go straight from the first meet point to lakeside

if you are taking on so much right will hopefully mean you will have more time in the future..........smart work DOES pay off :)

is it worth the risk Bunts?

   is it worth the risk Bunts?

I have been driving it like this for 12 months. If I keep it in my pants its all good

car is almost ready just minor details to finish.

 

Did you get that exhaust fitted Bunts? so we can compare shiny 44gal drum exhausts :P

I have not fitted it. I might not either, seeing if I can swap it for somthing different!

Ya I am all hooked up with a Stuffed toy,

Done my dyno run, little disappointed so got sadd face atm :(

But the cruise tomorrow will prob bring my smile back.

Looking forward to see some HawT cars and great peeps.

    • 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.
