Well with a bit of luck I'm ready to go for Friday, finished a quick tidy up of the car today and have the new tyres on. Its been run in, tuned, spanner checked, aligned and seems to run OK

Is everyone else ready to do?

Custom catch can is now all fitted and the brake pads have arrived, just gotta get them in and i should be right to go :yes:

Im waiting for my new front rotors, but have thrown in the new pads incase they dont arrive. cause to old ones look like this. :)

Haha well at least we suffered the same issues! I did 2 sets of pads and a gearbox :P

What pads do you run out of interest?

Ferodo DS3000s, they chew the hell out of the rotors though.

Edit - i mean before they backing plates were on the rotor!

Haha yeah was going to say the backing plates wouldn't have helped the rotors life :P

well at least you got good value from them.

If you are both chewing through pads you need something more aggressive. Hawk HT-60 are excellent track pads if you can get them in the size you need

I am trying out the Winmax pads from Brake Direct... The rears are a W5 which are similar to a DS3000 and the fronts are a W6 which are similar to a Club Racer from memory... Meant to be pretty aggressive for a standard sized pad! In saying that i still have them in the boxes and not in the car lol... I really should sort that out :P

got good life out of them, i think. i've had them in since 2012 and done maybe 5 trackdays a year. is that deemed acceptable?

that said, i wouldnt mind trying something else. although they are the right pads for my callipers i have to shave them down 2mm each to fit. very annoying..

I reckon that is a pretty bloody good stint ;) I went through 2 sets at Wakie lol

Brakes Direct have some good options and good advice, ask for Greg and see what he can do for ya?

I will most likely go bigger fronts when i can afford too...

Cool, I'm off so will drop in for a few hours to lend moral support :3some:

also point a lot and say what's that :unsure:

:rofl:

Awesome... Come say Hi...

Shit I better start putting Cheryl back together. She's in a million bits on the garage floor.

Lol talk about leaving things to the last minute! :P

I'm hoping that means an easier Friday for me rather than fixing lots of things... Lol

Just got back from the dyno for the e85 upgrade and tune, may get their a bit early on Thursday as its open track day and do a few laps get use to the extra 45kw I have now, coil overs that need some setting up.

    • 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
