Edifier's R34 GT-R VS2 is fine. Small leak at offside front > needs attention - that's all.

Will have it check out first thing tomorrow morning, water temp was ok on my way home. And huge thanks to Terry for escorting me back to Sydney. ;)

Large hail forecast for the Hunter.

Newie ppl under cover!

Sydney ppl are outta there right?

Was lucky to completely avoid the hail - took M1 home and stuck in a huge jam about 5k away from Pacific Highway exit. Turned out that trees fell on M1 due to storm so took some time to clear things out. Killara/Lindfiend area looked like they were hit by a typhoon/cyclone, water and leaves everywhere on the road.

Great drive today, really enjoyed it! Already looking forward to the next cruise.

Home.

Hail came through Syd while I was still on the f3.

Sad to hear about The BB 34 not making it Terry. Good on you for helping out *pat on back*

My back is killing me!

I'm not really that nice a person.

I'd do the same for an enemy.

Gotta know what address I send the bell housing. :P

We left the pub pretty early cos me and the mrs were buggered and we drove through that cyclone. Holy crap. Heaviest rain I've ever been through but thankfully no hail.

Thanks for organising guys

Thanks for organising and for everyone coming along. It was a really nice drive!

Managed to catch the storm coming back to Sydney and I couldn't see anything in front of me. It was pretty much just a giant blur of grey haha.

Was a great event. Bernie and me missed the storm completely. Was lucky.

Got stuck in the jam on the M1 before the Wahroonga turn off for a bit. Other than that all clear.

Hailed in Hornsby but we missed it all.

Same here... Started storming as soon as I got home though, but only for 5 minutes.

Really fun day and perfect introduction into the SAU Sydney scene... definitely what I needed to appreciate my Skyline and hang onto it!

Thanks for organising!

Yes great weather on the way up but terrible traffic and weather on the way back, at least I had a 32 to cruise back with Mark, not sure what your forum name is.

Great day though, will post some pics when there's a wrap up thread.

Great day. Nice to meet some of you. Sorry to hear about the traffic and weather for some on the way back down south. Good turnout and hats off to the royal hotel for getting the meals out in good time considering the number of orders they had. Look forward to seeing some pics and to the next event.

Good cruise!!! Plenty of nice cars to look at. Snapped some photos so will upload a few tomorrow night.

Went back to Sydney via the Putty with Mick which seemed like a good idea at the time. The rain ended up pelting down....plus plenty of tree branches & debris on the road etc. Pretty treacherous conditions, especially with well-worn AD08's...but was still good fun lol.

Also...on the putty a bloke with a horse float almost lost it around a right hander.... and on the m4 there was a Chrysler stuck in the flooded right lane as well as a Toyota with its front end smashed in.

      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

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. 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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.
