Don't have kids then default_smile.png

Show us your kids. First night back to Bmx racing for a month. Told the boy it's been a while take it easy. Cruised around for 2 laps, then hammered it out the start gate didn't clear the first jump binned it down the massive Hill. 20mins. Just got home from emergency. The boy is destined to own a skyline.

Shoey divided by 100. Did about 703 metres! His knee, hip and elbow had munga deep grazes and the wrist blew up instantly. Checked out all good in X-rays. Phew. Already pushing hard for a day off school tomorrow. Haha. Bad luck. I've been crawling around in and under a dual control rubbish truck called Dennis making 4"s/s intercooler tubing for 2 days. You will be going to school. Show us your dad. Awww

Used to race bmx, did a few cool down laps after an event with my best mate late at night. He clipped the top of a step-up and went head first into the following tabletop. I had to scream out for an ambulance as he was out cold. No damage done tho

Yeah mate. It's a pretty extreme sport as you obviously know. Heart was in my mouth for a few seconds. He dusted it off told everyone he was fine then got on the bike and dumped it again because the chain came off during the stack. He tried to finish the lap. I was fully proud of the boy. The track out at Westside has a pretty extreme start. Best track in w.a. I think.

But crack flossing. A full team of surgeons with pointy nose pliers.

DSC_0288.JPGCheck the tube out. (from the Dennis) Intercooler to manifold intake pipe on the charge air or boost side were 4" o/d. Because the intercooler outlet and the manifold were cast pipes the I/d of the cast pipe was approximately the same as the I/d of a 3 1/2 inch 16 guage tube. They have had problems with the 4" Ali tubes being worn through and cracking from the compressor lines of the Cummins engine wearing through and losing boost pressure and rattling. I left the tube running off the intercooler at 4" like a plenum then reduced it to 3 1/2 to clear the chassis rail and compressor tubes. Still had to press a flat in it for clearance at 3 1/2 inch o/d s/s. We had to lift the chasis from the leafs just to be able to manoeuvre the tube in with a porter power because the 2ton forklift couldn't lift it. Developed 3 tubes from 316 s/s, done the drawings and jigged it up. 2 days. Tighter than a nuns I'm there. Mental.DSC_0292.JPG

It'd bloody hurt coming off in Lycra


Yeah had a couple of offs now, both times mechanical failure not skill related, shit happens, first off was a big one, went over the bars as the wheel at the back came out of its lock. Last week had a front flat and didn't realise went round a corner and ate shit.

Your a maniac. I reckon if I came off these days it would be crack tinkle tinkle, measure up the coffin. Haha came off and ate shit. Funny as!

Keen as for a catch up dude. I am still spewing i missed the last one

 

Family is good. Loinspawn are starting to spread their wings at last, so i have more time to spend pantless at home, and i think that is a win.

Dale! Long time :D Enjoy your pantless time til the grandkids come around :P

I hit a roo at 100ish, wasn't dressed appropriate and ate bitumen. Took me months to get over. Got gangrene weeks later. Riding in Lycra sounds scary to me

Keep telling yourself that grandad

Funny story for u guys. My wife was In the xr8 on gt. eastern hwy near the casino. She took off pretty quick from the lights as she does in the 6 speed manual. She heard a awesome sounding loud as v8 next to her looked over and was surprised to see it was another lady driving a new black senator. It pulled level with her then started gassing it on and off for a race. My wife will never bite back. Unbeknownst to her and my wife the police were right behind them. Woop, Woop, pulled the commodore over. Haha. My wife panicked and thought it was for her but the police waved her on:-)

One like for my fully difficult charge air tube. Hope it was my boss?

    • 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.
    • 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.
