Excellent news.

Presume this is for club member cars only? Vic/interstate alliances?

Do you have a specific theme in mind or should everyone apply - spectrum of Skylines/GTR, clean stock, highly customised, show v track etc then you'll decide on club theme once see the entries?

Great to see, I work there every year and on!y see the Nissan owners club cars which are pretty average. Can't wait to see some clean and/or full-on skylines / gtrs.

Would put my name in, but I would want to see skylines in the SAU stand, not my s14-gtr cross

Would love to but cant risk car getting damaged/scratched unless you guys are planning to rope the cars off?

There will be barriers between cars and spectators, here is some info from the F1 Motorsport & Entertainment Department who are running the Automotive Avenue -

- The vehicles on display will have rope and pole barrier positioned around them to prevent patrons from touching the vehicles during the event. However, it is the responsibility of each owner to ensure that no patron approaches their car during the event. Some clubs provide an ‘onsite’ support person to manage this process, as well as being able to provide information on the Car Club.

- Roving security will be in place during each event day and night in the area of each Automotive Avenue location.

- There will be no coverage provided to the cars from rain or dust, however, each owner has the option to cover their vehicle during the course of the night. All covers are to be removed prior to gate opening the next morning, which occurs at approximately 10.30am on each day of the event.

Got to ask as you say you can't risk it getting scratched - do you stay home and look at it in a garage? :-)

Stays in a locked garage almost all the time. I try to avoid shopping center car parks. I try to find parellel parking wherever I go so I don't have to park next to anyone :)

Fark parallel parking worries me the most. People openly swing car doors into other cars but people's depth perception when reversing in front of you is worse I reckon :/

Know that one, I parked up in Tidal river 50mtrs away from the main bunch of parked cars and someone still managed to drive in to the side of mine - plus didn't leave details

      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.

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.
