Was having a few brew's tonight at my local and a fight erupted between some locals and some passing by plumbers (I drink at the BURV cos I can roll across the road after work and I don't drive to work on most Friday's)

Anyway, after fight was stoped. Cops arrive and one cop car caught my eye.

I saw two uniformed officers get out of a Navy Blue Mirage. Not any old Mirage, this one had an aftermarket front spoiler, side skirts, 3" exhaust tip plus (this is the killer) it had those neon blue lights on the bonnet for the winsheild washer squirt things. No way I would have picked it as a cop car in a million years.

So next time you see a Mirage... Look twice B4 playing up.

where exactly was this?? damn, those sneaky bastard are getting on my nerves but what bothers me is that they are hypocrites, ive seen cars get pulled over for those lights...

The BURV (good pub... once you get the "feel" for the place) is on the corner of Burwood Hwy and Springvale Rd.

lol... i sometimes pass by the area, if i saw that car i would roll down my window and say "hows it going officer??"... or an even better idea would be to challenge em to a drag (rev your engine) but when the lights hit green just stick to the speed limit and laugh... :(

Beer goggles on... yes. 100% sure it was a Mirage.

Good old Burv. Like I said I work across the road and with all the other multi-national companys (HP - MYOB - Motorola - Cannon - CFA - VIC Roads) you can get a nice spread of office chicks and surburban bunnys + the "ruffnecks" and it all blends in well and creates a great atmosphere for a Friday drink with workmates (even bettter in summer - large beer garden) and there is 6 pool tables. It not a place you would through a birthday party or go to "hang out" on the weekend. It serves it's purpose as a place to wet your whistle after a big week at work.

      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.

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

      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.
