Yep Aircraft(Chopper) Tech in army was what i was going for, talked to a guy in the Woden recruiting office about it and he said it was the most challenging and the certificates at the end were the most rewarding. They are even fast tracking people applying for this job because its in such high demand...

Slept so bad last night, couldnt stop thinking about it. If it was something I could work on and fix id be fine with it but like leigh said, cant do anything about it which just makes it harder.

I'm still going to go for the defence force though, the navy recruiter I had my interview with went through the exact same thing as me (he's red/green colour blind aswell) so he gave me his number (*sings* "in the navy") and said he'd help me out with what options were available and which ones would interest me the most out of those. Pretty much my only option if i really want a decent job in the Defence Force is if i go for officer but most of those are just desk jobs which goes against the whole reason i decided to join DF in the first place, to get away from Public Service jobs. Bah disappointing...

Im only 19 Skylvia ;) Yea its a fail once fail forever

just got my quote from trojan. $7400 for fairly standard rebuild with forged pistons, $8600 to do the rb24 build :S plus aobut a grand for a new turbo as mine is fcuked dunno whether its worth going the rb24. im going to be struggling to pay for either i guess heh

or the other option is to get a import motor to replace yours, or just a reco job with out the extra bits... Good luck motor rebuilds suck. Done the mini a few times now, just because its a mini doesnt mean its not a pain, so small and fiddly. Good quote though

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • 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
    • 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.
