erm dunno...the empty bottle's at home but i think it said to add one 3rd of the coolant and two 3rds water?

that's why I asked about the ratio thingy....wasnt sure what was in it already, and if I'd have enough to fill it up at the proper ratios etc..

be careful who you roadrage against.

yesterday i had to make a quick trip to work to drop the keys off i had left in my pants. Drive is uneventful till i get to the one intersection on the road and get cut-off at 100km... in the rain... guy does not speed up and keeps going 50km an hour, i get closer and closer hoping he gets the hint to go the speed limit but back off a bit realising how stupid that is. He rides the shoulder and sprays my car with stones and sticks... He then turns down the road i need to take to get to work and i finally have an opportunity to overtake, just as i overtake he moves to the middle of the road and very nearly runs me off the side. I explode and race beside him abusing him then cut in front and slow down to 30 kms, he tries overtaking i stop him, this continues for a little while and I drive off, drop keys off and go home. It was the second time ive ever exploded on the road like that.

Today i get into work and tell my boss the story, turns out the guy is one of the neighbours and already talked to my boss. Turns out the guy is actually a crazy old guy with guns. Turns out the guys brother in law is one of the only cops in the area. Turns out he gave my rego plates to said cop to 'monitor' me. Coincidentally i see a police car on the back road i take to work for the second or third time in the year i've worked there and this cop car was waiting on the side of the road.

I foresee me either getting 'randomly' pulled over or shot in the very near future.

I'd just like to tell everyone on the northside to go fill up on bp ultimate at bp jamison. Cheapest "available" Premium 98 I could find on the north side, at a 163.9, i filled up a whole 8 and a bit litres, such a good deal!, only 19c a little more than the shell V Power 144.9, which unfortunately was out of stock all over belco. I can say will be back real soon!, also 95 premium was good too, only 154.9 when 91 ron was 137.9 lol. Thumbs up for Jamison BP I say. ;):)

BP Jamison, has charged extra for Ultimate for ages now, just part of the service.... managed to fill up on 8000 at mobil braddon for 1.40, went to three other servos and they were all out of premium. Will be an interesting few weeks if oil stays at 100+ $ a barrel :teehee:

I think I'll keep my car safely tucked in here at Bowning and use the g/fs car to run in and out of Canberra to avoid murrumbateman then lol

Memories!!! @ Bowning! Argh. I lived there for 16 years (age 3 to ~21). Moved back into Canberra a few years ago. You're not wrong calling it "middle of nowhere!"

I used to live on the second highest hill in Bowning, overlooking the highway that goes off to Harden (the side facing away from Bowning Hill). It was a mongrel of a hill to walk up/down on the way to school! Very steep. Dad moved the house there in 7 pieces from Binalong... DUMB idea). I think the block was actually divided up some years ago and that my old house is now owned by a dog breeder, cos they had a dog sign on the front and lots of little high-fenced pens last time I drove by.

The really dumb thing is: we used to live in the house next to the Bowning servo (the one that is still standing!). That's right - we moved WITHIN Bowning... *forehead smack*

However, we did get the house from Binalong for FREE (using the loose definition of the word 'house', it would have been the equivalent of a rolling car shell) and get this: the 2.5 acre block with sprawling views for miles and miles cost us just $17 grand! Mind you, my olds had to take out a personal loan just to pay the deposit on the land, and this was when interest rates were at their highest! Fun times and lots of cheap pancakes for all :teehee:

I'm glad I grew up there as a kid thrashing around with sticks in the grass and plenty of space to ride a BMX, but I don't think I could handle living out there these days! Also feel for Baconer, halfway to bvggery :) and can see why bad drivers would p1ss him off, given that there's so few ppl on the road, it's not hard to drive politely and clear of everyone else!

</NOSTALGIA>

PS, yeah BP Jamo has always been expensive. I try to fill up at BP Braddon, but I have NFI what Ultimate costs these days with the car off the road the past 3 months!

      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.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
