It's funny Mik joked about it being a hillclimb... as a teenager I lived just down the road, and let's just say we spent a fair bit of time in that forest on the dirt roads learning some rally driving skills LOL

First day back at work after 10 or so days being sick (Unpaid leave, CURSE YOU). Anyways, first day back at work I decided to take the monring a bit easy and search for some Skyline reviews. The oldest review I have found is in 1999.

http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/250z-gtr-on-nissans-wish-list-20100823-13g9r.html

A good read.It's really interesting reading about such old cars to us, but reviewed as new back in the 90's.

R34 GTR coming to Australia: http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/nissan-ponders-gtr-20100823-13gn0.html

#@Sinista32 The Skyline GT-R wont be cheap. In Britain, the price is 50,000; if it happens here, Nissan Australia will be setting the price around $140,000. I remember us trying to find some cost figures for the R34 GT-R on it's release.

Ztune R34: http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/skyline39s-the-limit-20100824-13oh7.html

I've tried to find some Drive.com.au articales about the R32 GTR when it first featured or even in pre-production but I'm guessing Drive.com.au wasn't around then.

jeremy Clarkson from top gear did a review of the r32 when it first released. The video is on youtube. It's an interesting watch.

P.S good to see the public servant here is working the hardest in the office today.

Yeah seen that video. Pretty interesting that's for sure. I hate reading, but was looking forward to it.

p.s The work I do in an hour probably admits to your work in a week :P. I work hard when I need to, I also take advantage of slower times in my day ;) Work smarter ! Not harder !

you coming out to a Friday meet soon?

haha I know exactly who that was. He has the car back (so people can chauffeur him in it lol), but license will remain suspended of course. He was busted on the way back from Sydney after an impulse drive up there for the weekend after a rather serious shitstorm with his housemate(s).....was really late Sunday night (hence it being told as "Monday" as it technically was lol), so at least it wasn't during the day when there's traffic....and yes, I realise you can't excuse it :P

He drives (or drove, lol) a Mitsubishi 380. Never usually drives aggressively, so it was definitely a once off that he unfortunately got caught for LOL

That's amazing news ! As I'm sure everyone here obeys the road rules. Police Targeting Modified cars was a horrid month (Whenever those RTA cars with cops going around). Speaking of which. I spotted a RTA / Cop setup stop thingy near Gunners. 4 cops and 2 RTA cars - saw one cop speed off with sirens and as I was passing I gave them a bit of my JDM PSSSSSCH, cops head's turned thinking "there goes our one of our monthly statistics !" as I drove off into the sunset :D

Chris, your taxpayers dollars are being well spent on my SAU browsing :P

I knew of someone who did 180 in a 60km/h in Newcastle. Sped got his license taken away and car as well. Complete moron he was.

      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.
