Hi,

Guys i have a problem, im from NSW and some plans of mine have changed for new years so i now need to head to the Gold Coast on the 31st for new years. Now with it been such late notice i realise i have no chance of getting an apartment there for a few nights so i need some advice on some cheap motels in the area. I cant find much on the internet as most off the accomodation advertised on the net is resorts/appartments which are all booked out.

I just need a cheapish motel that isnt to far away from the main part of the Gold Coast so i need some recommendations, im guessing even this may be a long shot as far as beign booked out.

Any ideas anyone?

There are plenty of motels along the GC Highway that do standby rates... Not really walking distance to Surfers, but a cheap cab ride or bus will get you there... NFI how booked out they are though... I have a house to live in :P

www.yellowpages.com.au and make some phone calls...

a place called the Sunset Court, within walking distance, not great but cozy and cheap, stayed there for schoolies, maybe yopu should give it a look at, 5 min walk from everything and 5-10min walk to the beach, right near cavill as well, bout 1 min walk but in a quieter area ;)

This link might help you find somewhere cheapish to stay. Most of the accommodation posted on there is cheapish and shows maps and stuff of where it's located.

Good source if you ask me ;)

They normally only put up a fortnight in advance, so maybe check back on the weekend and see what accommodation they have listed for new years. Some of the hotels leave rooms spare to specifically put their deals on that website.

I think you said it all in the first sentence....

Guys i have a problem, im from NSW

just kidding.

If you had have asked like two weeks ago. My friend's parents own the second top floor of acupulco. He had a room left and offered it to me cheap but I had no money so I couldn't. I just asked him before and he has filled it now.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
