Hey all

had a fun morning today

driving the ceff to get tuned- on the way back i hear a scraping sound on the highway back- thought it was a truck behind me and just kept cruisng

after the truck exited teh hwy a couple minutes later i realised its a bit closer to home than that :)

decided to pull over and find this beautyzaust.jpg

Seem the mofo shook it self loose on our lovely smooth sydney roads (ie parramate road sucks teh azz)

Had a good laugh trying to position back into place on the side of the road ;)

Just goes to show how fked our roads are (that is to say it had a full underbody check at the workshop)

hehehe It makes 129 db at 4grand -unfortunately- sounds like some sort of evil monster though- gotta love that tough deep SR sound -

Id love to bring her out for a meet/cruise whatever- if you guys are keen post up some ideas :) missed the last cruise coz of ahem engineering issues ;) but all good now

Lol it actually made less than that when i got it but somehow one of my silencers flew out during some *spirited* driving :) Its completely straight through up to the turbo -there is a cat on there but it came with a cat pipe for racing use also

Its all good though ;)

Anyone going to wakefield this weekend?

Yeah im agreeing with the condition of the roads in sydney, living just off parra rd near parra, its insane.... thank god the only cars (a corolla and a sonata) i have to drive here dont matter if they get hurt.

how's that bit of parra rd from homebush to auburn...nasty as...cant even stand driving on it in mum's accord

hey another "get cef together" sounds good, this time i should have the car on the road...let's meet up, still cant remember who i met last time, and now the cef might be gone soon...

Yeah icidentilly i was on the part from homebush to auburn- fkn shocking

exhaust wasnt damamged at all- just the part where it joins together got slightly scraped- its hellalot tough :)

This weekend at wakefield is initial drift round 3- would be awesome to see a few of you guys out there- me a couple mates are cruising up

    • 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. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
