Motorsport is dangerous. You or your car could get hurt etc etc etc

There are walls to hit, it's no Wakefield park. The only place where the wall is at the edge of the track is on the last turn. Everywhere else it is either open or kitty litter before the wall. They are no closer than EC's walls, and there's no fast 180kph turns....

If it's on a weekend I can probably come along (not as an participant, but as a photographer)

I will bring my new Digital SLR and lenses along..

I should be right for about 350 photos on the 1Gb Drive

Hey Jason,

I have a 6gb X-Drive you can off-load the photo's onto if need be and I am there on the day :)

Which DigiSLR do you have your paws on? :eek:

silver-arrowz- yeah thought so, i was just curious, might join in for the track day though.

prank- i actually just missed out on getting that car in my avatar, it was an already prepared drift car, the bid went too high. but i picked up a 95 model 180sx instead at the auctions, i should have the keys in my hands by next wednesday. ill probably sell it soon though, and then order another 180...this time ill make sure i have a 97 model, i absolutely love em, they look awsome and they are rare in sydeny and oz......but another 5 gees ontop of a 95 model 180.

yours looks preety good aswell man, black looks the best.

i just checked the motoconcepts website and it says the entry fee is $200 for this day?? i am not willing to spend $200 + petrol for one day...

but if we r getting some sort of group discount i am interested in participating... :P

$200 less discount sounds about right, it was 140 for last full day at EC but that was a weekday - fair bit more on the weekend.

Most fun you'll ever have for $200......

My whale did 1.11. Its another great track, both wakefield and oran park own EC.

We'll have to do a day down there when it cools down a bit, they have cheap open practice days pretty regularly

how much did it cost u last time u went to wakefield? i am thinking $80 (entrance fee) + $30 (licence fee, i'm first timer) + $60 (return trip petrol cost) + $80-90 (petrol spent on track..) = $250-260 (+ lunch) ?? am i on the right track?? ^_^ thanks

    • 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
