Sau Vic - General Meeting - Tues 21/03


Recommended Posts

It's SAU Vic Social Meeting time. That's right, Beer, Food, Beer, Cars, Beer and laughs!

These social meetings are divided into two parts, the first if your hungry is a meal from the bistro and a chance to have a chat with other members then the second is a short informal meeting.

We use these meetings to give quick rundowns on past events with video's, pictures and stories etc, to address pressing matters, tell members what's happening behind the scenes and for discussion on upcoming events. It's all pretty relaxed and fun. This is a great opportunity for those of you who don't know too many members to come down and mix as new faces are always welcomed.

Hello everyone!

The new Entertainment Books for 2006-2007 are being launched in early April!

Those of you who purchased one last year will know that all the discounts and offers (more than $10,000 worth!) more than make up for the purchase price, even if you only use a few of the offers available. We made our money back straight away, purely by hiring a car for a few days when we went interstate last year! We have also saved multiple times on accommodation, takeaway food (eg KFC), cinema and bowling tickets to name only a few things.

Anyway this year, if you make an advance order for a Greater Melbourne book, you will receive an advance order certificate with some bonus offers attached (that you can use immediately), and you will be *guaranteed* to get your book at the April SAU meeting. The bonus offers are valid until end of June 06 so there's no rush to use them.

You will need to make payment before the 6th April 2006 to get the bonus. I will start handing them out at the March SAU meeting on the 21/3/06. You need to get in early to be reserve your copy and the bonus offers.

Anyone who hasn't purchased the book before is most welcome to get one this year, I will post up a thread detailing everything about the Entertainment Book this week. :P

You can make payment directly to me (preferably) or if you want, you can make payment to the SAU VIC account or you can also bring cash to the March SAU meeting (please PM me beforehand with approx # of books you'll be paying for).

Hey kaz just a quick one on the ent book... Is it still $60???

Ahh see that's what happens when you change your post, you end up deleting everything important :mad:

Sorry.. so yep $60 for the book, if you can't pick it up from the SAU meetings or any other SAU event I'm at, it's a flat $10 for express postage :)

I can tell you Beach Rd is closed but went through South Melbourne last night and all were open virtually up to Beach Rd itself (residents need access still). You will also be fine as Beach Rd is open from 5.30pm today anyway.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
