hey everyone, i have study the map and i hope i wont get lost (fingers crossed) but for the sake of a good cruise, can someone else take the lead as i dont want to take a wrong turn and see every other car go the other direction from me lol....

and no ending locaton has been organised.. so i guess we will go where we want on the night...

Sorry to pull guys but i cant make it. My car is sooooo not ready for next week dyno night...

I am in the process of putting it all back together atm...

The earliest i could get it into Matt Spry is next Thursday (the day of the dyno night) at 9am... So here is hoping that nothing goes wrong otherwise ill be stuck down the gold coast... LOL

sad to hear that col.... i would offer a lift, but sadly it looks like im going to have 3 people in car as it is... and i dont think 4 would fit to nicely

Serious question?

Why SAU?

whynot pulsar.org or something?

Not much stuff happens with the pulsar forums...

Just got my car back on the road after a long hiatus and wanted to take it out with some other predominantly turbo cars and have some fun.

Plus I live about 5 minutes from the airport :P

Anyway, seems like its only really Skylines so no worries anyway :(

Please come say hi though.

By fun I meant checking out some nice cars, going for a drive, etc.

I ain't no FF Hoon :(

Well if I'm welcome I might pop round and say hi and checkout some of the awesome rides on here in person :P

OK, I'll answer your query

Directions for those that will use the Gateway

If you are coming from the southside using the Gateway, you need to take the East-West Arterial Road exit off the Gateway.

You then drive down to a roundabout (you need to turn right as if you were heading for the airport).

You will now go under the Gateway and you'll be heading for another roundabout.

Go straight through the roundabout (again as if you were going to the airport)...you should very soon see the DFO on your right hand side (I hope you do, as I've never been to DFO, but have seen it from the car).

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Karen

Hey Col, if you need a lift I have an empty car. But I will be having a fairly early night as I start work on Friday morning at 5am.

We need your camera skills!!

PM your address if you are keen.

Gateway for sure :worship:

Paying the toll is worth it as then you don't have to stuff around with Riverside Expressway/Sandgate Road nightmare :D

    • 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
