Filling up boys and girls...

SMR33 aka KAren... Will be attending along with REVHEAD aka Mark to watch and maby help with answers a few questions for the non members...

I believe Karen may also bring some merchendise (spelling) and other stuff to sell??? Not sure tho... But she will take Eoi on the up and coming new products from the members...

Remember guys if you join on the night you will get an automatic $10 discount on the dyno... So that makes your first saving with a club membership...

with people in position 11 and 12... i dont see these people owning a skyline.

sorta defeats the purpose in my opinion of this being a challenge to see who's puttin out what power amongst skyliners.

How is it a "challenge"??? It is a social get together that happens to have some cars on the dyno for a point of interest. One of the other cars has a RB even, I see no problem..Why would we leave it to chance that all the spots on the night will be filled?? The thing is that with club events you just have to accept that people/cars you dont like may come...we have

The rest are skylines so you have plenty to compair with...

Yeah guys... owned asked me if it was ok and i said a big YES...

Only reason is i dont want to turn up on the night and fnd out that 3 people have pulled out... Cause that will cost me personally, so i extended the invite to his friends as it will help make numbers.

Anyhow one of them has an rb motor in his car already and the other guy will want an rb motor by the end of the night... So we have 2 possible new members and this was one of the reasons to hold the event...

Last dyno night we had saw many (non skylines) take the rollers, once again to boost numbers...

I dont have a problem with it at all and those who do should contact me via pm.

NOTE: Only a couple of spots to go...

15 spots now filled with one un confirmed...

So looks good guys...

My car is booked in with Matt Spry for the morning of the event to have a few touch-ups... Yeah...

Cant wait, will be most of the forum there to watch the event. There is heaps of car parking at the location and i encourage everyone to come along. Please feel free to post your attendance here. I would like to encourage users of this forum to attend the event. Its costs nothing to watch...

Allstar have an eftpos terminal for payment and will have staff on hand to talk mods and service they provide.

Doesn't look like I will be able to make the night even as a spectator as planned .. another trip to Gladstone for me .. and it clashes with yet another SAU event .. if by some miracle I make it back in time I'll get there for a look

Count me in i wanna see how mine goes

No worries... Lucky last confirmed on the rollers...

Arhhh damn Garry, was looking forward to showing you the car... I know you really wanted to see it...

OK the rollers are full however if you are spectating on the night and someone does not turn up and you want to run then thats ok...

Silver_R34_GT-T your first on if someone is not there mate...

I appriciate all of you whom want to run and hope the rest of you are planning on watching...

Thanks guys for the support. Events are not easy to get going...

i will be there as a spectator for sure :angry:..... i suppose a r34 with only mods being exhuast and pod filter stills spits outa factory crappness to the wheels.. so no point wasting peoples time till more mods are done

    • 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
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
