I was only expecting a few cars, BUT there was 7 of us, with a few more from devonport way joining the group at Sheffield.

There were:

Stuart & Deb (SAU) - 32 GTR

Paul (smudgee69) - 33 gtr

Me - 32 GTS t

Dale & Chris - 33 GTSt

Jason - 32 GTR

Shane - 32 GTSt

Matt - Supra

???? - GTRi Devonport

????? - SSS Devonport

As you can see there were more non members than members - but who gives'a. Interestingly there were 4 baby seats (with kids in them) that came along. Good on you dads...we will get them young.

Cruised west through Deloraine, Mole Creek, Chudleigh, Gowrie Park, Sheffield. In this we went through 2.5 Targa stages including half of the famous Cethana stage. All up 250 klms.

Day was fine and sunny (yes I know it's winter in Tas) but icy in some parts. I will never disregard thoses "ICY" signs again.

It was a fun day with a mix of comradeship, Nissan nutting, family and heaps of brisk driving.

Kerry

Next one 3 - 4 months.

Thx STUART for pics

Keep this up and you will be able to form an official SAU-TAS :D

Love to come down via the ferry someday and try those great Tassie roads in my GTS4 - always remember I used to hire a Ford Cortina 250 when down there in 70's covering the whole state repairing micrographics gear.

Handling was a bit ordinary but you could bag em up easy :)

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • 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.
