So 10pm tonight? having not been a canberra local, you are referring to the National Museum car park? is it big, or any specific section to drive to?

if i can find it, i will be there :D

Yes 10 is fine, any time from 9.30 really. Yes the National Museum car park near the entrance/exit.

If you keep going this regularly you might as well look into buying wakefield, cheaper for you in the long run :)

if we have enough sausage sizzles we might be able to build a track closer to home :D

Hey guys, I'll be down from Sydney tomorrow for the long weekend and would like to see a nice turn out tomorrow night so I can have a visit and catch up with you all :D see you out there tomorrow, someone just tell me a time!

It was great to meet you out at the Museum SL33KY!

Was my first time out at one of the "Friday Night Meets" and caught up with Cejay, SL33KY and a couple of other guys (sorry, cannot for the life of me, remember your names/usernames).

I wasn't even going to go out Friday night, but my mate was keen to see a couple of Skylines up close. Turned out to be a bad decision as I was pulled into an RBT station on Melrose Drive and was defected on the exhaust (i thought i would, 95db) but the inspector has sent me for a full inspection instead of just the exhaust level check. So, here comes an engineers cert sooner than I was hoping (waiting for funds to increase as always).

Damn that sux sfrizza, Im dreading the day that I get pulled over and defected :cheers:

I can see it now... pull over... you're defected sir for having more than four times the allowable limit of frangipanis on your car

You know that one day Im going to turn up at the track with a packet of stick on franjipani's and plaster them all over your nice black formula 4000... Then Im going to take at least half a dozen photo's and spread them all over the net! :)

Mick

I think everyone has enough money to "rub you out"......

It would only cost 20cents to put a hit out on you!!! :action-smiley-069::D

Hey I let you have the last dig at him... but be warned now, he's my biatch, leave him alone :D

Im beginning to wonder whether I should cancel my membership, sell my Skyline and quit my job just so that you will all know how much Im worth when you realise that you cant get tyres for the right price, you dont have anyone who is a wealth of automotive knowledge (cos I am so smart S.M.R.T) and you dont have anyone to pay out on.

At the moment Im writing my naughty list and its filling up fast. :)

    • 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
