I'm skipping out on tonight - but will hopefully be there next Friday with Rosie if all goes to plan. So is Eiji just checking the carpark out or is everyone tracking over there?

What are people's thoughts if I created a FB page in regards to fan-made events?* (Non official events). This page will post up Friday night meet times / places and even a poll for "Who is going" or a post. People can show their interest and a mutual place can be agreed upon instead of 50% going to Grevillea and 50% going to another place. This place will also host and post fan-made SAU cruises - times, dates, location and all. I know a lot of people don't browse SAU but still go to meet ups nonetheless - but most people tend to chill on FB - the idea is to address a bigger crowd of people.

*Fan-made events meaning insurance will not be provided on the day etc - there was confusion on official SAU events and people "meeting up for a BBQ". I'll be aiming for the "Meeting up for a BBQ" crowd.

Let me know what people think.

When is there ever confusion? There are a lot of people here that are not on Facebook and this forum format has been working fine. I wouldn't mind having the info on Facebook but if it's managed poorly, I'm going to ignore it. Also, I'm pretty sure some "Official SAU meet" events don't have insurance.

Polls are not helpful either. There are people that vote and they don't even participate. The people that regularly turn up at the Friday night meet already know we have been looking for a winter/rain spot. If you want to meet at Grevillea that's fine, everything is pretty much "Not Official" here. We've been thinking and looking for an alternative for over a year.

We've check out the carpark last week and going to trail it. I don't expect everyone to turn up but as I said most of the people that regularly attend are aware of this change. I'm sure people will still be at Gravillea and we will be there if this carpark falls through.

Twitter is for 14 year old's Rob. I'm now concerned as to why you're on Twitter. lol

It was when SAU was Crapping out all the time and you could see progress updates on Twitter... That is all I soooo Swear.

The weather for Friday - Carpark or Park?

If I get Rosie back in time with no hassles - should be home by 3pm - I'll make the trip out to the meet.

I prob won't come to the carpark scene... Itl get too much attention for my liking tbh. If security decided to call the cops instead they would have a field day with defects. Seriously hope that doesn't happen though.

Hahaha... Last time I was kicked out of a carpark by security, I was Skating it... That was a fun place.

Last time security called the cops because me n mates were in a carpark, I ended up with a Court Date and a 12 mnth good behaviour Bond.

I'm getting too old for that stuff. :(

    • 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
