Hi all,

Well i walked out to where my car was parked, and I can honestly say thet nothing prepares you for the moment when you stand gutted on the side of the road, staring at where your car should be, feeing completely lost. I know it wasnt the best skyline on the road, I was taking car of it tho, I have spent so many hours fixing her up...

So please can you keep an eye out for my car, its a black r32 gts4 with a primer grey boot and rear passenger side. It has all my work tools in it, and my wallet... and its not insured, they wouldnt insure it till the damage (caused by another asshole who tried to steal the wing) was fixed. If you see it, or know anything please call me on 0400 996522 I will be eternally grateful, thanks

Dave

It's back home safe, we went through two dodgy car trailers untill I said to Nick 'thats it I am very close to loosing it in spectacular fashion, we are getting a tow truck.' It was found on the back roads over mt stuart, probably on the way to glenorchy and further suburbs where it would have been stripped and I would never see it again... but fourtunatley (I guess) they cant drive (or read/write probably) and hit a curb and broke the castor rod on the passenger side, which sent the tyre into the guard, destroyed the tyre and my side skirt. I was also lucky they didnt find my wallet or take my tools, however they did find the sub and amp in the boot and the face from my head unit.

Id like to say a big thank you to everyone today for thier support, especially Todd, gmb, gerard and damo - take up damo on his offer and get an immobiliser if you dont have one, I never want to have to go through another day like today, I dont think anyone would.

Goodnight and good luck, Im going to get drunk now.

SCUM! The only time I would be happy losing my car like that is if they killed themselves in it!

Same with me man - as much as I dont want to see it come to that - if they do steal it, I wish they wrap themselves around a pole - teach the f**kers to steal shit....

back to the thread though - i hope you do find it man, I can only imagine how you must be feeling....;)

Edit: shit - didnt read the end :D

Well after getting it safely locked away I sat down, drank two beers and passed out... I will put up a bit of a damage report later on, but i am off to melbourne tomorrow to see gomez :happy: so the car can wait, I dont want to have to think about it right now.

Cheers guys

    • 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
