OK the 11thNov.

A Buddy I chat with on Classic Skylines is coming up to see me and pick up half a dozen wheels I've got for him. He is coming up in his PNV DR30 with

(Ithink) an L28t, which is the US turboed version of the 280Z motor, or similar

His name is GHOSTRIDER (aka Dennis) and many of you will have seen his

dedication to all things from Factory 5.

If we can settle on the 11th and a venue, I will chat Dennis to be there.

If we all fax SKA a $50 note he might get here too.LOL.

I dont mind whether its up the coast or down south, I'll be there.

Thanks for the offer Hugh, but seriously I dont need your money. I do have money in the bank that I could use for petrol to get down there and back, but it is all allocated as savings for bills and the like.

It's all about priorities, and sorry to say but feeding my family comes before going down to brisbane for a get together.

Thanks for the offer but, muchly appreciated :( I'll be there in spirit.

That said I just realised too that there are much more important things you could be putting that $50 to. Like I would be much happier to hear that with that $50 you took out your family for dinner somewhere or took your wife out for a nice dinner and movie, or a billion other things!

Anyway now that the violin music has started playing, back on topic Ska!! :(

We went down the coast today for breakfast. Sure there are alot of important things in life. I cancelled a 50 year reunion in Perth cause my little bloke has a FU elbow and looks like he needs surgery for it, on top of a

repeat of his ankle op.

At this stage it's the broadwater carpark Surfers paradice on the 11 Nov at about 2.30pm. I think most are happy with this. All i want to do is put a face to the names and check out some nice cars as well as taking some photoes. I was also wanting to through around an idea for a cruse early next year say Feb or Mar.

We at in or around Brisbane could head north for a couple of hours and SKA-Cyrs could head south for a couple of hours and we would meet in the middle some where. This would make the cost of the drive about the same for everyone. This is only my idea and it is open for debate.

Ummmmmmmmm I live 7 hours north of Brisbane :mad: so half way would be like Gin Gin :mellow: And there aint nothing at Gin Gin that is that exciting. Trust me, the BWCP in the early arvo is good, there is a great covered park and as the sun goes down the kids pirate ship playthingy gets the shade and there are some electric bbq's there to cook something on too. Also if you wait around till later in the night it fills up with hundreds of all kinds of makes and models of souped up cars :(

Hugh, Dennis is an SAU-NSW club member (or former member/exec), but as far as I know he isn't as active on the forums here as much as he used to be.

7 Hours Ska???

I live in Sydney and I'm comin up to see my friend so I might/probably be there but alas in my 1UZ Toyota.

Was once going to buy a Stagea, but how could I pass up 6 bolt mains and forged pistons standard. :D

Any of you guys going to this:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=140364&hl=

There was 6 or 7 stagea's at it last year, no I didnt make it last year, and wont this year either, <sighs>

Will be tring hard to get to this

Have to get the car finished, along with a new roof and brick work to the house by then.

There is just not enough time on the week-ends to buid 300sqm + of house by yourself on the week-ends and build cars at the same time

Unfortunitly that is why I will have to miss the Qld get together

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
