For the benefit of those who haven't been on a previous SAU observation cruise, this is how it works....

The starting location will be PMd the week before the event. We're running the event under a CAMS permit so you need to have at least one SAU NSW Club Member in your car to be involved.

On the day, we have a quick briefing then we give you a set of instructions/clues on where you need to drive, along with questions about things you should see on the way.

Cars start about 2 minutes apart & the drive itself should take about 2 hours to complete.

If it all goes bad and you get lost, we give you a special envelope with instructions on how to find the finish.

Once you get to the end location we have a barbie, give you the answers to the questions and announce the winner.

Hope this helps?

Light bickering commences between navigator and driver (if one or the other is the other's significant other...)

If it all goes bad and you get lost...

Bickering turns to abusive yelling.

...we give you a special envelope with instructions on how to find the finish.

The rest of the journey is done in absolute silence.

Once you get to the end location we have a barbie, give you the answers to the questions (sexual bunnies), announce the winner and you kiss and make up after a few hours.

Hope this helps?

    • 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

    • 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.
