I have just one thing to say. Fag christmas lights, they suck down some power!!! If we have power shortages its because of those barstards, and its going to mean my aircon wont be working either, and I'll get hot! That and we have one house down the road, they have just gone spastic with lights, but with no sense of design or order. Just more lights the better! I come round the corner and Im nearly blinded!

(for those who take life far too seriously, especially their internet life, this is mearly a bit of a joke, christmas lights are good when well done, with some thought put in to the set up, however the above example is too true these days, and we have one down our street and it annoys me)

lights cruise says fender bender to me

i hate having to stickybeak while driving

(edit: actually that sounds bitchy, even though mushy knows me

i should say instead that this soudns like a really nice thing to do, but i'd be too scared of hitting someone)

well i just want some locations so others can go there and for the families they get to take the kids out and have a look as well. If a cruise happens later on so be it but lets start with some locations

sorry was a bit harsh, i drove through bracken ridge the other day and noticed a few houses had gone all out, dont know streets buit was atleast one per street.

Also here at newport, it seems not many people do they front yards, abut alot of them decorate there pontoons/jettys and bacl fences for all to see.. Looks kinda nice at night with the lights reflecting of the water.

AND i noticed last year that northlakes was like a christmans tree, almsot everyone does it

p.s im not gay

Not sure of the street but if you turn left after the B.P. on Old Northern Rd Albany creek there is a couple of good houses there.

There is a house and a church on Appleby Rd Stafford heights near the Bi-lo.

Church on Muandrell tce at West Chermside.

    • 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
