yeah

guys I was waiting around forever and just one person turned up... :happy: skylinegtts

I thought no one was coming so I just went home.

Very dissapointing no one turned up and once again money spent on food...

Sorry to anyone that did come after I left...

I was there until 9.35am

Sorry that people didn't bother to show up. Hope you didn't go too far out of your way with food?? Maybe you can save some for the freezer or something.

All of us from Nowra were ready to go (I even didn't go out drinking last night because I knew I had to get up today), and I'm sure those coming from Canberra were too. At least you know that if there is a next time all of us from down South will be showing up.

I think that being in the morning can be a drag but this time was based on distance and time - would have got here by around 1 or so I rekon so that would have been the right time for BBQ. I know if us down here want to come on a Sunday cruise to go out to the Blue Mountains etc we have to be out the door by around 7am to meet up with you in Sydney by 9:30am. Kind of a compromise thing. And no I'm not having a go at anyone so don't take it the wrong way.

Thanks for putting in the effort to organise us - I know its not an easy thing especially when the weather gets in the way. Hope that maybe you can still make it down sometime when its a bit nicer. I'm sure we would all be keen to just meet up in Wollongong or something next time...

Have a good one, and thanks again :P

wow...

Very disappointing that people didn't show when they said they would.

sux that you were put out buying meat etc...

at least now you can have a monster barbie @ home :)

dan, you should come on the wisemans cruise, it's not organised by you, so no headaches :stupid:

yeah... cant believe no one showed up... we did get unlucky with the weather though

you guys should have caught up to us... we were waiting there for nearly an hour and no one turned up

Like I said man, I had a legit reason not to be there and am happy to pay my share for food as I had previously told you I would be there.

Thats all good Adam, just for the record Adam offered to pay his share via PM...

I appreciate your generousity but its all good... ;)

Mate your a very genuine person!

I look forward to organising another cruise in the up coming month or so! :P

    • 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
