ive got a set of purple underbody neons you can have :(

I have some neons as well. I'm never going to need them on the track.. so donate.

FYI - Gadg owns Provex. He has control over this project, and as an SAU Supporter / Sponsor he will be donating his time and workshop for this project. Therefore tools / welders aren't required. But wiring / spray paiting is something we will need.

Provex are very capable with all metalwork skills. SAU members just need to donate some parts and ideas and perhaps some time if Gadg needs.

I say we need to give it a big stereo and a mini-bar or ice box.

Cougar - I'm away on the weekend, but if anyone wants to take the Lada to get the trailer to pickup the BBQ to take to the workshop to leave for John who'll drink the scotch that lay in the house that Jack built...

Then let me know - is all yours.

* anyone not up to speed with nursery rhymes - clicky

Or even better the MetallicA song.. Click

Anyway should be ok can tow with the 3.5 cylinder gemini. Still faster and safer than the Russian Tank.

hay man can we do one night say after work not worried about a time just need to call me a tee it up other wise im talking to dad tomorro and i can find out if he will be at the factory on saterday?

A Coupe half-cut is kinda hard to work with - makes it more or less impossible to keep the rear seats, or even the roof & rear glass for that matter. That said - Cutting the C-pillars lets the rear seat area be used as a bigg-ass icebox, with it's lid sealing around where the rear quarter-glass & rear screen went.

I'm having a hard time thinking-up how to get 8-burners worth of BBQing fun into a skyline boot . . . Has anyone actually tried to get anything bigger than an overnight bag through that opening?!?!?!?! ! ! It might take a more radical mod- like attaching the taillights to the bootlid, and having the hotplate slide out??

Maybe a big square-ish plate that rises up & back from the boot, with some of those weak-ass Ceramic turbo wheels as the burner knobs?? ? ! :happy:

just so you all know, over the last 3 days we've been having our spray booth fitted. not too sure how long til it's passed for safety and operational, but i spoke to my brother in law and he said if you supply the paint, he can paint it. or even if any of you know of anyone who can paint cars etc just get them to come in and get to work :rofl:

    • 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 
    • 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.
