Hey everyone

There has been a bit of talk on some forums about animal cruelty, which spurred a few thoughts about helping out the RSPCA.

The RSPCA has a simple and direct mission, which is To prevent cruelty to animals by actively promoting their care and protection.

In respect of this, we have organized an all day cruise, BBQ and social event to help raise funds to donate to the RSPCA to help ensure that they are able to keep doing such a fantastic job.

The details for the cruise are as follows:

Date: Sunday 8th April 2007

Meeting Time: 11am Departing Time: 12pm Midday

Meeting Place: Harry’s Diner, Windsor.

**There will be a South Side mini meet up (for Gold Coast/Brisbane South Side people ) at Springwood IKEA at 10am LEAVING at 10:30am, from there, we will meet the rest at Harry's Diner**

Destination: To be disclosed shortly ;) But will be heading north, into the mountains.... :(

Donations: There will be route maps available on the day at the meeting point, a gold coin donation will be required for this map. You will also be given an RSPCA Charity Cruise sticker with your map, to put on your window so you can show your support.

- There will also be RSPCA merchandise to buy, and any other donations are encouraged.

- There will be a nice fun mix of cruise roads, and the twisty mountain roads to keep things interesting.

- I will be supplying food for a BBQ at the end of the cruise, and canned drinks will be sold for $1... a friendly local butcher has agreed to donate meat. but any other food you would like to bring for yourself, or seats if you think of it, feel free to do so.

- If you have a CB or UHF Radio, please bring it along, as we will have a designated channel to chat on and mess around with.

As there will be news and media crews present, I ask for everyone to be on your BEST BEHAVIOR… this is a Fund Raising Cruise for a good cause, so please keep a good name to all car clubs involved, our sponsors, and of course the RSPCA.

I am currently lining up Sponsors for this cruise, also getting a few companies and business to donate. If you know of any workshops, business's, or companies that might like to get involved, they will be mentioned, and will get coverage. Good way to get a companies name out there in a positive light, and support a good cause at the same time.

Sponsors So Far

- True Sound Productions – For all your sound and lighting needs.

bumpity bump

not far away now guys and girls

the RSPCA bank account details are now on the front page, first post...for those people that cant make the cruise, but still want to donate. i was going to create a separate account (as it would be easier to tally how much was raised), however, i want people to feel assured that they know where it is going (some people wouldnt want to put money into a personal/non business account.

SO... if you do, can you please send me a pm letting me know, just so i can add it to the raised amount. smile.gif and also so i can let them know (as they need to account for deposits into their account when the statements come ect)

also, if you do, please put 2007 Cruise for a Cause Donation as a reference on the transfer.. that way it will be easier for them to track.

thanks

Due to unforeseeable problems that have arisen, and after talking it over with a few people involved, This cruise has now been postponed until further notice.

Please tell anyone that was going to come that isnt on this forum that it will no longer be held this weekend.

I do apologise for the last minute change, however, it has only just come to my attention that this cruise can not run

thanks to everyone that donated, the money will be sent to the RSPCA 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.
    • 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
