Warlord, firstly let me state i am not defending travis, he clearly dropped some unwarranted comments.

But seriously, your reply (or counter attack) was rediculously childish. "poo boy"(???), come on ask yourself is that not the response of an angry 12 year old??

Like i said im not defending his initial agitating response, and youve certainly done some great things with your car, but dignify yourself with some decent and mature responses rather than this schoolboy-like retaliation.

Keep up the good work

thanks for your comment ,if it ever happens to you one day i hope you respond in the same way....because shit kickers like that should join in the spirit of sau and help people with things and encourage members. as for all my school boy spirited comments, id rather use a childish response to highlight the childish comments that were made.

thanks again.

good stuff WARLORD...use the negatives to spur you on to make them eat their words.

I copped heaps of flack when i first came out and said i wanted to run 10's on low-mounts...back then it was "no way without slicks and NOS" "no way with a full weight car" "why waste your time and money when you can easily do it with a big single" "no way with a synchro box" etc etc

I ended up running bloody 9's...lol

If you need any help with anything mate just shoot me a PM.

A good manifold will see you higher numbers,faster spool and a great exhaust note.

Have seen this car and met the owner, have to say its very tidy, and one i would love to line up against at the track, as both our engine setups are almost identical.

Nick, with the larger throttle and cooler piping did you notice a decrease in response at all? Or does it still feel as responsive as it did? Can't wait to see how you go with the water-meth and nitrous :blink:

to tell you the truth to me its better more response and harder acceleration i noticed the difference even on the dyno look at the way thew power comes on wait till its tuned.

i think that old (the larger throttle body does nothing for you is bull) my opinion .

    • 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
