I still cannot for the life of me understand how you managed to get this close to the GT500 car BB...

It boggles my mind.

Isn't it time you admitted your true feelings for the Beer Baron Adam?

Im sorry? You wouldnt be insinuating I'm homosexual by any chance now would you? Far be it for someone the caliber of an upstanding man such as yourself, right?

Actually, i quite fancy you nickyboy.

あほ。

lol, I don't mind. I know I'm all that.

and you are right. I look like a bloodnut in those pics. it's that late afternoon fuji sun that does it. I'm not a ginger ninja. I swear.

personally I think I blend in fairly well. I even dutifully stood my ground to get a good possie for like 20 min before it rolled out!

the strange thing is you would think being 6'2" would disuade the much smaller japanese gentleman from pushing me too much, but I have learnt that trying to come between a japanese man with a camera, and something worth shooting is like trying to stop a shinkansen with your hand as it heads into a tunnel. you have a high chance of getting knocked down.

Yep and throw a scantily clad woman into the mix and youve got mayhem stampede.

lol, scantily clad women mean I have to watch where I step as there are usually so many guys laying on the ground for up-skirt that there is a high danger of one of them accidentally copping my size 12 shoe on the back of the head, or even worse on the top of they mega yen canon lense.

The top has got to go.

Is that a disposable camera? I could have sworn you were cranking at a wheel on the thing...

lol, yeah it's one of those throw away jobbies. canon 400d. I was probably adjusting settings with the wheel on the top. :laugh:

and nytsky, hands of the jumper mate! it is a nice jumper! just colours are all a bit weird in that late afternoon sun. I mean fark it's hugo boss. though I must admit it is a bit reminiscent of freddy krugers outfit.

and I guess it's true that troy and I were separated at birth. all this time I was a bloodnut and never knew it. it took japanese technology to show my inner ginger. :D

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      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
