I remember when James was waiting to take delivery of that car, boy was he excited lol. It was around the same time you had that Red EVO VII GTA which I was thinking about :)

You should've bought it, you slack tart! That was a very cheap car, ended up going to a dealer in Melbourne.

well i think of it this way. you have now given her something to whige about so its waranted. but if you dont give her something to whinge about she will anyway.

so if you buy it you actually get something out of it and get whinged at. but if you dont buy it your still gunna get whinged at anyway.

you will never get women to stop whinging but at least u have a stunning new rig :down:

Hehehe, I have a series 8 RX-7 in my driveway for a few weeks and she drove it to work today, she's not a fan at all. Busted her fingernail in the doorhandle :whistling:

Need to have a camera on the bumper facing the exhaust (on the track) :down: That will get every flame LOL

plz tell me you seen the screamer pop a flame. have been told that its lets one go every now and again.

would look sweet to see them go off at the same time.

Spotted the new 370Z just outside of town today...... mmm, not convinced....

i reckon theyre freakin sweet. need to be sitting on the deck with fat wheels though, like an 18*10/19*11 stagger.

Think I spotted "ontheranch" this afternoon parked outside Northern Market at Gawler. A black R33 at Harvey Norman Munno Para. And 2 R33's on Little Paxton Street Willaston, 1 white, other I think was blue.

For those following my progress - it sat on $22K till the last couple of hours. Obviously I wasn't the only one watching lol

No wasn't me, although the new owner is a South Aussie. I did a fair bit of digging on it, turns out it's a personal import, but the inspection sheet didn't read real well on it, needed a fair bit of work. I was hoping to nab it for sub $30K, at $42K or whatever it ended up at, it wasn't such a good deal IMHO. I must admit, I already had some gunmetal grey 18"/19" Work rims picked out for it too hehehe.

But back to spotting things, a P plater in a white 260RS yesterday, giving it a bootful near TTP.

    • 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
