Awesome stuff there Rob....anything new to look out on that nice looking 33

not yet :D except in 2 weeks time will have cam gear ,hks boost control major service done and a few other little things they have sucked my bank dry for now still got some big plans just waiting for more money :(

mate there was no way there were 20 cars defected there were only about 30 on the cruise and AFAIK there were 0 defects but yes there was a fairly bad accident that was caused (as the story goes) by a person that left the scene and not by either of the cars involved.

Ah, I saw a 180SX with front end damage being winched onto a flat bed, and a rear-end crashed RX7 in a ditch on the Salisbury Highway - Port Expressway this arvo. We could not figure out how such an accident could even happen. Must have been tools following much too closely and someone tried to merge from Hanson Road or something.

People wonder why these types of cruises are a bad idea .....

I don't think you would want to advertise any more 'elite' cruises on SAU.

    • 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.
