Hi all,

just wondering if anyone was interested in this,

i film and edit for a living, got a cold at the moment and been stuck in the house all week editing, need to get away from the computer, i found a bit of excerise gets fid of the cold faster :(

Been dying to film some skylines, looking at a 2 - 3 min edit of some1s car, just pointless driving around shots, inside and out, things like that. mostly just make up some shots.

As it's a long weekend, any1 want to do this tomorrow (monday 2/6) should take about an hour or so to film (nice to meet some other skyline drivers), mostly finding different locations. Would be good if there were a few lines. gives me more footage to play with :( would b better if could do in the afternoon. north or south of the river. i don't mind going for a drive :(

just an idea :blink:

i was thinking along the coast, it's been done a million times, but might b a good place to start. between hilarys and trigg, lots of hills, trying to find somewhere with little traffic. also thinking abt city (st georges tce) or any industrial areas.

not looking for any burnouts, racing, or anything like that, just some clean footage of your car, also want some engine sounds :D

might b a bit late in the afternoon, but how abt 4pm start, the light will be disappearing, which is what i'm after, should make the cars stand out better :D

no probs, if any1 wants to come, meet at the new car parks @ hillarys at 4pm, the ones on the coast side, if ur leaving hillarys, heading towards trigg (north), the 1st ones on the right, might have to do a uturn depending on which way ur coming.

this is not a cruise, no maps, nothing like that, just in case any1 was thinking :D

pretty much just use the coast, then if anybody wants, head back to the city (or there abouts), looking to get more driving shots, means i have to go ahead, set up camera, then film away, thats why coast might b good, can find a few good spots, people can do uies and we can film some more :D

haha, this should b fun :teehee:

can't stay to long at the car park as the light will b fading, if any1 is gonna b late, just head north on the coast from hillarys. u'll either c some skylines or me filming ;) will b hanging around the hillarys 2 trigg area 4 a while

or contact me on 041 904 5943

thanks

steve

    • 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.
