Well didn't some of us have some fun last Sunday. 2 Skylines,,,both R32's one a gts-t and the other a gtr.

The gts-t boys (Dad & Son)just simply drove the wheels off the car all day!!!.

The absolute lunatic in the gtr had me laughing and clapping all day with his fanbloodytastic burn outs and launchs.

Michele and I had a great running battle all day,,,sucked in girl I won because I know the rules better than you and I got lucky,,,. I have to admit your car is faster than mine though.

Dirtgarage you really need to get your head around some of this stuff and stop posting comments of what you haven't actually ever done.

Love as always

Neil.

sucked in yourself, I have the printout which says I did a faster time than you :P and that was with them slowing me down 60m before the finishing line.

You haven't got an official printout that is faster than mine :D:banana::banana: even if it didn't count cos they gave me a rerun for slowing me down at least I know I gotcha :banana:

tell ya wot... I'll scan up my fastest time and you can scan up yours :P

Its a damn fast hillclimb though, I wouldn't like to lose it through there at those speeds. Don't think I've ever been in 4th gear for a hillclimb before LOL

oh and a certain open wheeler won Shannons Insurance "Car of the Day" in Saturdays Show'n'Shine woohooooo :banana::P:D

I really didn't expect a racecar to get that trophy, there were some impressive looking cars there on Saturday.

oh and a certain open wheeler won Shannons Insurance "Car of the Day" in Saturdays Show'n'Shine woohooooo :banana::P:D

maybe it was rigged?

LOL

nah j/k

Well done guys!!!

If its on next year I'll be there :banana:

Michele scan away sweety,,,but you can't use the one that caused your re-run. Your re-run makes it null and void. Got ya on a technicality.

It would have been a fantastic time though if they didn't pull you up!!!.

Ah yes forgot to congratulate you on the show and shine win,,,well done. I told you they would love your car,,,It is very pretty and the fact it's black,low and runs massive big slicks makes it a crowd pleaser.

I was very releived to see Stephen was okay after that shunt,,,he is such a nice guy. After talking to him it seems the rear spoilers mount failed.

Evil you really need to get sunday's off

Baron you don't need balls ,,,shit I only got little ones and Michele hasn't even got a bag to put them in. I never drive ten tenths I just drive with what little brains I have.

Neil.

Jess we had a ball. Michele is a crack up,,,you have to have your witts about you or she'll take the piss outa ya all day. Her 36.51 actually doesn't count but given that backoff at the finish line you could just about give her a low 35 maybe even a high 34.

My times were:-

1/ 39.139 @125 kays

2/ 38.008 @ 136 kays

3/ 37.225 @ 142 kays

4/ 36.621 @ 145 kays

Neil.

Nice times guys!!

You two are funny picking on one another! missed out by .2 :laughing-smiley-014:

I am spewn I missed it, would of loved to try it but staying focus on Dutton Rally in Nov at the moment

Will have to give it ago next year..I do love the hillclimbs

oh, and why didn't the quick time count? did they find you had used ferarri technical data? or had a 'fuel cooler' that could hold 2 litres of fuel? lol. and why did you have to brake 60m before the finish?

Dirtgarage you really need to get your head around some of this stuff and stop posting comments of what you haven't actually ever done.

Smartass as always

Neil

might get to one of these events one day...if i had a racecar...to busy building engines and working on other peoples cars to get my own back on the road. I need to be a little more selfish and look after myself for a change instead of making others my priority.

Couldnt even get up over there to spectate as my daughter flew to Japan on Sunday so had a busy weekend with her.

lol

Hey Neil, how did the skylines go? What sort of times did they get?

Jess,,,focus girl,,,do your self proud and keep us posted of course.

Chris,,,don't know mate no times are anywhere on the net that I can find. I should ring them!!!

Beer boy,,,If you get a re-run for whatever reason the time you posted for the re-run doesn't count. Normally it doesn't matter but Michele was on a flyer and actually posted a great time and god only knows what time she would have actually done.

The reason Michele had to brake was crap because of a stupid offical that thought it was dangerous. There was this mad XY Falcon (Supercharged/Methed/Tubbed) broken down at the time ticket guy ,,,he was past any danger spot,,,I went out in front of Michele and nobody waved their hands at me. I pulled up at the time slip guy and he simply waved me around the dead old piece of crap.

Dirtgarage,,,mate you don't need a race car,,,be selfish and come and have some fun. I'm like you and love winning but at the end of the day if I pull my helmet off and I am smiling thats all that matters.

Neil.

It was fun taking the p!ss outta Neil... the look on his face is PRICELESS!!! But don't worry, he dished some of his own back (and I wouldn't have it any other way, I enjoy the banter).

    • 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
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
