just thought id let yas know, rained heavily tonight with my car caught outside (visitin my girl), but no probs

first vents line up ove my intercooler piping and seem to run down quite readily away under the car

the 2nd set of vents are alright 2, i was worried maybe of a few exposed electricals that sit lower in the bay but they all came up clear (by that i mean didnt get wet, not got wet but worked still), n if youve ever seen rain in the wet up here youd know its a pretty good test

maybe water sitin in the bay however may promote rust and others nasties over time, so i might make some guttering in the near future anyway just to be safer rather than sorry

also... buying a new kit in the next 2 weeks so yeah, i realise the pics were probably set off a bit by the standard front, but I reckon still looks good, and was planning on the upgrade anyway just yeah.. like i said... decision was made for me with the mates extreme reversing stylings, lol

will post back in about a month i guess when the rest doesnt look so stock, hope it helps yas

that looks good... it seems not as agressive in those pics as I imagined.

What side skirts do you have on? they're a bit different.

Edge sidekirts, CMA style front bar (if I remember right), and some gtr2 rear pods

all from carmate.com

very happy with the overall look, altho may do the mirrors in the future

that many veilside kits up here on r33 (which im not a fan of on the r33 really) and a lot of other front bars didnt really grab me. wanted a unique look, think I got it. Waiting on some LED fog lights to arrive, then I'll shove them on too.

But back to original topic, the hood is good, id rate it ;)

    • 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.
