Did you unload the bike without any probs?

Def some awesome street machines there. Bruno cleaned up with his 55 Chev ... 8 awards and the top honour itself!!!!!

yeah mate it went very smooth, unlike the loading on where I chipped the bottom of the front fender again, lol

wow, that is one awsome chopper.

if you don't mind me asking how much did it cost to get all the custom parts for it.

PM me if u dont want it public.

But wow that thing is sexual.

thanks bud..........all I'll say is, the back wheel is worth more than 1/2 the cars on this forum

I wasn't going to mention that ... but seeing as you did ... time to trim a bit more off then? :laugh:

My camera is a bit funny with shiny toys and lighting sometimes. Doesn't focus properly ... but it is an Olympus :P

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.

No money won but apart from the trophy, I managed to score a complimentary bag full of Meguiars product.

As far as power is concerned Damo, approx 100hp according to manufacturer's specs but it's more of a torque monster and as Dan said, it'll tow a road train.

I'll try & load up some pics now.

I should have entered the Brutale eh Pete? :laugh: Only one european bike entrant in the (other) bike show. Might even think about entering the TLR into it again with its new Rizla looks ... after some of the guys were asking why it hasnt been in the show for the last 2 years :P

Shoulda stuck around for the awards.

Cara took out best graphics!

And the man Pete took out Best chopper ...

yeah congrats thats a sweet bike sled :( you deffinatley deserved to win.

ps did you take her home with the bike? :) if so thats 2 sweet rides you've got now :D

i thought it was pretty crap this year, didnt appeal to me this year.

but the funniest thing was they where all talking up the vx clubby saying it should be around 300rwkw's and when they put it on the dyno it struggled to make 212rwkw's which was its top read out, but before they had that on they had the D&T old datto ute on there and that made 198rwkw and that was only a 4 banger, everyone was laughing at the clubby when it got that read out haha!

ok your wrong i was working on the tyrepower stand where the vx clubby came from the owner of the car wasn't there so troy the manager of the stand took the car to the dyno told the announer that it should make 200kws not 300

seams to me 212kws is more then that also it made 220kws later in the day, should have made more but the limter was set to 5500 somehow and it was running like poo

also the d&t datto ute is a mitsubishi and its a gen 3 v8 not a 4 banger

please get your facts right next time

    • 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
