I new you had it in the bag sat but had to keep it to myself well done .... :P

ah ya bugger, thought you'd let me sweat it out a bit did you?! :blink: Couldn't believe how many nice customs there are in Adelaide now, so it was definitely a tight one me thinks. Andy Stevens from Hyperformance Cycles had some awesome rides there......I guessed one of them was worth around $150 grand (as much as an R35, lol)!!

I saw Martin (Hostile) from a distance & thought we'd eventually bump into each other but it didn't happen unfortunately. :P

again, thanks for all the great comments guys.

Congrads Sled awsome bike...

I love boostworks VL! awsome car!

its not a boostworx car anymore!!! its a Southern HiTech Dyno Tune car now :) :) :)

I only saw it down at Boostworx about 2 months ago!!

Far as I know, Shaun was just too busy to fit the VL in before the show, so it was taken to John Keen.

John kicked it off his dyno when it was spitting oil out the exhaust. :(

1/2 a dyno run doesn't mean its a Southern HiTech car.

One and only post for the year........

This ones for the hater haters(you know exactly who you are)

GAY

p.s. Since when does a atmo R34 come under "Extreme Horsepower"??

BTW The VL was built at Boostworx.............. It will always be a Boostworx car!!

Have a nice christmas....

Car isnt anyones bar mine.. ive put in all the hard yards lately and built it pretty much myself in the last year with changing things and getting

more work done..Shaun has helped me out alot over the years and thats why i have the stickers on there..

car needs abit of a change now so stickers will probably be coming off... nothing against shaun or boostworx..

john keen did tune the car before extreme cos shaun was to flat out..

    • 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
