some nice cars out there, lil dissapointed by the boys in blue over use of the yellow sticker.

they had 3 cars and a defect bus there attacking randomly as many people as possible while the cruise was leaving. showed a lot of disrespect to the memorial and to the charity we were donating to in my opinion, very disapointing.

Some awesome cars out and a great turn out. Route was awesome - though I took the chain of ponds way there and bet everyone to Lobethal lol drive back was sweet as

Pity about the dozen or so defects. Cars out for a good cause and defects were handed left right and centre.

cruise was great, the falcon held its own through the hills surprisingly lol.

Was a big shame about the cops, completely agree with what others said, shows disrespect to the reason this cruise is organised! Should be ashamed of themselves!

Well done to mark and julie on another succesful memorial cruise, hope you raised a decent amount.

Well i rocked up at 6:30 an the Mrs realised she forgot her smokes, so drove to the hotel to grab a pack. Decided after seeing that cop car circling to give it a miss. Luckily i did by the looks of it.

Police should be ashamed of themselves, disgraceful considering the cause everyone was there for.

jesus christ. enough with the knocking of police. they came in and defected a 180 after he was a bit of a muppet leaving the meet point about half an hour earlier. and then he decided to come back and bought the police with him. police cars had been cruising through since i got there at about 6:30 and not doing anything to anyone until the guy in the 180. he got what was coming.

i think in total there were 2 or 3 defects, which out of the nigh on 500 (!!!) cars is a pretty good result, and by good result, i mean LESS THAN ONE PERCENT! obviously bad news for the guys that got done, but if the police really were out to get us, how many people do you think wouldve left the meet point without a fancy new sticker on their windscreen?

yes i think the police shouldve exercised a hasty retreat after defected the first car, but honestly, if you werent there and paying attention, dont comment.

Fair enough for being a hero to be defected.

If you think the cops that were cruising through were not somehow responsible for the defect station your dillusional.

Oh and i was there paying attention til 7pm hence me leaving, read my post.

Either way hats off to the organisers big turn out once again.

Police bringing out a van/bus to the meet point?! That's a bit excessive... don't you think?

It wouldn't be possible for them to defect every single car there anyway... they'd have to block off every exit, have enough police to go to every car, etc etc etc.

People were being defected by just sitting in the car park...

Man, were you even there?!? We had to leave early cos we had a call from someone "in the know" saying that there was a whole pack of police coming down to the meet point to defect us all!!

no, i wasnt there...

... wait a second, i was! ah damn, my memory aint too good apparently.

arrived at 6:35. saw a police car cruising about, having a quick chat to the olds, and not giving anyone any trouble. and if it werent for a certain car driver being a bit silly, it all wouldve been avoided. daniel, it wouldve been quite possible for them to defect every car in that parking lot. 1 police car at each exit, and officers moving through the lot defecting.

anyways, enough about the damn police coming in and 'ruining the cruise' and about how they should be 'ashamed'. it was a good cruise *regardless*, even the people that were defected agree on that point.

Anyways, was a MAAADDDD cruise , had a massive amount of fun. Was about 8 or 9 cars back from the front on the way back from lobethal and the pace was pretty good! Congrats to the organisers of the day, they did a great job of managing a bit over 450 cars and raised a good amount of money for a great cause. Will def be along next year :huh:

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      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
