A big change from what i previously posted. Steve (MADAZ) has called me with an idea.

We will be contacting the Mawson Lakes Hotel (venue non-negotiable, chosen due to accessibility and parking) and speaking to them about hiring their function room for a night in early March. We are going to go around the the local businesses that support SAU and vice versa, to ask if they would like to donate, and if they do, invite them along to the dinner. The Advertiser / channel 9 will also be contacted to either provide a story or coverage of the event in their relative media, which will be great advertisement for the Mawson Lakes Hotel, SAU and the Business Traders who often save our asses week in, week out.

Steve and I are also looking for a few volunteers who can help with organising, or have any contacts for Business Traders who want to donate. Donations may be in the form of cash, or in products, as we can raffle off or have an auction on the night, all proceeds going to victims of the current Victoria Bushfires of course. PM me if your up for donating some time and effort into the event.

The date for the event will be announced as soon as we settle more details, most likely Tuesday or Wednesday night.

There are alot of natural disasters happening in the world almost monthly, but when Australia has a disaster that will more than likely double the death toll of Ash Wednesday, Australians can and will support those who have lost Cars, Homes, Friends and Family.

Thanks Damo bit hard for me to always post at work

any and all help will be greatly appreciated

there will be a donation fee for non business's to attend yet to be confirmed but in leaning towards $10/ head for normal people and $50 for business traders

this thread will discuss idea's for a little bit

definately keen to help out where i can. Happy to approach some businesses i know and maybe even my work. Might be an idea to get something in writing to take around to businesses, rather than us just rocking up and telling them, give them something to read.

Great idea guys, could be some great exposure for all involved and a great chance to help out those that have lost so much through the fires.

Just uploaded a pic from a friend of mine so we all get somewhat of an idea if we havent already.

This is her parents backyard.. the only thing that saved them was the river directly behind them so it acted as a break and a resource for the fire crews

    • 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
