Here are a few of the better vids from the weekend in Armidale.

This was my first outing in the new car so there were plenty of mistakes

but I had lots of fun. My best run of the day was third fastest on one of the tracks,

could have been quicker but was haveing too much fun getting sideways.

Hi Matt,

Did you get any videos of my Silvia running?

Was good to see some other imports out there having a run.

Cheers Brett

Sorry mate no footage of your car but i think my mate with the Z20 may have some.

Also might add the winner of the day was a Honda Prelude......With V tech.. :P

Yeah bit hard to beat front wheel drives, but I know who had the most fun on the day, and it definately wasn't him.

Got the results in the mail today and it turns out i got the best time in the last stage after being asked to town it down.

Funny, that was the most boring run of the day for me, no sideways action at all.

neat and tidy is always quicker than trying to wring its neck wheel spinning.

awesome result...faster than Brett eh?...lol

On that course he was faster than me, but it did suit the GTR, was the only course during the day that was wet, it rained just before the last course, and the silvia is not the best in the wet with 244rwkw and bald road tyres.

Was a great day though and good to see someone out there in a GTR having a go.

BTW I ended up finishing 5th outright and 1st in class. Not too bad considering the power and how much it was on the limiter sideways through out the day. Car was run basically the same as when run at Compak Attak in March, save for different rear tyres.

Now that ive had a taste of what this car has to offer im keen as to get it to a real track. I will be going to wsid next wednesday night and then hopefully to a track day, maybe wakefield park.

Will be good to see what it runs down the strip, what sort of power does it have? Keep us informed as to how you go at WSID.

    • 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.
