It was nice to finally spend a weekend not doing house reno's! It was also great to catch up with some familiar faces and meet some new ones. My apologies if I didn't manage to match the face, name, and forum name, or I have forgotten to mention you below.

Thanks to the all that put in the time and effort to organise the SAU entry, well done. I can see SAU becoming a regular EH entrant and in time possibly taking out a club award.

Well done to Ryan and his better half, and Luke, for the trophy winning efforts, and Chad, Damo, and Anthony for your efforts on the dyno. Chad, you might not have reached the lofty heights set by Alex’s VLT (near enough to 580rwkw on Sunday) by there is nothing wrong with over 300 on a very warm day! That Meguiar’s detailer stuff works well mate, look at how glossy your beast is in Troy’s photo.

Dion, good to meet you, and all the best with the repairs mate.

Pete, thanks for the input over the weekend, I owe you big time mate! You will please to know that not only did Jodi win a bunch of trophies for her outstanding XU1 but she then proceeded to drive the car home from the show – she also gave me thumbs up whilst cruising alongside for the first part of the journey.

Ruby, keep the change mate, just add it to the club coffers.

Dave, Damo is on the money, basic details are in my sig'.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys, much appreciated.

you're welcome buddy boy......thanks for hanging around most of the weekend and answering alot of the public's questions.....you were a much deserved winner IMHO

No problem at all. Thanks mate.

Matt, at one stage did you have "dyno: is a great diagnoctic tool" in your sig? :P or am i thinking of someone else.

I did indeed mate. I've changed my sig (last year from memory) but I still view the dyno as another tool for working on and improving one's car... it just happens to double as a bit of fun :)

Chad, 300.6 is still over 300 :)

I only just made it to 300

I wouldnt be worried with that

your power curve is extremely linear and only tapers out on the top end - excellent power vs response... perfect ratio for your trackwork and daily, would make an excellent street car (i'm pretty much aiming for that, but maybe to tweak it a little more to the left at the expense of top end power)

what did you get from the dyno dynamics set?

-D

lol chad, you seem dissappointed to have ONLY 300 at the treads?

fkn wish i had the chance to drive a 300kw 4wd animal.....

trust6 looks like a weapon! that engine bay omg... noice

366 rwkw? :P whats traction? haha

good work people, nice line up.

    • 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.
