Know how ya feel, I'm still in the process of ordering stuff that I hope to have ON the car before DECA and I'm away in Melbourne this weekend... (I've lined up to pickup a part while I'm away... dedication lol)

Me too! The biggest modification I've ever done was replace the old, dirty air pod that came with the car.

Now I've gone all out and bought extractors, and hfc, but I don't I don't think I'll be able to pay for the installation before DECA!

We'll see. Would be nice to remove the stock exhaust though.

ISC are suppose to be pretty decent....much better than half the other stuff going around.

Think i might put in my rear strut brace today, not sure whether to cut a hole in the boot plastic or rip the kent out

rip it out I say then you can always put it back in if you want later.

My boot and rear of the car is stripped. :P

Once you get started it becomes addictive!

Extractors can be a bitch when it comes to bolts holding it on, especially if it's never been off. Have snapped a few bolts in the past working on exhaust =\

Yeah, I've heard horror stories. How do you get the bolts out then? Weld stuff to them and use that?

I installed my extractors myself, prior to that i had never done any work on my car myself.

Took me 7 or so hours but I was quite proud of myself

Hard part was figuring our whether the extractors come out the top of the car or the bottom lol

Just make sure you have a good socket set...i cringed everytime i was cracking the engine bolts.

Thanks god none of them broke

Thats on an S13....if you need a hand let me know

there is a guy from mornington (The stud/bolt doctor, something like that) i think his name is, he has a van and comes to you to get any snapped bolts/studs you have out. I have used him b4 as i had 2 broken manifold studs and it took him all of about a hour to do...

Sounds bloody handy, you coming to this deca or did you say u were working?

In breaking news... I have some semi slicks turning up tomorrow so no more jokes about my crap tyres :(

I was checking out those crap tyres last night and noticed large chunks missing out of them on the inside edge... guess they don't like drift and track days or camber...

I "think" they are RE55's I did ask but I have kind of half forgotten. I'm just getting some second handers on the cheap to see what I think.

Fitted rear camber arms last night too... full sik etc etc

Awesome ;)

That's a bloody tough call. While I'd love a look at (and a ride in!) the Cortina as it looks the goods, I'll be bringing the Sil so I'm naturally wanting more S13/180's around lol

You did bring the 180 last time though so maybe it's time for the Cortina to come out and play? Such a tough life you have deciding which car to bring along... tough life indeed... :(

      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

      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.
