Shame i couldn't cruise with you all, as i had prior commitments, but it was a great turn out as always. I showed up at the Yatala meet to catch up with a few old mates and made my donation to the worthy cause.

Was sad, but great to see my ol' 34 out there and looking fantastic as always... I feel much better knowing she's gone to a good home and i think after Lisa's efforts of cleaning her and being so heavily pregnant, she should have deserved to win the show and shine :D

Just a question to those at the end of the Queue..Were people getting pissed in Tambo when they were trying to turn but we just kept pouring through?

I had to laugh cause i was closer to the front and they were waiting then...there was like 60+ cars behind me

I was right near the end of the line and myself and the guys in front were waving to a lot of the people trying to get somewhere. At the Curtis Falls turn off there was a large line of cars like no other I have ever seen on Tambo (I grew up there) who didn't look too happy.

We should have gone up a different way regardless of the condition of the road. It would have been much better to skirt around the base of the mountain through Canungra and go up the goat track (this rd is seriously wicked with hairpin after hairpin), the army live firing signs add to the appeal of the rd. It does have the only traffic light on Tambo but that's because it goes down to one lane width.

Most of my shots didn't turn out nice but here are a few that did.

When she agreed to get into the boot of the vert and touch up the hard to reach areas I couldn't spray into I knew I was onto something good.

This is probably more the kind of shot you we're after though.

Awwww its not fair, nobody got a pic of my car (apart from in the background :P )

Other than that, nice pics.

Sucked that somebody at the front couldnt follow directions and went down the wrong exit TWICE so i barely saw another skyline on the cruise but otherwise it was an awesome day out..............can we make this a HALF annual thing? almost guaranteed cooler temperatures then :)

    • 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.
    • 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
