after noon light is alright... came over again yeaterday arvo at 4pm...

the morning light is worse unless you have polarised glasses or helmet visor... ;)

but to be honest the best time to go is around 11am-12pm thats when the best light is on the road an never gets in your eyes... its just magic...

well if ur talking about the best lighting conditions, late at night is best as other cars headlights give u early warning of approaching cars, especialy coming up to a corner.

That said, im keen for a mountain run anytime :)

Ok, well first in best dressed. All for Sat 19th of september?

Early morning or late afternoon is the next question.

Looks like we have a date...

Early morning FTW.

and almost a time...

looks like all we need now is a start point and some general notes on which route will be taken.

Can a little evo come join you guys?

I hope the little evo and and my Caldina are welcome? Pretty please. :D Any objections? :D

Looks like you have a good amount of interest there cuzz_33 should be a good day when it happens.

Im thinking early morning is the go, i've got a mate with an STI who is also keen if he can get his clutch sorted in time. If its gonna be a saturday i'll need a couple of weeks notice so i can get the day off. Hope word spreads so we get a decent crew together.

ok well im thinking early morning is going to be the time, exact time yet to be decided, we are thinking leave at 5 (from sunshine coast) then meet at kilcoy then for everyone brissy way meet at summerset????

19th is looking good...

Or we could look at the following weekend, 26/27th for dazdaz, the evo and boiracer.

Would like for dazdaz to be able to make it.

Was thinking of doing really early morning or late night run but will probably go during the day incase anyone doesn't know the road. The shaddows mid corner can really catch you out. Safe ftw. On that note, something like a 9am meet at BP landsborough.

We have 10 people so far;

    • 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
