Was a great weekend. I was there helping out Brett Holdsworth (Who took the Commodore Cup Round Win, and leads the championship, mainly due to our truly awesome pitstop haha).

Ryan did a pretty good job in the Astra too, I certainly don't envy him driving a FWD car around that track. Although you can't go past the Evo which had a 54sec (from memory) delay in starting.

Was an awesome weekend. I was helping run the Crompton mustang in sports sedan. An incident with a tyre wall on saturday during qualifying dampened spirits but we got it back together looking as good as new for Sunday.

Matt- have you got any pics of the green and blue mustang? Its massively wide fibreglass body, olive green and blue?

salmons car was fixed. the 12hr and targa car are one and the same

Nope. :(

The Targa car is fixed (is with TMR) but the Bathurst car and the Targa car are different cars. He has 2 identically looking ones!

Not sure that the Targa car has the speed fuel fillers though that the Bathurst car (and the one pictured above) has. But he def has 2 cars.

I remember Heaphy telling me he was stoked about the fuel tank rule change so they didn't have to swap the 12hr tanks over for TT Showroom back in April... sorry for the assumption on my part!

    • 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.
