Hi all,

There hasn't been any meets in the Northern subs and the weather is looking great.

I'm thinking of a meet and a mini cruise.

I also see alot of SAU guys out that way.

Meet Location - McDonalds - Cnr Settlement & Dalton Road, Thomastown, VIC 3074 - For a chat and a bite.

For those coming in from any suburb south of Thomastown I recommend entering the McDonalds carpark from Northgate Drive.

Map link --> http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&i...006899&z=17

Meet Time - Around 7.15PM and leaving for Yarra Boulevard around 8.00PM

Destination - Leaving for Yarra Boulevard around 8.00PM. Drive to the end of Yarra Boulevard do a U-turn and drive back to the look out point where we all split.

Route - (south bound) Dalton Rd/Cheddar Rd, turn left into Broadway, turn right into Boulderwood Pde, follow onto Albert St/Station st, turn left at Heidelberg Rd, turn right at Chandler Hwy, turn right into Yarra Boulevard.

Extra Info

- Follow road rules

- Some good night/low light shots to be taken.

- If the weather forcast seems bad on the day - I'll cancel the meet and think of a time to re-schedule - I'll keep you all posted on this thread.

- CB channel 14

- Of course the guys from the east and west are welcome ;)

Good chance i'll be there too. See you guys there.

Ah I was planning on coming to this but now I've gotta take some relatives to the airport at about 9ish.

I might pop in just to the meet at maccas and head off when you guys go for your cruise :(

Might not even be able to make the meet now :D Sorry guys

I thought my night would be free until my relatives decided yesterday to bring their flight forward to tonight!

Have fun everyone, drive safe ;)

    • 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.
