I'll be there, perfect time for me actually, any earlier and it would be difficult. It helps that it is around the corner from home :D

Any other V coming??? Or am I left to represent us all??? That's a lot of pressure, we are a good bunch!!!

Hey guys,

The meet was great, but not many of us there. There were 4 350Z's one Lotus Elise and my V.

I have some pics that the missus got someone to take of her with all the cars, hahahaha I'll post them up soon.

It was good to meet some of the 350Z guys, they were a bunch of good people. Kamil's black 350 is really nice!

Also the place, Garage Cafe, was all that I was expecting it to be, never being there before. Nice food and very reasonably priced. As usual I got quizzed by some of the other crowd there, "what car is that????" "Oh yeah, I thought it looked like a Nissan but I wasn't sure!!!" The V got the most attention there hahahaha.

The owner of Garage Cafe was really nice too, having only just met me an hour or so earlier, he let me sit in his white S5 Audi and perv on it inside out, engine, etc. Gorgeous car. However I was very surprised when he told me that from factory, the S5 (V8) makes out around 160kw on all four wheels. I told him I dynoed mine and it put out 169.9rwkw with no mods, but of course, his Audi is 4 wheel drive.

All in all, a good chance to relax for a couple of hours during a week night.

      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.
