I believe I spoke to the owner with a few others, he didn't sound like he got to drive it often enough but I didn't think he was planning to sell it :D

You should see his dyno sheet / engine bay, incredibly nice.

P.S.

I hope this works I'm still new to posting.

Thanks to the organisers, the event was a great success!

It was great putting faces to familiar names on the forum. There is no better way to spend a Saturday afternoon amongst cars and having a good old yarn with fellow enthusiasts.

Some noteworthy observations:

The offset of those VS Work rims on the S14 is absolutely mental and insane - you gotta to love that totally 'slammed' look

The Cortina got the most attention from the general public - especially the 'older' demographics. GO CORTINA!

The multicoloured Titan lip Gram lights 57S-PRO on the R32 GTR was most eye catching

The dramatic arrival of the R32 on Jacks' flatbed truck - I wondered what happened?

The only real contest was the voting for the best R33 GTR

The general respect and admiration that everyone showed towards each other's pride and joy.

thanks to all who came and made it a day!

Matt - (32) Love the wheels (now) it just took me a little bit to get used to at the start, but as always your car looked great!

Matt - (34) Man your car rocks!

Tim and Campbell... well well well..... you guys make the day funny as always!

Yet another awesome SnS. Really had a great time and the location was truely unbeatable!!

Thanks to all who organised the event and to everyone that took the time to polish up their pride and joys and entered.

Those pics are tops, thanks!!

PS: Birds WTF happened!!!

All that talk about you magical wax, etc and you didn't even show!!

You missed out big time buddy :D

GREAT Pics everyone.

There were heaps of camera's floating around and once again, not one bad pic among them!

We will 110% be going back to that venue next year. I will organise more space as well now i have a rough idea of requirements vs car numbers/space.

Should be even bigger next year ;)

hopefully the council can be a bit more lenient on entry/exit times

It's not the council, its just common sense more than anything else. Its a public liability/protection issue.

We can't have cars coming/going in/out all day long.

1. It would be impossible to position cars

2. It would mean someone 'manning' the gate for the whole 6 hrs (boring/unfair to expect)

3. Given there must have been easily 500-700+ people of the public passing through there over the 6hrs... too much chance of something occuring

etc etc. :wacko:

Look at the end of the day if people can't motivate themselves enough to get up by 8:30am on a weekend, and plan their life for 6 hours for a major club event with trophies/awards, that is their problem.

Just means more exposure chance of taking home a trophy for those people who can motivate themselves, and good on them :D

The general respect and admiration that everyone showed towards each other's pride and joy.

Couldn't agree more mate, well said.

sounds like a really good day and turnout. wish i could of made it down to atleast have a look, instead i was stuck inside at work :).

Hopefully next year i have something better then the silvia to enter :)

    • 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
