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.

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.

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.

      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.
