alrite guys and girls, thinking of organising a cruise/meet/bbq/anything you wana do in the hunter valley vineyards @ hunter valley gardens, there is plenty and i mean plenty of parking and space to have a good meet up and there are also onsite bbq for use, aqua golf, putt putt or just have a general mooch around the place.

please let me know what you guys think, its easially accessible from sydney/central coast/newcastle and northcoast

like i said guys this is just an idea for us stagea people as there has not really been a good meet up for a while, but if there is interest from the skyline boys and girls then we can merge it as this would be good to get good numbers for once

please let me know what you think

hey guys, quick update,

not really a concrete date but were are looking at the start of may, i just need to confirm with hunter valley gardens there is nothing happening up there and that it will be ok for us to be there (i cant see why not its a public carpark) but its worth asking,

ill keep you guys informed, keep posting upi your interest guys!!!

Hi Everyone,

I've been in contact with Hunter Valley Gardens to find out any dates that will be too busy for us to have a larger group there for a bbq (didn't want it to be too busy and miss out on bbq's as they are on a 'first come-first serve' basis).

These are the following dates that came up good:

  • Saturday 24th April
  • Sunday 25th April
  • Saturday 8th May
  • Saturday 5th June
  • Sunday 6th June
  • Sunday 20th June

Could everyone reply/post what date would suit them best, and I'll start up a 'tally' so we can then lock in a date.

Cheers,

Kacey.

Oh, and don't forget next weekend is a long weekend, so probably double-demerits. Also, we've got an SAU Members' Only cruise on set for Sunday: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Of...rs-t315554.html

    • 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
