thought id start a new thursday night thread. some people are saying the old pac runs are being cancelled for obvious reasons i find that hard to believe. the old pac runs have been going for years. i would think it would respect the ppl we have lost by keeping these legal runs going. dont be confused with street racing as we dont do that here. do that on a track. but anyway.

thursday 13th was a good night. said our good byes. had a good chat. sorted what needed to be sorted. long live the old pac runs.

Its going to be a hard time, But i know i will be running old pac again sooner rather than later.

Tom would not want me to stop driving or to stop going to the track, or anything like that because of this.

thats my point. would tom or gerard want us to stop. sorry jase/aron bit of as mix up there. if your not gunna do an old pac run come down to max brenners with us instead.

now can anyone shed light on the old pac runs?

KC if you read this thread can you shed some light.

Edited by SNOQPY

they aren't called "runs" first of all.

when you say "runs" people like the general public or any law enforcement reading these forums, or who arent in the scene get the idea that runs means street racing. (which for those that go on these drives, know its not a street race or anything)

so if we can stop calling it runs that would be great!

its a drive, an informal social night!

Cheers,

Chris

Very courageous of you, Sheri :ermm:

Nobody should stop doing something they have a passion for. I almost went last week, but something came up. Will be there this week.

What's the max brenners option about?

Edit - I'm with Chris.. it's a cruise not a run. It's a social night out.

the max brenners "cruise" ill cal it hehe. just another meet on a wednesday and or thursday night at st ives in sydneys northern shore. i guess you could look at it like. sydney siders coming up here to the coast and meeting at the plaza.

us coasties could come down there and meet the sydney siders at st ives for hot chocolates, muffin and banana bread covered in chocy. nom nom nom nom.

the NSCC meet up on wednesday nights at St Ives Max Brennas for our "Coffee and Killowatt Club", if some of the SAU members are around come and say hello.

Look for the large group of mostly blokes talking tall tales and eating waffles and ice cream - lol

Thread closed. We do not need anyone organising "runs" at the moment - I'm sure you mean "cruise" but it still does not help.

For SAU NSW members the old thread is in the members section: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/We...&start=2520. I went along to the meet on Thursday and apart from one peanut brain everything was pretty sensible...but still.

Of course, any one can organise any meet they want....just not on here for a while.....

If you want to show your respects to Tom, come along to the funeral/memorial tomorrow, I hope there will be a good turn out to show the respects.

    • 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
