Sorry JamesW, no spectators. This is a training course, not an event.

You don't bring friends to watch you go to school, right? :-)

are watchers welcome?

I'll book the venue tonight and contact you guys in regards to deposit.

(Minimum $50 deposit is required to confirm place at least 2 weeks before

the D-Day).

It'll be Saturday 21st February then... the venue is within Melbourne metro, however as this is a training day, not a competition event, we can't advertise location on public forum as we can't have hundreds of people rock up at the gate just wanting to be spectators.

Venue will be disclosed to confirmed participants only.

Halz,

I'm yet to hear from Driver dynamics in regards to how we're gonna arrange the number of ppl... For each additional people above 6 drivers in a group, we'll have to extend the session by 1 hour so that everyone can still have 4-5 laps of 15 mins each.

Alternatively if we have enough people then we'd have to make another group, say Sunday 22nd Feb, but if it's gonna be about 6-7 extra then the Sunday

group may not have the BBQ. Even BBQ for Sat group is yet to be confirmed, depending on if the BBQ on site is working or not, and the time to prepare & cook it within 30 min lunch break. But BBQ or not, it's still a fun day out there :)

Rianto

All full now? bummer.. was hoping me and mate could go.. $120 is quite good value.

simmo for events like this there are no spectators allowed. its purely just for the driver education, not like the drags or anything. im sure if you were to sign up for the next session you could still have some fun with your honda, remember it would be totally leagal to do whatever you like with your car at this place, and better than doing it in public plus helps car control

sorry rianto i cant make this one again (frustrating) but thankfully gerald said last week that my suspension is coming in 2 weeks so not long now and also new wheels coming soon (volk challenge hoorah)

thx for updating the list for me, hksgtst.... I'd be sending PMs around once I got booking day pre-confirmation from Driver Dynamics.

Simmo32, no you can't come and watch as this is a training day no event. If you want to pay extra $10,000 for public liability insurance, you're welcome to watch and bring all your mates as well :D

hey doxx, no problem... have fun with the new wheels :D

don't go blinding old ppl around ur block with those shiny new rims u got :D

halz, won't be a problem, looks like if we have 13 confirmed ppl to go,

then i'd be happy to open another 4 hour session on sunday 22nd feb.

i'd put your name in for the meantime and u can ask ur mate to come along.

I would be happy for another day or the longer sessions - as long as it doesnt become inconvenient for everyone else.

Let us know what can be arranged - I may be able to get a few people interested..

    • 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
