Hello everyone

I have got a yellow last Sunday and this week I have been searching for all relevant info about passing the pits. Some problems came across.. any1 could tell me what to do about this?

Currently the fuel regulator is leaking. I did made sure the hoses are tighten, and noticed that the petrol is leaking from the spot (in red circle) Does that mean the regulator is broken? It is a sard one btw.

I have no idea what to do at the moment. Seems like lot of parts have to change back to Original.

Just want to gain more opinions before I send my car to work shop and do it up.

and a silly question. Do I have 10 days to prepare for pit since my car defected? does it include Saturday and Sunday?

Cheers

Romain :P

answer ur question abt the sard reg.. i would say just re-tape with teflon tape and tighten it up..... and i think in general coilovers are illegal??

Adjustable coilovers are illegal if they are threaded.

10 consecutive days yes lol

Coilovers technically are illegal, but as long as they aren't too soft most inspectors are fine with them...but it all depends, they aren't consistent. Your engine bay looks pretty clean & tidy so they should be happy with it, the bov you will have to take off, the cat should also be ok, at least I don't think any rules have been changed with that except for the emissions part they might ask you to get done. The IM240 test is still on hold at least....but if you have access to a stock cat you may as well put it on anyway

hey man if its not too hard do u mind posting up some pics of how your fpr is all hooked up? ive got what looks like an identical sard one but with only 1 airline fitting and 2 fuel fittings (purchased 2nd hand). and i always thought an adjustable fpr would replace the standard one it looks like yours is running in series with it.

cheers bud

    • 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 
    • 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.
