correct

plus i was at times the only person manning the table and noone liked the suggestive sell technique, however i was very gratefull to Damo and Sam and Andrew for there help, would of just liked more even though there was no sales

i think maybe people don't associate repco with BBQ's either and the weather

hahahaha u were pushing those sausages like a dealer outside a high school.

If i find time to get the power steering working, i'll come along in the 32

So has anyone officially put their hand up for BBQ duties? I suck at handling money, but I don't mind helping on the BBQ itself, but have NFI where to get the club banner, etc.

Steve - do you still have the meat frozen from last time?

I am pretty sure I have the SAU banner in my bag of tricks Nigel .... let me know if you want to come get it from me (I am in Northgate FYI). Or I can try get it to someone in the display.

Yeah for the last bbq SAU:SA spent nearly $200 on gear and barely recouped a quarter of that. I reckon you should just go to the butcher up the road and buy $40 of cheap-ass sausages, then with the other $10 get a couple of loaves of bread and some sauce.

Oh yeah of course you do ;)

... and don't worry about the club - we over-catered (as always - better too much than not enough) and we still have plenty of meat left in the freezer for future events. Drinks too for that matter (unless Steve has drunk them all already ;) )

It really is very scary when catering for a bbq all the hidden costs involved. Until you do it, you wouldn't believe it. Of course you can do it for relatively cheap on the bones of your ass, but Steve likes to get the nice quality snags, good quality bread (and lots of it), decent amount of condiments, onions, different varieties of drinks, and all the trimmings, so it doesn't take long for the costs to blow out.

try $208 for last BBQ, having done a cub scout bbq at bunnings next door iv'e seen how a proper club does a bbq granted they have more traffic through there doors and they had a sausage warmer on the bbq 2

i bought enough snags for 140 people to eat aprox. and im guessing we may have sold 60-70 plus the staff ate free i thought was a nice touch and guaranteed we got called back

and no they were'nt gourmet snags they were the cheap ones ;) bread was cheap no printing on the bags ;)

bbq'ed lobster and caviar at mitchs joint tonite ya'll

re sausages, i never buy from a supermarket - for the price u pay theyre rather shit - go to a wholesaler like austral and get the higher quality sausages for the same price the supermarket sells the shitty ones for

wasnt too hard to cater for the lads at loxton last year but obviously that was for under 20 people as opposed to 50-100 that you'd expect at a sausage sizzle.. can't win unless u do what steve's done and freeze the leftovers

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
