No worries guys, great to hear they rocked up safely. I always worry they are going to magnetically attach themselves to something and get lost lol.

Mine turned up yesterday so I started looking thru the shed to see what I can lift with the sump plug. First thing I found was a hammer :worship:

Hope this doesnt pull the crank out of my block. hahaha

Thanks Phil

These black hole things are definitely fragile...separated all of them to put them onto oil filter today, and one of the middle ones in the stack was already broken in half :(

I might open it up tonight if I get some time. Hopefully this one won't fill so damn quickly so I get a chance to PM all the people that missed out. A bunch of my mates want to get some more so I'll have to check with them aswell.

What do you mean the "thread snapped off the magnet"? That doesn't make any sense there is no thread on the magnet and the magnet is epoxied inside the bolt. Do you mean the bolt snapped? The bolts aren't titanium, if you start applying force to the bolt if it isn't going in correctly any steel bolt will snap. Without knowing the full story behind something don't simply make up bullshit that they are shit and are poor build quality due to one incident.

If you want to PM me and discuss a replacement I will gladly speak to Richard about what could have caused the failure (what ever it is that you mean).

      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

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      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.
