Hi all,

I've recently bought my DSLR and my shots weren't as good as the rest but I'd like to share them. Also, I haven't used my Photobucket account for a long time so there is a link below if you would like to have a look. Enjoy :)

I'd recommend viewing the photos in 'Full Screen' mode which is located on the bottom right. Let it expand and then you can use the arrow keys to change photos.

:thumbsup:

i must say there were several very lost looking skylines driving around richmond today haha, most notably the smick purple 33 gtr with the gold rims in the company of the blue 33. we came back round the block to give u directions but ud already gone, hope u made it!!

That most likely would have been me in the Purple GTR lol. I didnt put the location into my GPS properly, so it took me along Windsor road into a dead end in Richmond instead of Percival St lol. It got me there in the end :)

started out really good for us in the pulsar! until colo heights and hot tyres stuffed it for us.. ended up with a blowout and then drive home :(

damn....I thought everyone made it in 1 piece this time!

When we stopped, it was in a precarious position, so we backed up 20m in view of the straight > hazard lights.

Lolz, you need a trip to the beach to fix that!

Steve-o, could of sworn that was you at the servo, I even beeped lol. Oh well :)

Great day out - have missed out on Putty Rd the last two years due to work - so so glad to have made it this time. Great to see so many R34s and just cars of all types - R31s, Zs, and that Exige S! I liked that Silver R33 GTR with the LMGT4s - still have a soft spot for the 33Rs.

Not to mention that yellow Aston V8 Vantage that tore past! :)

Also hope that bikie made it out okay, but it didn't look good.

Great to have a chat with some new faces and old ones too

Thanks to the organisers for a great day :) It was my first SAU cruise and I will be sure to make an effort to attend more in the future!

That Astin Martin was awesome!

He hung back from my car waiting for ages for that octagenarian (in front) to pass some others.

He didn't realise that I had my orders - yeah he thought I was putt-putting around. lol

Impatience got the better of him in the end. Betcha he (MESH) goes and tell his workmates in N.Sydney to-day how many GT-Rs he passed yesterday.

    • 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.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
