That's a fair drive for you from south coast isn't it?

yeah, it's a bit of a drive, but is well worth it for a good, fun day out.

I went to Wakefield yesterday to have a look and help out if needed... In the end I just ended up talking shit with Neil and Duncan instead... LOL

Haha well if I dnt have a hangover (my bday that weekend) might meet you before and cruise up with you

will be there with bells on, gotta meet the mysterious 'john' if thats his real name but mainly to see Terry dressed up as serpico, i will go as John Mclane if its famous cop dress up day..

I believe so!

A quick question though, I beleive you need to pay a National Parks fee to get to Akuna Bay/West Head. Am I wrong? If I am not, how will this be sorted?

I don't mind paying, I just think some clarification is needed :)

I have been advised of this, and am looking into it at the moment.

I would have thought as 36 cars took off, that if the lead driver UHF'd distress after paying National Parks, 35 other drivers answering the call would not have to pay - being on a mercy mission! :whistling:

Or perhaps a tow rope between each car would count as one? :whistling:

Or my wife in the lead car can keep the ranger listening until the last car went through? :whistling:

The Devil made me think it!

I like it! Terry is a man with a plan!

Also I am excited for this cruise and should be present.

    • 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.
