That sux, I was one of the first to pay :( Bloody pommies, mine's still stuck in the shop.

My oil cooler rocked up today, looks really good!

I'm just awaiting an email (hopefully tonight) with the rest of the tracking numbers.

Mine says:

Aug 8, 2011 1:13 AM -- In transit -- ALEXANDRIA AU

Aug 7, 2011 9:32 PM -- International shipment release -- ALEXANDRIA AU

Aug 7, 2011 9:32 PM -- In transit -- ALEXANDRIA AU (Package available for clearance)

... maybe it'll get here (Adelaide) tomorrow?

... Just wish I had the car to fit it to - Four Months since my accident, and it's still being repaired .. *sigh* :(

Well if it has been sent (like they were supposed to) straight after ours then yeah you should. But given the track record with delays.....who knows.

Got my oil cooler today. Damn it looks good quality. Well worth the wait. Thanks again Phil! I still hope you continue to do more group buys.

Woo. Mine just arrived. Looks nice, all the guys in the office were admiring it - hah :D

Wonder if you can get black braided lines to give it the ultimate stealth look ..

Question - are you only supposed to get one mounting bracket (original picture showed more)? I'm guessing that's enough, anyway?

Yeah just one mounting bracket, it will be more than fine to hold it up. I might not even use it and make up some custom brackets. Will see how it goes mounting in the drivers side front gaurd.

J34 - Yeah i'm still waiting on yours and the other guys tracking numbers. I wish companies had better communication. I mean I understand people are busy and all but when you have some ones money communication is key! Hell I feal bad if I don't reply to some of your guys PMs after 24 hours!

UPDATE

The rest of the kits have been sent so I will PM every one their tracking numbers now :)

Also regarding the black fittings, they are is such short supply that Hel have an allowance of 5 of each black fitting a month! So they will just have to send them out as they come in one person at a time. I will go last so every one else can get theirs first. Unfortunately that's the best they can do :(

Who knows...

I think they will try and send them out as soon as they can though. Might mean two people a month or more....or just one lol.

    • 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.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
