MMmmmmmm......... and risk getting smacked around... maybe not. If your definately going, let me know. Maybe we can go together.

Geez thanks guys!! ;) As if I would do that!

On that topic, Dean where are my rims??!!!!!! You said you'd bring them back 2 months ago!! :D Might as well use them at the street meet, you've probably already fried my brand new tyres anyway!! hehe :)

Might come out for a look if everyone is going to compete.

hope to have my car out when got exhaust and cooler fitted

**Thats ST Patricks day**

It's also the day before the Clipsal starts!

Will your gear be on by then Matt?

If you're racing, then I'm going to spectate, and I'm sure we could get Andrew to come out (to watch, not break things), shit I'll basically be living at his place while the Clipsal is on.

will you now Will??? :devil: cool ... will have to get out the ps1 and boxload of games then too :starwars: .... yep if you're running Matt then I'll come out to watch. I'm not running until my Z32 afm, S14 throttle body and Hybrid EBC are fitted and tuned. Then I hope to do a low 12 run and retire from drag racing. I am very afraid my gearbox is going to die - I don't think it has long left :stupid:

yep having Thurs and Friday off - told work to go shove it! Anyone else coming along and wanna hook up to say hi .... Pawley and I caught up last year on one of the ovals and were treated to many photos with lovely ladies walking past ... check out Clipsal 500 2003 pics :)

and this fella ... what can I say :D

dude the more I think about it, the more I think your figure of 200rwkw is good. You still have oem injectors and fuel pump, so the 201rwkw is a reasonable figure I think.

But as you said, since the apprentice tuned our cars, a retune by a more qualified tuner would most likely result in better figures at a safer level.

Fyi, when I spoke with John last week, he said that once I got the Z32 afm in, a retune/remap would cost me about $150.

well the car just feels like shit, everywhere in the rpm range, so im worried somethin is wrong. Plus i will get the ecu retuned by John, its just that i am also gettin a new wastegate actuator, and also a new dump pipe, then i will get it retuned.

Basically ive waited ages to take my car to the drags, so i can wait a bit longer if i have to.

    • 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.
