Is a very fair call E.

I'm still taking everything they say with a grain of salt - but what can we do? Is better to inform them of the meet and hope they behave, than have a unit stumble across it and call in the SWAT team.

The officer I spoke to said 'if you guys play the game, then we'll play the game' - in reference to us behaving ourselves. Lets hope they treat this as a valuable PR exercise - and perhaps a bit of education to the Po's - that we're capable of having a civil, organised meeting with no trouble.

That said - they haven't exactly bent over backwards to incite our trust in the past, so if you are concerned - don't bring your car :D

Also:

SGSKY: I would like to apologise for my unfriendly response in the previous post. Was having a bad day. You asked a fair question - and I unleashed. Sorry :)

I spose we can only hope. At the very least you've done the right thing and informed them of the meet. It gets it out in the open and proves we aren't trying to hide anything.

In any case, I have other plans that night so I won't be there. However for me to bring the car to any sort of meet the current climate with the Police will need to warm up a quite a bit more than the frosty chill which exists now.

This is a step in the right direction tho.

All the best for it fellas. I hope I'm wrong about the police treating it as one big the sphincter of the universe Shoot.

you have to remember tho that if u act like a spastic u deserve to be bent over like one... even outside the meet on the way there or home.

Steady there Nark, I couldn't agree more. I would be shocked and dismayed if any SAU member did act like a spastic. I'm positive everyone would be on their best behaviour.

However this would not stop the police handing out EPA notices and canaries at will, or hassling ppl just because they feel like it.

Most ppl would agree that simply driving up the road to the shops can be enough to attract unwanted attention from the Law.

that all comes down to bad PR for them... which is where contacting ACA and the like comes into play

      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.
