Well global warmer and I are currently sitting at the grey gums cafe halfway up the putty. Just had something to eat but doesn't look like anyone is turning up from Sydney end. Bit of a let down but we'll wait till about 12:15 anyway. Looks like I better call up the pub and cancel the lunch booking.

Well. What a great day! Livewire (Kevin) and Me (Matthew) got to Grey gums a little early from Singleton and nearly left before the cars from Windsor turned up, as they were running a little bit late. We were glad we wiated in the end cause the drive to Singleton was great. We all had a great time tackling the 16KS of bends before milbrodale.

I cant recommend the Grey gum Cafe enough. Food was great, coffee was great, service and staff were great and so was to atmosphere!

Lunch at Imperial Hotel in singleton was very nice too. One of the better of our 9 local pubs thumbsup.gif

Was really good to meet some of you guys that frequent the forum too. As you can see by the pics I am in love with Livewires car (who does not love a bayside blue R34 GTR...).

Good to see you guys met up with the other guys at the halfway point!!

And lol at the guy in the silver R33 who tried to drive onto the RAAF Base :rofl2:

And please remind people that you bring along, that admiring cars is okay, but please don't lean on them!!!!

Did someone lean on your precious Sean? LOL

didnt see that but i imagine most would know better, i remember doing it once as a teenager on someones car and getting my ass chewed out/ been car lean shy since >_<

Cruise was fun except for being held up by the occasional numpty in a slow mover, apparently we did well for a Sunday though. I think i have been spoilt by too many track days lol, cant get my head around overtaking and worrying about oncoming traffic...they dont seem to like you understeering into their lane either..:whistling:

anyway thanks for the run guys, nice to meet some new faces and i hope to see you all again at a future event. Locals like rob are welcome to come round and have a beer/GT5 match anytime!

Good day despite the smaller than expected turnout. Hopefully the official sau putty cruise will be a better turnout because its a great road for a cruise. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Was nice to meet all those who came, nice group of guys and was good to have a reason to get the car out on a decent road

I do a good 3 hour drive like 2 times a week just to random places :yes:

Do you have some kind of underground connection to bootlegged cheap petrol?

hook a brother up :pirate:

    • 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.
    • 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
