Hi everyone,

Skyline Charity Cruise is set for Sunday 20th November. With help from fellow V-series owner, Shiva, and more interests from other fellow owners, I am pleased to organize a cruise to this event. For more information regarding this event, please refer to relevent thread (http://www.skylinesa...9-20th-nov-scc/).

I've done two meet points for this cruise, one for south Brisbane and one for central Brisbane.

South Brisbane

Meet point: Marsden Park Shopping Centre, Chambers Flat Rd, MARSDEN, QLD, 4132

Time: 7:45am meet, 8:00am Depart (To Central Brisbane meet point)

Central Brisbane

Meet point: Springwood McDonald's (35-41 Springwood Rd, Cnr Springwood & Rochedale Rds Springwood QLD 4127)

Time: 8:15am meet, 8:30am Depart (To Aspley Hypermarket meet point)

Let me know which meet point you will be coming to, so I know who to expect at both meet points.

Please don't be late at meet point, as we will have to leave on time to get to Aspley Hypermarket meet point.

From then on, we will be cruising out at 9:30am with SAUQLD people to Lakeside raceway.

At the raceway, usual raffle tickets etc, will be sold. Full canteen facilitys are available at the track.

The grande finale will be Parade laps around the track with a photographer on hand to snap every vehicle and provide you with a photo of your car on the famous circuit.

Cost of the parade will be AU$10 per car with proceeds going to charity.

If you have a girlfriend/wife/mother/sister etc. that won't come along due to it being a 'car event', let them know that there is a lovely raffle prize in it for them. A basket of goodies valued at over $500 including products from MAC, Gorgeous Cosmetics, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, OPI and many more is on offer including a voucher for full makeup application including false lashes & airbrushing. Every single cent earned from raffle ticket sales on the day will be going to the chosen charity, so get your ladies to come along and maybe they can take home a prize.

Please express your interest, either on this thread or the main SAUQLD thread.

Hope to see lots of V-series on the day. Let's represent the Nissan Skyline family, support the charity event and have fun meeting fellow Nissan Skyline enthusiasts. :)

The difference on the back right quarter is veryyyy spottable. :( I'll be joining the final parade, i assumed everyone would? Is it a fast lap or a reasonably slow one? I don't think our N/A's can keep up with the Turbo's

    • 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
