we already have a resident R31 to poke poke fun at. Actually, its moreso the driver that we poke fun at than the car.

I believe Ash's R31 coupe n possible ACSplits R31 and SKY031's car will be there too.

Winery The winery is a really nice small winery and I personally sampled both the merlot and shiraz over the weekend. Beautiful drops. This will probably be the best place for photo's for the day as the back drop looking over all the vines was pretty impessive.

hm winery that might give the missus an excuse to come and the western ring road is only round the corner I'll be there at least in the super pimp ceffy.

cheers

DISTANCE UPDATE: Total distance is 270km - from start: WRR Mobil (Synergy 8000) to finish: Calder FWY BP (Ultimate).

The only town on the route with premium is Dalesford (Optimax). If my car can make it with a full tank from the start point, everyone else should be fine :P

James, Ash and Andrew hope you planned a couple of rest stops along the way, as shivam and myself went for a test run yesterday and he experienced major brake fade just after the down hill sections. Jumped out of the car to see the front calipers SMOKING :P.

The area was GREAT and had alot of fun. Should be a top day!

Ah - thought that was you! I was in a blue/purple Subaru Liberty coming down Mt Macedon cross as you were going up. I had my head/driving lights on :P

Was out taking photos of the major road signs to help with directions.

Will email you full map/photos/route notes during the week... and yes, some good rest stops :)

    • 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.
