Also is the guy in the silver Stagea&Evo on here? Think we lost you at the first meet point :(

Yeah mate, that's me with the Stagea & Evo...... did the boots as I noticed a few dangerous manoeuvres with the whole fleet slamming their anchors on in a 100 zone and a few tailgaters in the fleet....

I'll be at the next one for sure...

Yeah both he same owner. He said he left to come back with a more appropiate car. Must like silver cars :D

Silver is easy maintenance, looks good from far but far from good! when dirty!

The Evo is silver, the Stagea is Champagne.

Good turn out at Bunnings, looking forward to next cruise.

Hmmmm....descisions on which car to bring. I think if the NUR's turn up, it is only appropriate to bring the Evo.

well then i have nfi what it was.. but if its not a skyline/nissan/similar i dont pay much attn lol

Ohhhh C'mon! Don't be racist! You gotta hate everyone equally!

I still love my Nissan's, especially Skylines BUT sometimes you just have to try something different!

Why hello there :action-smiley-069:

I guess things were a bit slow and stop starting because I told the lead car to go slow until the traffic cleared up a bit. After the 1st meet point at a petrol station, there was no more traffic lights so we no longer had any problems.

I just didn't want to lose anybody on the cruise so early on. But for as for the dangerous moves and tailgaters, I didn’t notice that because I was at the back of the pack, but hope no one was being too silly :(

Tony, maybe should have told us all just to meet at the petrol station so we don't have to stop at Thompson Rd exit. And cause all this pulling over all over the freeway.

Confused the hell out of me a bit. Would be easier just to go through.

Not saying it's shit, just something to keep in mind for future.

Yeah, we were planning to stop off at Baxster but wasn't sure where yet. Just that other cars were planning to meet us half way :/

Don't worry the next one will be better planned. I've learnt a few things from the other night!

Oh well, once the pitstop was over at the petrol station I'm sure everyone had a blast :)

It is hard to organise with multiple sets of light in between where people can get stuck.

But more visual direction would help next time.

Bunnings meet point, springvale and chelt rd

United Servo second meet point, moorooduc hwy after the KFC/Subway

etc etc but considering everything went down real well.

So did we find out who that Blue Commodore wagon was that was tailing us from bunnings carpark to the servo (and stopped outside it until we all left)?

Some nuffy that envys the imports but hasn't found the brains to go out and get one......

    • 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
