I was driving along pittwater rd today and just going across narabeen lake a pelican decided to releave itself on my car. Thank God elephants dont fly because this certain pelican nearly gave my car a colour change to white with fish pearl.

Ahh the joys of double demerit weekends (which I totally forgot about).

On the way back from Palm Beach following Nick n Ash (they were about 1 corner infront the whole way). Came around a blind corner (doing the speed limit) to find a van had pulled out, jammed on my brakes hard to avoid running up the back of him (not his fault or mind just a stupid corner). Then afew corners later it went into 2 lanes so I drove down the inside lane to realise that on the otherside of the intersection their were parked cars so I tapped it to get past him to duck back to his lane and apparently their was a cop car somewhere around that part. "If" I was speeding it was for a total of 150m whilst I was overtaking the van so if I really wanted to I could possibly fight it (and also the fact that their were 4 cars within 50m of each other all doing a similar speed) but to be honest I have no idea of what speed I was doing coz I was concentrating on overtaking the van whilst avoiding parked cars and going thru a traffic lights intersection so no point in contesting it.

Got done for 86km/h in a 60km/h zone, $203 and 6 points (double demerits). Was only discussing with Nick n Ash about 15mins before how many points we all had (I said 6) etc so I must have jinxed myself. Just rang the RTA to ask about the suspension period etc (cos I'll lose all 6 remaining points) to find that I just got my 3pts back from a speeding fine 3yrs ago so I wont be getting suspended after all. Just means I will be on 3 points for the next 2.5yrs :(

I'll lay low for a while (won't be at the track day in 3wks) or may even sell the car and look at different options as insurance is gonna be an absolute killer when its due in 6mths.

      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.
