monday came and i had to go and pickup some lunch for dad.

park the car and hop out, go inside order the food, as im collecting my food, i hear a bang, turn around to see a f**kING TRUCK IN MY FRONT END!

run outside, dude was pulling a youi, saw some big angry arab guy run out of a kebab shop and pretty much got outa there as fast as he could.

got his plates, made a police report that day and then filed a claim.

panel shop said the following needs replacing, Bonnet, grille, bumper + nostrils, driver side indicator and head light and some other little bits and pieces.

damage isnt that bad in pictures but here they are anyway

lucky i am insured.

so front end respray is pretty much done, so just have to fork out to do the rear end at the same time, guards will also receive a light skimming as well as cutting the inner guards for more clearance

future plans.

at the moment im saving money to have my motor built.

gonna use the same builder as tony.

forged bottom end

rods, pistons, machined crank and block

light head work and bigger springs

N1 pumps

gonna ditch the group as and probably go something bigger.

ill be having a chat on saturday with him to work it all out.

as for wheels, well, a friend and i have found some cheap TE37Vs so. 17X9.5+20 fronts, 17X10.5+17 Rears ;)

i dunno man, been having a bad run.

damaged my septum on monday, lower part of my nose. almost broke it and smashed the front row of my teeth out...

yep haha, has holes for tweeters which i was going to do anyways
not many updates on the car.
its at the panel beaters, scored some panels for it cheap which will help alot.
shannons seem to have f**ked up the automatic redrawing so apparently i owe them about $400....
payments wont go through unless i call them and have them physically pull the cash out which is annoying.
anyways
thinking about mixing it up a bit
was going to sell the BBS but ill keep them and relip them to make them wider since the rear guards are going to be chopped out from the inside.
also tossing up between this extension on the GTR wing

    • 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
