I was in a rush last night, so I didn't go into much detail.

Firstly, thanks for the feedback. To answer your questions

I'm not into cruising the city all that much, as I prefer getting out in the country air.

Yes 350km is a fair run, but if you like 'driving', you will enjoy and when you break it up with stops, it's not that long.

It's broken up into a couple of sections, where we can stop & have a break, a beer, etc .

The run is up to the coast, then inland, coming back through Penrith way, onto the M4 back home.

I will explain more before we leave. This is a public forum, so I will keep it brief for my own reasons.

Yes it is vague, but it's not an event. I'm going for a run with some friends and decided to invite people along. When I do organise an event, there will be more notice. If you have something in mind, let me know.

Note: If it's raining we are not going.We may go on Sunday afternoon instead

Anytime you post any event/cruise/social meetup please make sure you follow the forum guidelines.. they're there to stop this vagueness.

If you don't want to disclose too many details on the destination/route then you need to make that clear in the first post.

e.g.

Destination: will remin undisclosed for personal/police reasons. Full details to be given to participants on the night.

    • 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.
