wow spoke to the guy a few times at a couple of events. Was a really decent guy to have a chin wag with. Shocked to hear of this.

RIP mate. Thoughts go out to all the friends and families.

As everyone above me has stated that mental health issues are nothing to be taken lightly and if you do need someone to speak with most of the people that I know here are more than happy to help out. I am for one am here if needed, just for a friendly chat.

If the family is ok with us doing a procession/convoy with our GTRs, just wondering who would be interested in doing this? I should have the day off work so i'm more than happy to do this in memory Lance.

We're already in the process of arranging a GTR procession Tim, just waiting on the ok from the family. Will post details once we're organised. Funeral is Jan 10, 3pm at Prospect at this stage.

I wrote a book called, "Good Grief - Bad Time" '3 Ways of Coping With Loss'

It's distributed by a reg. charity these days, but I have a spare that I can send down today if you wish. You can present it to the family on behalf of you SAUers who are attending? Perhaps you can sign it? Gratis.

Let me know K?

Hiya Brendan,

Many thanks for feedback.

So glad you're on the mend and...

1) finding purpose through the study/work you're putting in

2) are able to break through pain barriers that most of us would cringe at.

BTW, I came across a cerebral talk-back documentary on radio on the weekend.

It's about how the venom of the black mamba snake contains extremely powerful analgesics - researched atm at Edinburgh Uni I believe.

Unlike opiates that wear off, these 'mambagines' (named after the mamba) don't form "tolerance" in potency.

Several links can be googled; but here's one...

Apparently, totally different nerve channels are utilised from those of opiates.

Checking in on behalf of SAU Vic, to offer our condolences for family and friends. I don't know Lance personally, but he was a regular contributor in the "Goods On Oils" thread (General Maintenance) and...any user of Sougi 6000 is/was a friend of mine :)

All the best.

      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.

      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
