Hey guys,

One of the more revered members at Aus300zx has fallen victim to an unfortuntate tragedy. Eric's wife is currently in a semi conscious state after dying for 35min and losing a lot of blood (3.5L or so)! All this happened a few days after she gave birth to their 4th child. The guy has had to close down his shop and stay at home as the primary caretaker. Definitely a major loss for them.

Eric is the mechanic that a lot of the guys use and definitely knows his stuff and has a lot of credence and respect in their community.

You may remember Mike from aus300zx who joins us on different cruises, he's asked me to get you guys to join.

They reckon that they can bring 20 Zs for the cruise - lets show them what RBs (and VQs) can do!

  • WHY: A2ZED & WOOSHKA FUNDRAISER CRUISE - BBQ - SHOW & SHINE
  • WHEN: Sunday 3rd of March 2013
  • WHERE: Meet at Glenaffric St The Gap (there is a nice big carpark there) 9:30 for a 9:45-10 departure
  • WHO: OPEN TO EVERYONE!
  • WHAT TO BRING: CASH! :yes: ..lets not beat around the bush here!
  • ENTRY: What you can afford to give per car. Don't be a tight ass. I think a cost per car of $100 might be asking a bit much - so its really whatever you can contribute to the fundraiser.. (Even if its just $98 bucks!....) :woot: Seriously though, if thats too much, please just contribute whatever you can! .. like $95 bucks! (or whatever)...

Route:

  • Meet at Glenaffric St The Gap (there is a nice big carpark there) at say 9:30 for a 9:45-10 departure.
  • Cruise up over Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious. Stop at the bottom of Mt Glorious in one of the parks for a re-group and stretch of the legs.
  • Continue on to Fernvale Memorial Park on Brisbane Valley highway.
  • Arrive 12ish for a BBQ at 12:30.... everyone can sit around and have a good catchup!

Cost for BBQ:

  • $5 for a sausage in bun
  • $10 for a burger
  • $3 for a soft drink

"Yes inflated prices but its a fundraiser not a soup kitchen" - Loud'N'Proud ;)

Show and Shine 1pm - 2-2.30pm (THERE WILL BE PRIZES!)

Then head home via Warrego highway and Ipswich motorway.

We make available Wooshka stickers for donations / donating participants so you show off your support with pride! :woot:

Can you please advise early if you are coming so we can organise catering. Otherwise you might go hungry! (and ill take your money anyway! :yucky:

The guys would be there to help us if we lost one of our own (god forbid), so let's dig in and help them out!

Plenty of notice so hope to see you guys there!

Cheers,

Tony

Actually Tony i'm not 100% sure if we're even going to Toowoomba via Brisbane yet, it's going to cost us too much money in flights and travel and everything. Plus we've left it a bit too late to book flights so the prices have gone way up and we are awful at committing to plans. I'll let you know but.

    • 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.
