So we had a cruise up north today with the Newcastle guys

Unfortunately ( or fortunately ) depending on your point of view not many turned up

There was myself, Benji, J-Rad and Matt who turned up at the servo,

Anthony couldn't make it as his car wouldn't start for some reason, hope you get it sorted easily mate

Had a nice well behaved drive up the highway with the official newcastle photographer getting plenty of rolling shots of the cars then onto Wotten Way,

Man that is a great bit of road just a little to much debris for my liking with all the leaves etc but shows just how little use the road gets nowadays

After a run up Wotten and back we did a quick drive along the start of the lakes way and back again

Was s fun day with great weather and great roads, I think next time we do this run we should advertise it better as my original post did suck balls.

Oh and the best part of the day was when we were at the pub and Benji did admit that yes indeed he is a tool

But enough rambling bring on the pics

Successful cruise was successful. Thanks Martin for organising!!

Absolute great stretch of road and a very enjoyable drive. Enjoyed Wootton Way even more than the Putty Rd.

Yes, I'd say just about the only drawback of Wootten way was there was a bit of debris on the road... but I guess that's a small price to pay to enjoy a drive along road that basically seemed deserted lol

Some nice cars there and pics!

Yep, shame Big Bird didn't make an appearance, and my nugget got a damn screw through the tyre :/

Looking forward to the next one!

    • 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.
