Was a great drive today

Pity about some bikes trying to kill themselves while others were on a go slow but apart from that a good day all round

Was good to put faces to names and meet some new people

Benji needed to change his pants after getting a drive of a 33 GTR

Carmen and I had a good day, would have loved to have had the 34 out today but was amazed how well the lil GTI held its own in the twistys...

As Martin said, idiots on bikes and slow drivers were a downfall but the day was awesome!

I now understand why Top Gear loath caravans too!!

Oh and thumbs up to the HWP for doing the right thing and target speed and not the cars themselves...

just got home.

very tired.

had a great day.

sorry to the emo guys for the smoke on the way home.

need to sort that out.

So good to see the beast out and then back home safe buddy! Always good to see ya! Oh and well done for remembering the name tag ;)

Yeah I was very surprised none of them even took a second look, not complaining!

Great bunch of people on the cruise. Thanks to Martin for letting me tag along as passenger.

Just a bit of shame some people mover vehicles ahead of us were driving extra slow and holding us up.

Lol..yeah, agreed.

Big thankyou to Owen for letting me briefly pilot the R33 GT-R.....absolutely phenomenal vehicle.

Yeah, the first HWP seemed to just be admiring all the nostalgia going past.... which was pretty cool.


Wicked day, awesome turn-out, lots of laughs and some very beautiful cars.

Terry's Evo 8 MR - laughs at the sound of harleys, freaks out at the sound of RB's :)

Uploaded pics now, i'll post them soon

Perfect day for a cruise today; awesome weather, a heap of brilliant cars, and a tasty shnitzel!
It was great to see a huge line of Skylines doing what they do best.

Great to meet a bunch of new people, forgotten almost everyone's names already.

Thanks to Terry for the opportunity to pilot your beautiful new Evo; seriously impressive for a standard car. :wub:

    • 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.
