Event:
SAU's South Cruise 2015


Description:

Our second cruise of the year is going to head south, all the way through the scenic rim to Queen Mary Falls and back to Boonah for lunch.

The route will down past Beaudsert and Boonah, then up the Great Dividing range to Queen Mary falls past Lake Moogerah. We will then head back down to Boonah for lunch at the Dugandan Hotel.

To make our way back to Brisbane we have a few options of nice country roads depending how we feel on the day, and can take a quick trip up Mt French at Boonah after lunch.

For the range conscious (*coughE85cough*) from South Brisbane back to South Brisbane factor in a round trip of around 300km's, probably closer to 250 if you return via the servo's at Ipswich

Location:

Meet point will be at the Calamvale Center carpark. Note the only way in is via the main entrance, there isn't any way in near the hotel itself

Decided to move lunch from Warwick back to Boonah, as I feel the extra distance to drive out there (and back) is a bit much.

I'd like to book a table at the pub for lunch, so It would be good to know firm numbers by Saturday

There will be at least a couple of Z32's there, but probably not mine. Have to make sure I'm ready for the following weekend.

Cool, will be nice to do an emergency engine out half way up the mountain.

    • 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.
