Hi,

Been a member, stealing ideas and advice silently from the shadows for a few months. This is my 1st post so be gentle and use some lube. I've simply been recording my progress with my 33 4 door doing some motorsports with plans for more, much more. intending to run Time Attack QLD series and such as well as a few hill climbs and other miscellaneous events and the odd skid here and there to fill in the gaps. I've been uploading the vids of what I have been doing to YouTube so figured I'd share the link here, seems the people most likely to be interested. Saves taking heaps of pics and writing it all down, just put together a vid and let the google corporation store it in the public domain for me. I'll share a couple of links, will depend on what you interested in, if anything as to what you might want to click on. Remember, I'm learning as I go, my 1st skyline and track car, so mistakes are made, but left in as part of my learning progress, and you might not make the same mistake if you see me do it.

1st Episode, a bit cringe worthy but it's where it starts, this and the next 2 sorta tell you what I have to work with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qez549XL2s

28th Episode, A few skids at QLD raceway, if that's your thing.

29th Episode is the 2015 Jap Nats.

I have no idea if those links will work as I had to type them in manually? I assume it's a bot prevention thing?

Anyway, figured I'd share, if you like it well great, if you don't well good for you too.

Well I must say I'm overwhelmed by all the comments lol. Regardless... Here is the latest event vid.

Plenty of build vids to go with the event vids, I just find the events are a bit more watch worthy as the car is being driven, as opposed to worked on. But if the build stuff is your thing please do like, subscribe and other stuff... I think share is the other thing you're supposed to ask for on youtube lol.

Anyone able to tell me why I can't make this link work.... would be helpful.

Great to see someone getting so much use out of their car, good on you! Hopefully my car doesn't know how to use YouTube, it might get a bit jelly....

 

Thanks man, I think you car might think itself lucky it doesn't get the abuse too

    • 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.
    • 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
