Suggest pulling the rear bumper and side garnish panels off, the silt's likely gotten in there...

Yeah 100% everything is coming off. My hot plates are screwed and a new set is in the post atm. Everything is coming off the shell and treated cleaned repainted and refitted. I’m still a couple of weeks taking the Gerni inside the shell. I’m just preparing under the tank for the replacement going in. I don’t want to pull it out again

ergh, gross! Satisfying job tho! 

Yeah man,

had a little water in there but pumped clean now, I figure every job big or small it doesn’t matter, In step closer to putting the rego plates in the silo sub lol

Did it fire today?

Na man, I’m getting fuel to circulate putting hose from bottom of filter straight onto return. But including the fuel system I get no fuel making it back to return. 

Same here man same here. I will swap a few things around tomorrow and try again. It wants too,aero start has it firing. Just need the damn fuel to go where it should.

I don’t think so, I have 12v at injector’s spark, and it wants to start with startyabarstard. Pressure is solid at the back of the regulator.

what you see is how I got the car, obviously it’s been tampered with and previous overs probably tried to get it started. No idea what they screwed with or put back the wrong way.

already with fuel, the feed from pump was onto reg and return hose to rail feed. So anything is possible.

 

Apologies for the shit photo it’s all I got in my phone from talking with friends about the situation as I was facing it.

Yeah the whole car, past roof totally out of sight. The old owner said the roof lining didn’t need cleaning because there was a air pocket trapped haha.

it doesn’t matter I’m not going to quit, I’m going to put number plates back on this sub haha

I guess I’m getting gaskets for the intake manifold because it’s coming off,injectors out for a little look see next.

Reg is dead! No freeing that thing, rail is ok.

 
lines were backwards but not anymore. 

let’s see what this new reg does. Hopefully the injector’s don’t need to come out 🤞

Na man. Had a Quick Look at the hose up connecting to the manifold. The other one goes to the reg. I will remove it and have a look see this week while I’m waiting for my new reg to arrive thanks.

i will replace the hoses with new just incase I miss something. Only cheap little air hosing anyway.

Some orange crystals showing up with a flush of the rail. No choice but to pull these injectors give it all a good clean.

Pulling the manifold for a good clean also

rust treatment and paint ready to accept her new tank in the coming weeks 🤙

    • 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
