Jon (Arithon) is working hard to get everyone back in the same boat and will not rest until the problems whether technical or people are weeded out to make the SDU forums a better place.

Jon is receptive to input on these issues, please leave him a message on the SDU forums if there is anything you can suggest. Everyone has pretty strong emotions and opinions as to the future direction the forums should take.

I understand the NZ exec are having a meeting on Wednesday (5 June) to address the issue of the forums. I keenly await the outcome.

My plea is that we should avoid pouring more petrol on the fire for the moment. I'd like to keep the option of a friendly and constructive relationship between the Australian and New Zealand camps...

graemewi, i have mixed emotions on this.. i am very angry with the way myself and other's have been treated by sdu.. i myself was singled out by a couple of the mods for having opinions and also apparently put on a "to be banned" list.. now tell me how do u expect me to react to u guys now??

however i am not one to hold grudges especially when not all sdu nz member's think what happened is right.. i do have some hope that one day things may be patched up.. all i can say is i hope we dont make the same mistakes as u guys have over the last couple of months..

I deleted your post as all I saw it achieving was provoking another slanging match which none of us want.

Nismoboy

[RYAN] want devulge the reason. But theres a thread in the wastland section where he can do it.

Thats because you and Onarun challenged the mods authority and they didn't like it.

Hopefully we do learn from the mistakes made by SDU, it will make our task awhole lot easier. But with every club/business etc there are growing pains, good times and bad. Its how fast and well the club/business recover from the bad times that will show how successful they are.

I thought there only one the moderators had a problem with at the time, and that was only because of a few smart comments. Just remember, they, like the moderators here, were/are only doing what was set by a higher order. They can make mistakes, but also remember in the context of a discussion forum, it is better to err on the side of caution.

well maybe thats the difference.

you made a mistake there saying that the mods here do what they are told to do, because all of the moderators (bar 2 or 3) are all admin's of this site and the backbone of the new club... we moderate it very lightly at the moment also because we haven't actually set a terms and conditions for people to abide by.

OK. I apologise for that.

It may have something to do with the just over 250 members here, and the little over 2500 there. More people makes for a bigger mess. I'm sure if it isn't nipped in the bud here, there will be a call to get tougher. It is inevitable. As your population grows, you get more and more who have nothing better to do than to cause problems, it just happens. It's just part of being a human.....

    • 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
