Thanks Fatz,

Had a top day... is a good challenging few corners for drift, Nice and long. And to think I was going to behave myself and just drive in the lapping group... pfft!

Thanks Neil mate, was a big shame that we couldn't get that thing of your going for more than 4 bloody laps, but look at it on the bright side, at least you made it worth while for the truck driver!!! :)

Dan.

also why the blanked out number plates? just in case big brother was watching????

Unlike most of the cars there, I did not want to have any warranty issues later on. Car makers and insurance companies often have spy's at the track days taking happy snaps for use later on.

Who said Ford's cant Drift......I had the best track day ever.....Pete, when is the next one :wassup:

Great day, i struggled alot with understeer in the drift sessions, i've never had my understeer much at all before but it's the first time i've been somewhere big enough to drift higher than second gear. I did some playing with camber and tyre pressures which seemed to help me a little toward the end of the day. I was in the blue gazelle with gold on it by the way.

As for the crash in the drift it was my mate in the two tone gazelle that hit fernando in the gold sileighty. 4 cars were drifting in a row with fernando first, he spun and the 2nd and 3rd cars dodged left and right, my mate in the gazelle was still broadside and tried to spin and miss him but ended up hitting him going backwards. Thats drifting for you though.

I didn't have such a great day ,,,but hey I got to catch up with all you drop kicks which made my pain easier. It pleased  me greatly to see Dan get on pace so quickly. 1st session buddy you were on it. I was also pleased to see the counrty boy hold out that crapy Mini,,,well done mate.

All in All I think SAU had a great day.

Thank Fatz.

Cheers, No way I'm letting a mini past the mighty RB20... :P Four hour drive well worthwhile. Thanks Fatz. I'm in next time.

As far as i could tell with the drift crash it wasn't really anyones fault. The 4 cars were drifting as a group and the first one spun, the last guy really didn't have anywhere to go (the other two only just missed the spun sileighty anyways). The two drivers talked later and it seemed cool. The damage was probably about equal to the two cars but the S13 looked much worse.

great to see so many SAUers out there giving it a go, and also that all of us made it home without real incident.

esp well done to the wagga boys for making the effort :(

Pete, I hope you'll be able to ditch some of those driftland bookings and move them to the south circuit again, that was a great mix :)

      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

      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?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      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.
