wrxhoon,

I am interested I will PM you, I have lost your number. Thanks.

Busted Zed,

Come on pretty boy, the number of times your nissan has been immobile and you want to mouth up about me being soft because of bald tyres. I will keep the lipstick comment, and ensure I dish it back to you the first time you soft up on me. I checked out the forecast and it said rain, but I still intend on turning up. John do you want to do a wet weather challenge. I will give you .5 sec start.

Hey Doughboy we do heaps of track days and drift and now drags and the zed is strong and we push it hard it is not a dyno queen.

Paul yes if wet not on so you can keep your 4wd which would flog me for sure. I wonder how much you would beat me by with 4wd in the wet and then disconnect your front drive shaft and we race rear wheel only in dry. Zed says CYA.

By the way just got home from late night tune after some more tinkering we have been doing last week. Just hit 401rwkw with no more boost and no loss down low with more mid range and top end. Makes 200rwkw at 3400rpm. 10s here we come. Hope weather is good. If rainy or looking like rain then it will be off. If a dog looks like pissing in the marshalling area it is called off.

John, a local workshop by the name of RUF Performance has offered to do the dyno run and boost tune for the same price you offered me, so I'll go with them (much closer), hopefully I'll see you tomorrow night!

I'm still so excited and at the same time very nervous

10s here we come.

You've said this before, John. To be fair though mate, your car could of done it the other day with the right tyres instead of those horrible P-Zero shit-bombs.

You bought Pirelli Slicks for the track cos they're what you're supposed to use - do the same with drags and you'll run the easy tens you never knew you always wanted :D

Well I went out and bought some new tyres last night so Im am all clear if it does not rain tonight.

How do we know if they have called it off, I have an optional meeting from 5-6pm today so I would like to go if the Drags are off.

John, assuming its clear, what time are you heading down?

I am keen and will be there around 4pm I guess. Sunny now this morning but forcast rain so? Does anyone know of a website or do we do the old fashion thing and call WSID to see if on?

Yep 2rismo got the drag wheels and tyres now, line locker and more, just to slam dunk it.

Dezerteagle no probs we are flat out anyway and hope to see you out there. There will be plenty of zed bait for you as a few coming.

Hey B man such confidence now. By the way you coming with the beast?

Paul if your engine falls out then I might listen otherwise get there, and put your lipstick back in your purse.  Or was some wimp from work posting for you?

Look out boys, the boat owner is getting mighty c0cky.

I thought you were sick, I have spoken to your mum and she told me if you didnt work you cannot play. :jk:

Can't believe it's going to rain, I got 70kw out of the car for tonight, this morning.

John, I think you should read this thread too, 70kw for $70

The mechanic said the timing was set all the way back.. he advanced it abit and says its ok since there is no pinging and it's still running very rich.

Have you practiced with the line lock yet John? Simple on paper, harder in reality...

Can't wait for tonite providing it's on. Just wish the Hawks weren't playing as well. I'm so torn... AAHHHH!!!!!

Even have some fuel lined up to keep the timing into it :P

Someone out Penrith way get these clouds to ***rightoffplease!

    • 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
