I believe that funky is sri lankan and at the moment is in NSW. I know that his mum and dad?? are in NSW so heopfully this wont be a sad holiday for him or his family or anyone else on this forum for that matter.

It truely is a tragedy and one that should really have been a lot less severe if the countries other than Sumatra were warned as there was a 2 hour gap between the time it hit sumatra and the time it hit Sri Lanka and the other cournties.

when I heard penang was hit I was soooo thankful to god that my gf had left from penang with her family a few days before as she was holidaying there a couple of days before christmas... she rang me to ask me if I knew anyone affected, and all I could say was "thank god I've still got ya".

As for me n my fam its been a good christmas, no one that we know are directly affected. Apparently there's been a bit of mild flooding on the street outside our old house in colombo. My fam is mostly based on the western side of Sri Lanka which wasn't so badly hit.

Was wierd tho, we were all pretty amazed how ALL the lankans were workin together, disregarding the civil war that just seems to have passed. I guess it takes an act of nature to point out how small we are in the grand scheme of things and that its pretty stupid to be in a civil war over such a small island. Hope the feeling brings together all its people.

that's unbeleivable 100,000?

I'll be heading down to the Maldives mid Feb for my honeymoon, Just got news from the resort that it sustained no damage...thank god...My future in-laws just made the payment last week, there was a great chance that he wouldn't of been able to get a refund, if the resort had been destroyed.

Now I'm a bit worried if somethin happens when we're over there, cause we'll be in the huts that or on the water. Hopefully it'll be sweet I just wanna enjoy my honeymoon.

my heart goes out to the people who are suffering :D

      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.

      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
