As most of you are aware the Government is looking into new ways in which they can help save lives on our roads... ASM has written an Article relating to this issue and are asking all people to forward on a small cut out from their magazine (photo copied or cut-out) and send it off to the reply paid address for the "Improving Safety for Young Drivers" which goes to the "Minister of Roads"... If you don’t have a copy of this current ASM i will be posting the cut out in the next couple of days (finding a scanner) or if anyone else could post it in the mean time, please print it out and send it off I believe this article will prevent a massive knee jerk reaction from the government on imported drivers and it will also aid in helping keep our streets safe and teach our L/P Plate drivers to be safe, mature and responsible on our roads....

Foznice good point... it was a really long and detailed article going into the accident that have been occurring on our roads with Young Drivers and that high powered cars were the problem we all know the story.. and how the media has influenced the public into basically being against us... they believe that it's not the car or the age of our drivers or even a video game influence that makes any driver go fast or do anything stupid on our roads... They are saying that it's all down to education of all drivers on our roads that is the problem and that not even restrictions on young drivers is necessarily the answer... I will try and post up the article ASAP for people to read but in the mean time pop into a newsagent and have a read or even buy it if you get a chance...

I just read the article (i dont do alot at work). It is well written and presented puts forward alot of the issues that are discussed in this forum such as driver training etc. I will be defenately(spelling) sending the reply to Mr Scully and hopfully it may change his mind on a few of the ideas that are being put forward. I sure this topic has been discussed a lot so i will leave it at that.

      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
