Since the last street meet was a wash out, i'm aiming to get out there next Wednesday 9th March instead - hopefully the weather holds out and I can get close to posting a mid 13 this time round :)

Anyone else interested in going??

On a side note, I read in some WSID newsletter that got sent the other day that they are now supposedly separating V8's from Sport Compact class cars (i.e 4's, 6's and Rotaries) at their street meets. I guess this explains why I was always in the same lane in pre-staging the other week...

Additionally, I also read that you can reserve a staging lane (typically for car clubs etc) if you want to pair off amongst yourselves during the night. I'm not sure if this has always been the case, but even so, it would be an interesting night if we could get a large group of Skylines (or imports) facing off throughout the night. If there's any interest, maybe we could look to organise something in the upcoming months...when it gets a little cooler:)

Hope to meet some of you out there next Wednesday.

Brenden.

I was bummed about last night as well...Let's hope the heaven's are nice to us next week...

I heard last time I was out there that even if you get a car club to WSID one night, you just let the guys know & they'll try to set up the drags to comply with club...I was impressed... :headspin:

Anyways, don't know who you guys are but I might meet some of you out there...

hmmm....better go out and have a go before the semester gets too hectic....and before I get some more power :cheers:  

most probably spectate though....check it out first.

What time do I need to be there by ?

Scrutineering starts at 5pm if you're racing...with racing starting from 6pm.
You racing or spectating, Richard?

interesting question...

my helmet mysteriously found it's way into my car so I guess I'd better spectate, as I'd look like a bit of a tool sitting in the stands with a helmet on :cheers:

one question. Does anyone have a tyre pressure gauge I could borrow? I have a really nice snap-on one that a friend bought me for my birthday, but I can't for the life of me find it :P

anyway, if anyone who's coming could bring one with them, please pm me and I'll give you my mobile number.

I'm not going - ran out of time chasing burnout rubber for Powercruise.

oi can any1 get the photos of my car from the lady with the yellow wagon, rego EAV00L

there 10 bux each but ill fix you up if you can buy them 4 me

Call Peter Colburn (The guy with the yellow mazda wagon with the photos) on 42617793 and ask him to send you the photos COD. Much easier.

Bit of an up an down night for me...

Did set a PB on the one run I got a sub 2.3 60' time which is good (considering the crappy tyres I've got), but the knock reading on my PFC went through the roof on the next run, so I decided to park it and spectate for the rest of the night. Tuner will be getting a phone call tomorrow...

In detail,

R/T: .369

60': 2.289

330': 6.014

660': 9.017

mph: 82.59

1000': 11.604

ET: 13.783

MPH: 103.48

Saw quite a few nice Skylines out there tonight...a white R33 GTST running mid 11's and 2 nice looking GTR's caught the eye. Sorry I didn't catch up with any of you...spent half the night with my girlfriend and parents who decided to come and watch at the last minute.

I only did 1 run tonight. Had trouble engaging 2nd and 3rd gear so I parked it for the tonight and will be visiting the mechanic tomorrow.

It drives perfect on the street and circuit but lately doesn't like being dumped at 5,000rpm 5x in a nite :P

Good to see a couple of new GTR faces out there :)

Good to see Benm and NXTIME out there.

I got a few runs in, and managed a 13.010 at 103 mph. Car ran as high as 108mph so when I learn to pilot it better I should be able to get the 12.XXX I want.

Was great fun to line up against nick and FTR we came off 1 win each :P

Mason mate. I take it you have the PFC in monitor mode with the peak hold switched on? You will find that the huge knock reading is from when you started the car with the peak hold still on. try this. switch car on, turn on peak hold, turn car off, now turn car back on and you'll see knock of like 80+. clear the peak hold (but leave it on) and now do a run. My worst knock reading was 30 something and that's with a 7000rpm launch...

    • 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
