G'Day Boys

I am up for a drive this Sunday.

Hows about a drive down through Waterfall National Park at Sutherland. It's a bloody good drive i reckon. Anyway, say we meet at 9:30, at the corner of Henry Lawson Drive & Milperra Road. We can meet in the Burger King/Taco Bell/KFC carpark. Then head down Newbridge Road, left onto Heathcote Road, then onto Princes Highway, and go for a hoon through the National Park.

went out for a late dawn run this morning through the park with a few members from SAU.

this is after my karaoke world episode this morning, getting to bed at 4am to get up again at 8am with a massive headache.

we did the park and then stage 2 through coledale and thirroul all the way down to bulli and then to sanden point where i took a dip in the ocean....

a morning swim is fantastic for hangover's. fullstop.

I'll be up for it this Sunday if I get the details before then. I guess I can meet you (bigvis) in forestville.

Firstly I need to figure out how to put my headunit back in because its swimming in the hole in the dash without the metal mounts. It doesn't seem possible to get the HU back in with the mounts attached - God only knows how I removed it in the first place. :bonk:

i'm not forcing anyone to do anything! last week i was in bed at 4am and back up at 7:50am...

the way i see it is this:

if you go later you contend with more traffic. this can mean less fun!

when your cruising home at 12:30-1:00pm you still have half a day left to do anything you want...its a great feeling, trust me.

you'll appreciate getting up and doing something in the morning. sleeping is boring, you were created on this earth to LIVE, not to sleep! :) make the most of your weekends - why would you want to spend it sleeping!?!?!?!

:(

OK. new meeting spot.

on the King Georges Rd, Lakemba just past Georges River Road heading south, there is a BP and Hungry Jacks.

Can't miss it...meeting time is Sunday 22nd, 7:30am with the aim of leaving at 8am sharp.

Straight to the national park, Sutherland - toll booth to toll booth

Stop at Stanwell tops for a yarn

Continue on down to Bulli via Coalcliff, Coledale, Thirroul etc. to Wanoona beach.

This is one of Australia's best surfing beaches and also has a private feel to it, although the carpark might be too small depending on how many ppl come...

Have a quick dip and then back up bulli pass, f3 and then sydney...should be home by 1:00 to 1:30ish.

    • 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
