Yeah, borrowed Dad's GTS-X, the two door black one.  (My old one).  I saw your car on the cruise, it even has Stritch9 plates hay.

Oh, I remember a Black GTS-x now!

and Yeah, i've got the plates STRICH9... (funny that eh?)

Next time you see me, come beat me over the head so I can say hi!!... I know its hard looking for people in a bunch, you have no idea who goes with which car!

Where did you get the idea STRITCH9 for your plates from?

Beat you over the head? You won't be able to say hi if your on the floor unconsious! Would you like me to beat you with a stick or got one step further with a base ball bat? (hehe)!

Well, Strichnyne is a poison used to kill rabbits back when they had the plague... or something like that...

Strich9 was my connotation of the word.....but some other chumps on the net copied me a few years back so i started using strich9ine..... but that wouldn't fit on a license plate to i reverted to STRICH9 for my plates... so yeh. life story.

I'm not a complete geek like troy who has "MASTRYODA" as his plates *slap*

as for the beating over teh head.. well...I hear my conversations are way more interesting when I'm asleep so I guess an unconscious conversation could prove quite entertaining! :P

Why did you want a rabbit poisen thing on your plates for?

Is your name Kym and your last name the same as some famous singer?

More interesting when your asleep?!? It would be funny, people always are funny when they are sleep talking!

Yeah I remember that Jag.  So the idea is you just have to be a enthusiast?  Summoner goes in his Commodore  

That's because Summoner's a fag!

j/k mark!

I have NO idea when the next cruise is jsut yet... might have to wander down the to event section and have a look see.. :P

20 questions or what huh ? :P

Rabbit poison is deadly... like me! GRRR *bark bark* (okay, that was my attempt at being scary, failed huh?)

yeh, my name is kym.... and who told you i was related to the famous singer ? i was trying to keep that under wraps around these folk! LOL.... or something like that anyways!

More interesting when i'm asleep see... that just involves me not cracking lame jokes like i always do... hehhe..

Well you just said it would be ok to go in our Commodore!

I was pulling your leg! *yank yank* see!

Nah, it's cool, we don't look down on people coz of the car they drive to cruises... we're more of an enthusiast based club, and not superficial assholes when another brand of car rocks up :P

like some OTHER *cough* clubs *cough* hehehe

But that is your last name and it is her first, how can you be related?!?

Did you like it at Warnbro High?

First name, last name, what's the diff?

Warnbro high ? how do you know about that ?

The fire was an ACCIDENT I TELL YA!! "ACCIDENT" I'm not a pyro....

*ducks and covers*

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
