Phil i hope you are still talking about racing... :P

haha dunno havent sorted it yet. maybe this weekend, who knows? I just cant pull the engine out atm if it is stuffed I am in the middle of moving to a new place and dont want to move a car in pieces at the same time

But yes, I have done it in the dark, and it was the *best* fun I've ever had racing....brilliant :P

And its great to watch too....all the cars piling into turn one flames and sparks everywhere.

Have you done it in the dark? If found it super hard to spot the curbs when you are running really close, just gotta trust the car in front.

Well done re your results at EC :(http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=89008

should be a great meet. I'm sure duncan will get his shit together for this one. Duncan i'm not much of a mechanic but i can drink shitloads of beer and watch you work and tell you where you're going wrong. will that help?

Phil, next time i see you in the paddock i will have a Skylines Australia sticker for you mate. We better put it on the back so other cars can see it.

Hay Blokes,

I'll hope to take you up on the sticker at the day nighter!

Hopefully I can take another win in this one, I won the last one I ran in.

Duncan, good luck with the moving house, I don't envy you on that subject at all.

Thank you all for your congrats on the championship win , I am real proud to have done it, and even more proud of our team!

These blokes put in up to four nights a week and all day on Saturdays to get these two cars to the front of the field, all I do is point and fire realy!

Jeff ( DAD) is the most pasionate and generous man in pit row and he deeply loves us to win, we both ( Dave Loftus & I ) try not to dissapoint him!

Any way, hope to hear from you all soon.

Cheers MIB

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • 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.
