Yeah man I'm back on the streets! I broke my back installing a pair of HKS Step 1 cams into the ol S14 today. Not really happy with the results. Whoever says they are fully streetable cams are full of shit! Bullshit you get gains below 3000rpm! It idles poorly and does not like staying under 2000rpm. That means no 4th gear at 60kmh. FFS... And any attempt at tuning doesnt solve anything. Garr....

if your shitting with them Leo, you can always lend them to me to install in mine... :lol: :lol:

whats wrong with the 33 duc?

alternator/starter motor is definately on its way out thus if dies on me again - again b/c it happen to me one night, then that would make the day no fun for me at all. having said that, its more then likely then ill take it. guy's place isnt far from my house, can always roll it home :lol: :lol: :lol:

hey sam, your status is offline. have you noticed that? yeah sil80 is fun - as you would know haha. its not for sale anymore, hence no link to its in my signature. plus i now have a t28bb on it =D

if your shitting with them Leo, you can always lend them to me to install in mine... :lol:  :lol:

LOL well the way the car is behaving now (a pig!) those cams are gonna be ripped out pretty soon..

yeah, im offline...but mysteriously here at the same time...

how come your keeping the sil? did the new T28 fix the idle smoke problem?

surprisingly the t25g is in prestine condition, i think the smokey idle was caused by 1/bad batch of fuel/s 2/incorrect plugs. im currently running the t28 at 1bar, same as what i was running on the t25g. but with the new turbs, OMFG is all i have to say. going way off topic, should talk this kind of jibberish in wasteland. :P

Is that WWW DOTs skyline that you bought? looks silimar, nice car :P

yep it is WWW DOT's , got it wed nite, it looks pretty funky ey? went 4 a cruise 2nite round town n every1 at the lights would shout out 'burn it up!' so annoying hhahahaha...gota get some custom plates, but dunno wat..was thinking my nickname "VANGE" or, cos my old skyline had a rattle noise from the exhaust, n this 1 doenst rattle, i was thinking the plate "NORATLE" as a joke haha, but yeh any1 got any ideas let me know...

this is great and all but in regards to the bbq, what is everyone bringing?? im getting about 2 - 3 kgs of marinated chicken wings which i believe should be plenty for everyone.

im gonna grab some of those bbq packs with all different crap in them and some snags, whatever everyone brings im sure itll be eaten

great turnout, great cars (any notice that majority of cars were all r33's) great cruise route, great bbq (nice selection of food), great conversations. did i meantion that it was great? :lol: :lol:

thanks Guy had a great day, that route was excellent got up to 160 lucky i slowed down or mine and driftr wouldve been walking home. Too bad for the rain but the cruise was great. Thanks to sam for only taking one pic with my damage in it :blink:

    • 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
