Ok so, I've got a little problem with my poor car, and being somewhat of the mechanical noob, I figured you guys might be able to give me some idea of whats wrong, and how upset my credit card is gonna be when I get it fixed. Basically I was driving home from work, when I noticed a loud whining sound (similar to hearing a turbo spool) when I hit boost. Thinking this was anything but good, I looked for somewhere to pull over, the car lost alot of power, and I barely made it up the hill I was on, to pull over. Having a quick look under the hood, and at the guages etc everything seemed fine, nothing was overheating, everything was reading as normal. I managed to get home, and now the car behaves perfectly normally, except that, while the boost guage will move, it will go upto just below zero and stop there, and the car obviously isn't getting any boost. Apart from that, the car behaves exactly as before. Someone point me in the right direction? Has my poor turbo gone up and died? (At least it would be a good excuse for a bigger one, hah). If you need anymore info, just lemme know... Edit: I forgot to mention, apon inspection of the air filter, while not overly dirty it did smell decidedly burnt, and a small piece of foam had made its way from the funnel down to it, if that makes any difference.

Seen a Silver 2dr R34 GT-T the last couple of days on Broadwater rd in the morning... very nice looking car! Also saw a dark greenish R33 with a SAU sticker on the side parked in the valley somwhere tonight.

I was most certainly too drunk to have been driving on friday, so I guess it wasnt you at all

Saw a white R33 going into the city sat night, prolly around like 1am? I'd swear I saw a SAU sticker on the side, wasn't you was it Liam? Friend of mine also saw a Skyline parked near mine at the car park on Rover St in Mt Gravatt, he wasnt sure what type, but seemed to be a dark blue R33

Wooo happy b'day indeed Erin May your mesh ever hold tight.

No-one was hurt, theres no damage to my car (or any more then there already was ) I have a court appearance next month on the charges of racing a 180sx, but I swear I was just accelerating really fast

White R34 GT-T Sedan, about 2hrs ago, around Aspley Maccas. On the back of a tow truck, on its way to the impound, I did a baaaaaaad thing

White, 2dr, spoilerless R34 down wynnum rd about 9:15 last night, didnt catch the plates, as I was on foot

Haha, great pic Erin, last I talked to Terry he had a load left over from when he did his car, so he can prolly help you out

WizardOz, visiting my work today Spotted the SAU sticker as he was driving in and was like ooooo Not a bad looking car, the oversized WRX style wing is interesting, and she sounded very nice going past the front door

I would've come, but Im working till 4 today, as ususal :

Slide is almost as dedicated to the cause of supporting the petrol corporations as myself

Shoot me an email, [email protected] with specs and desired quantity, I'll have a talk to the boss and see what we can do for you.

Any pics of your lowered GTT's? I'd be interested to see I don't really want to lower the front of mine (too used to driving a commodore, heh) but I'd like to lower the back a bit.

I saw the VR4 who was at the Dyno day on Broadwater yesterday

My mates 81 RX7 has power windows, the japs were well ahead of their time with this stuff

I want a sunroof! DAMN YOU!!

Yeah I've got it on my 4dr 34

That one is there EVERY friday night, I see it all the time, and often wonder the same thing

As usual Im working till 8, but depending on how I feel, I might catch up with you guys

Champion, thanks

Interesting! Where is the interior fuse box? I had a quick look the other day and couldn't spot anything Also, can anyone give me an idea as to whether the cigarette lighter is listed there?

So I know Im ages late, but Im lazy so deal with it Here are my pics from the Byron Bay cruise, as well as the little R34 meet we had afterwards; http://firefrog.isa-geek.net:1337/gallery/...-Cruises&page=1 None of you seem too fussed about plates, but if you particularily want them blanked, just let me know

Actually, sorry to semi-hijack But my cigarette lighter isnt working either, and I couldnt spot a fuse for it in the normal fuse box, anyone know where I need to look?

Sure did mate, not for quite a few hours after we left you guys though, hehe, I was pretty tired for work yesterday. We had great fun sat night tho, thanks for showing us where the action was
