Hi Jayce,

Wont be coming up this year :D , going to the Phillip Island Hot Rod / Nostalgia (sp?) show :blink:.  Would have been great to meet up with you all again, espically now that my car is back on the road.  A whole list of mods have been added this year and i probably would have entered the SummerNats if i was to come up.  Oh well, there is always next year :D.  Have a great weekend and see ya next time.

Bugger;woulda been good to catch you up again,Al! Have fun at P.I.-hope the weather holds out!

tryed to ring ya jayce, but went to message bank, probably too late, ohwell, have fun

I was racing at the time,which is more important to me than answering my phone...which is why I have "message bank"-to leave a message! And you're right:too late now! Meh...

o....k..... so at this stage, it seems to be, Jayce and E, Nik and + 1 i'm guessing, and myself and a friend

Yep;pretty much it from SAU,including ib6ub9! Got a few car enthusiast friends tagging along,too...

If anyone doesn't want to take thier car in, then just come to my place and i'll take u in, in the 'Hatsu.

Hahahahahaha! LMAO! "The 'Hatsu"! Now I feel like Andrew has a proper Japanese car,even when it's only a Charade! A nice "japanese" spin the way that "'Rana" is Aussie for...well,you all know what I'm getting at...

Are we driving our cars in or avoiding that will other cars!!! Not so much attention!!

Just a little "heads up" for those that want to bring their 'Lines etc;there's a car park that's usually not noticed just behind Da Cellini's in a little laneway accessed from the Ford dealership side...Just have someone check if there's space b4 driving in-it's a pig to turn around in if it's full!

Rain,rain,go away...and let us watch the cars in the dry! I'm going to the restaraunt regardless,but I have to call to see if they can still seat us under cover outside or fit us inside...

I'll be back to you all shortly...

A top night had by all,I'd say! Good food,top company and too many cars to look at=a great time! Whilst there was a huge Police presence,they would have to have been the coolest,most friendly crew I've seen in Braddon ever. I'm sure a few deserving people felt the law at a few isolated times,but it was still flowing smoothly,without the forecast street closures,violence or hoons happening,by the time we departed(early morning).Thanks for those who attended;your honesty and help making sure the bill at Da Cellini's balanced out was appreciated,and having you there was even better! Those that either "pulled a heartstring",or got "inconvenienced" on the way there;too bad you didn't make it!

Simply, just a great night!

Some incredible cars, and some seriously tricked out paintjobs, not to mention the wheels on 1 particular S2000, who's tyres were so low profile i'm yet to be convinced that they weren't painted on?

Definately an annual even from now on!

Many thanks to the few of us that managed to make it, it was great to have your company!

yeah sorry i didn't make it. had some mates from out of town in the car so i just went for a quick drive down lonsdale.

saw an audi A4 go up the back of a 70's corolla, was hillarious, even the cops standing on the footpath laughed at him. audi had no damage, and i'd be surprised if the corolla isn't a write off.

sorry i left early guys. we'd just had enough after about an hr..... plus the next morning, i came to discover that some c0ck had swiped 1 of my volk centre caps while it was parked in braddon :blink: ......

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
