Ooooh, be interesting to see how the next few races go! A very coo; thing is on the cusp of happening...crosses fingers

Is this still on the wheel size topic or something different Roy ?

C'mon !! Share !! :)

Well a Sierra has just been brought in which shoudl be running late this year...cant recall if it was an Eggenberger, Rouse, Niedzwiedz...cant remember, but its a genuine car out of Europe which has titles under its belt.

Also there is a possibility that a big name driver may be entering the series with the purchase of his own car :P

Way cool !! Sierra = screaming fast and then............POP !! :D

This other mystery person wouldn't happen to be Mr. Brock would it ? I beleive he was like a giddy school girl at the last meeting in Vic.......

Hell, the more the merrier !!

You could be right, you could be close, or you may need to think about who has driven similar cars to Brock, even teamed with Brock :D

Roy,

where is this Sierra that you speak of, and who has purchased it?

Not sure of the details...ill ask the question of the guy that mentioned it in passing. In the other thread one of the heads of the series posted...perhaps he can give the good oil on it?

hey dude,

did u manage to find any news on this Sierra?

This is from the owner of an RS500 in the UK...

"...I was at Donington last year for the RS500 reunion, the cars there with an Australian connection were the Moffat / Rouse '87 Bathurst pole car, the Rouse / Brock car which is owned by Steve Matthias who races in the UK Ford saloon car championship in an escort cosworth, and I was in my DJR sierra number DJR 1, this is the car that was second at Bathurst in '88 and sold to Robb Gravett for the '89 BTCC.

There was also a Texaco Eggenberger car which has a very good chance of racing in Australia at some point.

I cant wait for the circus to roll into Vic. Actually if my car is back on the road ill gladly drive to NSW as i dont think i can wait until Sandown in November

The '87 Rouse/Moffat sierra mentioned above is the car that has been recently brought back to Australia and is a chance of racing later this year (LOL...if things go to plan)

Obviously not cryptic enough.....

Hooks

Huh...lol doesnt what i said make sense?

LOL..it was a cut and a paste thats all. Essentially the '87 Rouse/Moffat Sierra is back in Aus and i hear is goign to be raced. And as for that other news i was excited about...i heard that young Jim Richards was keen to acquire an ex GMS car to start competing with...it will be interesting to see if it pans out.

    • 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.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
