just got swaybars on, and new front tyres. Need neg camber on the front, and brakes to go on, and then its all systems go.

Having major trouble finding front struts (the bit the calliper bolts to, and the shock sits in) with 4" calliper mount spacing (same as yours scott)... this is the only real holdup!

I organised today to take it to a bloke to get them custom mounted. If you can get them ill just go down that road, but if not ive got a backup plan. Import or aussie GTS, as long as they have the 4" spacing between the centre of each calliper mount hole. Its the part that the shock sits in, and calliper bolts to.

good luck :(

13 days to go till sprints...... I'll see what I can do Slip.. Might be quicker for you to get the brakes mounts fabricated. Will let you know. If only my 180b had some grunt I'd race that. Just installed F&R swaybars I had lying around. Lowered it and Got my hands on some full on rally rear koni's.. Can't wait to drive it...Go the Little Groover...

Ok. The QR Raceway site now has more details than last time I looked, so check there for how this all works and latest pricing.

Hope to see a few of you out there. Also was thinking of cruising out from Bris as a group, so let me know if you want to meet (like in the city) first and then head out. I wnt to be there by 11am to make sure we get places.

Hope to see u there ;)

OK, so now its getting close. Does anyone want to cruise out together or is everyone making their own way? We could work this out at the tyre night tomorrow night since I think a lot of us will be there.

So see you tomorrow, or saturday, or around.

Cheers

    • 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.
