well nissan didn't have any posters at all i was hanging out for a 350Z one, but no go.

the only poster that were given out are a mitsubishi one (with the rally car evo 7 i think) and toyota were giving a formula 1 poster of their car.

went last night for a few hours not bad initial impressions were okay nothing really special there apart from the enzo.. had plenty of time to kill so just walked around checked out all the cars went about 4pm so not too many people but started to fill up later. Talked to a few of the car chicks also to kill some time, audi girls looked great and were friendly, VW girls were also not bad as were the Mini chicks, Toyota ones okay, most of the holden girls were a bit skanky I thought, didn't see any of the mitsubishi chicks they must come out later, Merc girls were nice and friendly talked to this girl for a while just casually and she let me sit in the AMG SL55 while she did the roof demo thingy - awesome hehehe. Chick on the lambo stand was pretty cool as well chatted to ger for about half an hour.. heheh. Sat in the 350Z very nice but the chick sitting on the stool next to the car was totally up her self.. Anyway cars - nismo 350Z farkin awesome looks fat just needs turbos you can order the whole kit form the dealer. mazda rx8 looked good but you couldn't sit in it, enzo was pure horn as was lambo murcielago speedster thingo, BMW M3 convertible, AUDi RS6 looked pure horn for a pimpin mobile as did the A8 and Bentley's.. Some of the stands pretty glitzy also lots of interactive displays etc. Holden 427 Monaro very disappointed wheels looked tiny for 220 grand large or whatever I want somethiggn a lot better, liked the green SS ute / panelvan with the mattress in the back hehehe. Ford GT and GTp looked great also seemed to be very poplular. Blood orange colour looked great I thought.. Ford staff were very helpful and keen and eager to please also. HSV cars were all locked which I thought was a bit rich esp as Ford were all open for every man and his dog, staff didn't seem to friendly either. the Nissan guy wouldn't leave me alone after started talking about the 350z, same with the mazda guy and the RX8. Seems Holden don't want to sell you a car. Even the Audi guy was happy to chat about many oo the cars also even opened up the RS6 for a quick look. BMW people seemed a bit snooty though. SAAB sales guy and girls wouldn't let me go without giving me all these brochures and a test drive heheh.

last stop went on the 4wd test track pretty small but well done for the area. Two very steep hills and descents and some other rocky and stone bits and a tilting seesaw ramp as well. One bit where the car balances on two wheels left and right momentarily as well. Went in a new pajero which was very impressive quiet and smooth and did it with ease, not bad for a family truckster. They also had the new Prado there, Hyundai Terrible Can and new landcuriser 100 series and Patrol I think.

    • 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.
