Because SAU people can't be considered mates :dry:

Kinda disappoint...

They are. Don't get me wrong

I can kinda understand as far as which direction the club is going, but in my mind asking as its forward that's all the matters

Is it though? That's where the question lies.

Ok I must of got you wrong, cause I sure as hell class alot of the people I've met through SAU as at a minimum of aquaintances and the select few that talk to me on the reg I'd class as mates, he'll most of the TSO boys I consider great mates of mine :wub:

*weather that feeling is mutual I have no idea lol

Oh hell yeah! Made some great mates through the club as well! But over the past few months, I haven't had a chance to scratch myself, let alone meet with other mates. My best friend is getting married in September and I'm meant to be her maid of honour. Been that wrapped in club stuff that I haven't been able to help her with that. On top of the fact that I've been putting hours in to the club which has been detrimental to my productivity at work and has cost me financially and emotionally.

I can understand this Tony, especially with long work hours and kids to look after. Hell, I don't even have kids (unless you count dogs).

This is the sole reason for me not wanting to contribute more to the club, I barely have the time to sort my own life out most days anyways.

Having said that I do want to get to more club dinners, meetings etc, Just haven't had time.

    • 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.
