Lunchtime check in.

About to put this Navara that has been in here for 1 and a half months back togeather. Clutch finally got here.

Thinking of getting a second car just as a runabout to stop spending so much kesh on the black moneybox

Any suggestions on a car?

1) Who are you?

2) Why should I care?

Keep it short, the CoR33vette novelty has worn off.

I asked you the same thing last night, I believe your reply was something in the vicinity "you may not ask who I am"...

Welcome, gentlemen! I have seen the day that I have worn a visor and could tell a whispering tale in a fair lady's ear... To answer your questions

1. I am Nick, professional extrwhoredinaire. Owner of the abomination residing in Ga-Ton :wave:

2. I don't really mind either way but I'm here a lot.

Any clues on a budget?

All I'm hearing is "wah wah wah I paid someone to build a look at me car and now realise it's slow and expensive so I'd better throw out any and all cliche V8's are better lines and hope noone notices my little man tears".

fyp, for accuracy.

Hating being fooooolly hektik and hating WRX's are different things.

This is true.

Food time. Try not to miss me.

Red Rooter for lunch.

A Falcon mobile :woot:

Ants I still love you. I'd let you manage my funds any time ;)

Thanks Zac,appreciated as always.

Probably about 1500 and dosnt matter wheat condition Aslong as it runs

I swear I replied to this but it didnt show.

I had an excel a while back. Unkillable and cheap. Averaged around 6L/100, parts cost next to nothing and I didnt service it for 35000km and i stayed alive. As a runaround it was pretty amazing.

    • 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.
