i was thinking this too the other day, but cause i now work saturdays, i'd prefer if it was on a sunday. i was thinking of something like a photo session, like out the front old parliment house, down near the lake, where we can get on the grass, take some pics, then go for a cruise along cotter rd or where-ever......?

Hey Cool. Can stay at mine o'night Sat if you want that is.

I'll let you know, thanks for the offer [sounds good].

BTW I saw a certain GTR the other day, don't think it would be running too good with the air filter pods and such in the boot........any deadline on completion yet???

This Sunday is a bit short notice for most people Shaun.

As for Route.....why not start at the Museum (meet point) then head up Parks Way to Coppins Crossing turn off?

Head down there and then make our way onto Uriarra Road (right hand turn). This will lead us (the more exciting way) to the Cotter BBQ area where we could stop and have lunch/food/break.

Those who want to depart at this point can take the short route home while those who are game can continue onto Tharwa and even further beyond (the roads after Tharwa are just awesome).

You'd be looking at about an hours worth of driving (not including breaks and stops).

It'd also be great if peeps could get their hands on CB's for such an event.

EDIT: Hell, if time permits we could even pull into Tidbinbilla Reserve or the Deep Space Tracking Station and grab some awesome pictures. If you wanted to do this you'd need to start around 1330 - 1430 to leave enough time before dusk (those pesky roos).

Dyno day would be good. 4wd dyno this time would get a bigger turnout.

Theres only one in Canberra, and they arnt overly "friendly" with pricing, which is why its always 2WD unfortunately :dry:

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      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.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      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!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
