Oh, gwaaaaaan!

I want as many stageas there as possible so we can get a photo to do the sandgropers proud - we need to show off how many awesome examples are in the most isolated capital city on the face of the planet!

hey mitchy its a good job u are coming along in a skyline as u can attract all the cop attention away from my stagea :) i removed the rear muffler tonight and only have a single 3.5' straight through muffler on it and its farkiiinnnnn stupidly loud and will sure get the wrong attention if we happen to see mr plod along the way :happy:

i need to buy another 3.5' muffler but not till the tune on tuesday so ill have to live with it as it is :) it sounds more like a rotary than a 6 cylinder with the cams lol

oh im excited to actually bring the stagea along this time and cruise with another 10 of them :)

so what time we meet at hillarys then???

my car doesnt attract attention, the screamer pipe is a factory option.. honest! :happy:

Mick Martin at SVI in QLD did the deed in sourcing 260 but..........Hah! Me dumb! Thort Chocolate Factory was back where we went throo that little village/market in the boonies, 2-4km before Gt E Hiway? When we hit Gt Eastern Hiway off Seabourne & I realised where we were I thought to self ; self, too many people back there & no parking, we must be skipping factory & going on to Whiteman Park. Don't tell Ann. She was hangin out for chocolate. Lucky she don't read maps/instructions & even luckier she's not on the net. :)

PS: Called on a few places to talk about D-Jetro install into 260 on Friday & Saturday, which was other half of reason to come down. You can talk to people on the phone but those guys play it pretty close to the cuff, or do not have on tap/ control of info or have closed up or are into something other than Apexi. Still no further ahead really so will be back down for sure. After further research! :O

nice cruise and cheers again kirsty for the map organisation :happy:

    • 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.
