I drove home from a wedding in Penrith last night at about midnight, and I could still smell the rubber from the burnouts as I was going past the Shell servo on the Highway at Eastern Creek.

what a great day!

Oh did you go :huh:

I heard the ute was nuts aswell

I want to go next time

Yeah, that was a really clean fj20 setup. Good to see the old school nissan motors still being used.

That s15 was trully nuts, so clean and stock looking yet it had a jatco and transbrake setup that produced 1/4 mile power skids! The rb25 in it still had the standard manafold, just had the throtle moved to the front!

All in all a great weekend but ya right, not enough skylines. I'm definatly bring mine down next year so look out! :ninja:

That Datto ute was off chops in a major way, 437 ft burnout :ninja: with no application of brakes was bloody impressive got footage of it & a couple of others.

Might be good to get the club involved as an idea seeing that there were some lines there but none from the SAU that I saw ( no SAU stickers ), was a top day glad Burnsie Geed me up to go :( .

The HQ 1 tonner they dynoed there had 898hp at the rear wheels which ran just before we left, they announced the warning lights for excessive power on the dyno were goin off ( maybe a cheap dyno :P ) heaps of goodies there to be seen. The only problem now is this continuing hunger for more power I have after spending the day with all the rev heads with the same desires of more power = more fun :laugh: .

that twin turbo cortina was from qld and won the drags on sunday. :(

Had the pleasure of hearing 1000rwhp haze the tyres past me at 100kph, it was the Trick & Mansweto capri that won the dyno comp at sumernats in jan. was funny cause i read the artical bout it in street machine the day before and then got to hear all 602 cubes of big block sing in the flesh!

Thats the beauty of powercruise! :rofl:

    • 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.
