Holy sh1t... i got to work today thinkin ok i gotta find a decent mechanic to do my service, then i get home and see this...

You guys kick ass, sounds like a plan to me, if we make it on a saturday or a sunday we can use my my work... i dont have hoists or anything as we have just moved premisis... not sure of when is good for you guys but yeah, can put on a bbq there and a few drinks... should be a good day i reckon....

Thanks alot guys really appreciate the effort!

the more the merrier, let's plan this and whoever wants to join in and get their car done just let all of us know..

let's make this work eh, nice BBQ and snacks and some beers and soft drinks, should be an awesome day out and save all of us that want to take part a whole lot of money :P

Andrew :D

sweet as, so whens a good time for everyone?... i predict my car being off the road for at least another month so whenever anyways, plus it just sits at work so...

Lets try and organize dates eh... oh, beer or spirits??...lol

A saturday would be better for me too. Oh, and better make it just beer (with plenty of food) I dunno about you guys, but I didn't think half smashed would be the best way to attempt this.

2nd weekend in June maybe?

ok, is the 7th of june good for everyone?? gives us plenty of time to get the parts together and more than enough time to organise the bbq n sh1t at work... if ya's wanna do the weekend after that is cool also...

Btw... i dont know how many ppl are attending but if less than 10(please let me knwo how many are coming) i was thinking a carton of corona and heaps of chops, steak and snaggaz... is this enough or do you pissheads need more??... either way, dont matter as us guys requiring the service are paying!!

lemme know eh?

ease up mate! i edited my post saying that cause i realised that, it said just make sure you are all finished if your planning on drinking and to be careful not to mess up your timing, no need to go off :( im not having a go at your idea either the best time to work on cars is with a bunch of mates its a great idea :D

    • 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.
