Hi guys

I just picked this up from Brycey:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fs...Da-t212690.html

Havent had a chance to drive it much yet, but looking forward to the 10 hour drive back to the gold coast this morning lol

The car will be my daily and will double as a towcar for my evo 6RS- best of both worlds!!

Cheers,

Mitch

Excellent! Congrats!

It will be good to have another Stag on the Gold Coast: there's so few of us...

Awwww man, Bryce could have at least brought it down to the Thursday night Coasties meet ONCE, couldn't he? *shakes head at Brycey*

Oh well, like Ian said, at least it'll be staying within the club.

Congratulations, and welcome to the Stagea crew!

hope the drive went well mate! and i really hope you enjoy it as much as i did :)

im very happy that it has gone to someone who is in the loop, as ian said

and sorry nick :P i was a bit slack :(

hope you love it mate :):(

Wicked cool brycey.... loved that ride of yours, will be good to see it out on the next cruise still.

Welcome to the club mitchy! i only got my 260RS a couple of days ago! im from th narangba area which is about 1.5hrs north from you i reckon. Cruise again in a couple of months. August i reckon.

absolutely adore the car but it really needs some better wheels to fill out those guards :down:

since taking those shots i've installed some big ass spacers

but yes- some r34 GTR rims would looks pretty awesome i reckon!

nice cars mitch. :)

is the TME new-ish? i think you only had the stag and RS last time...

i was tossing up between a legnum and an evo 6 when i bought my leggy in late 07.. ended up getting the leggy due to price, then evo prices came down :/

Hey Mitch,

If you are ever on the south side of Brisbane on the weekends, drop and we can compare r34 fronts and you can try my 34gtr rims just to tease you :D

You would still need to run spacers on the front with 34 rims as the gtr front is wider in the guards. I need some as well, probably

20-25mm

nice, nice, nice and nice grass too :)

out of curiosity, what do you do for a crust?

retail banking :ermm:

nice cars mitch. :laugh:

    • 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.
