Noice!

They are allowed aren't they Wayne?

Hey wayne - what do you use for tow hooks and 2nd bonnet restraint?

My CF bonet has pins, but your std setup has a built in 2 stage release (cabin lever/cable and release lever at front), same rules as supersprints.

I have a fixed front tow strap and use the stock tow points on the rear so should be good to go. And yes mate those tyres are sweet as. :stupid:

Gary and Matt have had to withdraw I think, car still not going OK.

But John and Paul are also club members so its a great showing.

Also some great news for club members - we have obtained one of the corporate areas above the pits for the day. Bring your member card and enjoy the warmth and good views :)

Was a great outing. Some photos up of the 35 but also got some of lots of GT-R's and that widebody GTS-T that got up on two wheels.

Paul was this you driving?

No Luke driving...this is at the end of the straight on his 1st lap...catch can full already and plumbed back into the inlet to keep it road legal. As Luke backed off oil sprayed back out the inlet through the AFM's resulting in the car stalling mid corner. Luke did very well to keep the car off the tyre barrier and on its wheels. We cleaned it up and removed the plumbing to the inlet, used a vented 1 litre water bottle as a catch can over flow, restricted the car to a 7000rpm limit and 16psi of boost to try and keep the car out there. His next session saw only 2 hot laps before bottle was full and spraying oil through the engine bay. To manage a best time of 1.18.5 was a massive achievement considering how de-tuned the car was and lack of track time.

dave, i'm running a T518Z on the silvia. great turbo for the SR20. very responsive and making 235kw atw. yeah more boost would be awesome, but the little ol SR would go POP I think!

    • 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.
