I just put a magic windscreen in my car. Be interested to know details of other places to get them though as my current source (YT) only had the one and I wasn't able to find any other local sources.

In other news I got some THC stage details yesterday. Apparently Barwite looks like fun as its nothing but 9's + 10's for the first 2.5kms! I really need to get out there and have a look at the roads.

I have been told by JA that if you are going to recce Mt Buller tell the base office that this is what you are doing and they might waiver the $35 entry fee.

Magic Screen? Heated?

TT

I'll be interested to see how you like the heater. I asked some people about them when I started my car, and some hate looking through them, and some don't see them. I decided to save monies, and kept the heaterbox in my car for the sake of 4-5kg

Actually that was me. The car wiggled a tiny little bit - mainly through the steering wheel - when we hit some standing water and I wasn't expecting it - but at 200km/hr it gave me a minor heart attack!

In what way Jess?

I'm just hangin' to get back in the seat :blink:

Its been so long since I have been in a seat :P Havent been on that side since May :(

Do you find it takes a bit to get into the groove??

Im probably just being paronoid but have always been a bit of a stresser and being in another new seat can be a bit overwhelming at first just getting up to speed with the new driver I guess...

Im probably just being weird like usual LOL

Hahaha, it can be difficult to get in the groove, but I find that recce gets the bugs out and goes a long way to readying towards actual competition.

I suppose it can be daunting being alongside another 'new' driver, but again...as you know...recce helps!

I wish I could spend the time to do recce...I guess its my own fault aswell...But no driver I have sat next to so far as been in the "main game" so to speak and that serious...So I fly in Nav and Fly out again...

I would love to learn to write my own notes and get that much time off but with my motorsport schedule time off is limited from work as I do so many other events...

Ok will stop being a princess and suck it up... :cool:

Just would like more frequent events through out the year to stay ontop of the nerves....

Just venting :P its been awhile..LOL I am excited tho love MT Buller area its so lush and adventerous!!!! :blink::P:(

    • 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.
