No body take any notice to kellie's post. ( no offence mate)

Steve is a very trustworthy mechanic, so is Nick and benny just rocks my jocks off.

for those playing at home Smooth garage is becoming one of the most busiest workshops in the Adelaide Area.

For a place that has only been onpen for not near a full Yr they are becoming a very well known workshop.

They have worked on my R32 sedan when i had that and have worked on alot of very well known cars in SA.

Do not assume anything untill you meet the owners and get your own opinion of there workmanship.

I foot know if you were with SAU last christmas but we had a massive cruise about 30 cars and all he wanted to do was play with my phone but he is one year older now and on his L's so hopefully cars will interest him more than guilds and WOW

Kellie your a friend of mine, just keep your opinion to yourself because no one else is complaining doesnt mean you have to :D

Why is it you're only allowed to say good things about any particular workshop, but you can't give negative feedback? I for one would like to be warned on where not to take my car. Rather than find out the hard way.

Its as if workshops in Adelaide are a protected species :down:

Yeah i was talking about else, but spoke to Kellie and figured it all out!

WOW 2 AND A HALF HOURS TO GO PEOPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

woooooo 2 more HOURS but the weather seem to be raining abit

Hey Kien I'm Tom, the guy that was in the passenger seat of the black 34 taking a few photos. Cruise was a bit of a flop hey. Everyone was too busy doing stupid crap at Smooth, was funny as though.

Did you see them tie that mattress to the Lancer as we left :D

    • 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.
