Hi all,

I was thinking that it would be nice to organise a bbq for the drift day. Not only for the members of this forum, but also SAU members from around Aust who are making the trek over here:)

And, everybody loves a barbie so any excuse will do.

Have met with some positive responses so far, T-man has kindly offered to provide all those interested with cheap (reckons it will cost about $1 per head - is that right tim?) snags etc which is awesome.

but a few things need to be sorted.

1) Does anybody have a bbq that could be used on the day?

2) Bread, we need bread. Anybody work at a bakery, otherwise I will just have to go out and buy some:) Oh, and some onions never goes astray.

3)ICY COLD BEER! cant have a bbq without beer! Most of the locals (us) will be able to provide their own esky and ice. But our visitors wont be so lucky perhaps? Plus, some may need to grab a beer because they forgot (of course we couldnt sell the stuff, but if someone was to 'give' me a couple of dollars, I could 'give' them a beer;))

So if anybody has a spare esky that would be great:) I spose I can provide some ice.

Another thing that I was hoping someone could let me know about, is there any undercover up there at the track? Cos I dont know what the weater will be like, and may need tarp etc to keep the rain off the bbq:D

IF ANYBODY can help with the above, please respond asap.

If there is anything anybody else thinks would be a good idea, please post up here. I would like to also get an idea of how many people would be interested, so T-man can make the appropriate arrangements.

All you interstate guys, please let post up if you are interested in bbq and beers, cos we need numbers! including any non SAU hangers on that you drag along for the day;)

Cheers all.

Steve

Ok, My dad does 4wding and I'll ask him if he could kindly lend us his little camper 2burner for the day. If not, we have one at work in the storeroom that i could take thats a little bit bigger and probably better for the job :)

The BBQ is taken care of.

I'll look into meat a bit further today, but I need to know what you's think you'll eat, and i need a bit more definate numbers on what to buy too.

Let me know!

Bread will be f*ck all, someone can run through bakers delight, I think loaf's are 80c each and we would probaly only need two loafs I reckon..

Tim

Thanks t-man:)

I reckon we could go with sausage sizzle, so sausages only. Unles someone esp wants something different?

loaves of bread only have about 20 odd slices, if eveyone has 2-3 sausages (I'll probably have 4 cos I want to keep my shit locker in shape).

I dont mind getting the bread, onions, tomato sauce, napkins, oil, barbie tools and a chopping board - but if anybody can get em cheap (or for free) cos they have connections it wouldnt hurt. (I'm a tight arse:D)

Just realised we probably need a table to set up shit on, well not actual feces, but stuff.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, T-man, still reckon only 2 loaves of bread will cover it:p

Hippy, I am sure I could use a hand, thanks mate - someones gotta turn the sausages when I gotta make room for more beers:D

Currently stands at 14 + attending and Pawley has room in his esky for a carton ? is that right? I am sure we could find some light refreshing ales to put in there

Also, T-man has suggested, and its a bloody awesome one, BBQ breaky (eggs, bacon, snags) about 9am, with a few beers to kick the day off!

Anybody else up for a barby breaky?

    • 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.
