stupid n/a diffs.. will there be any water on track or just dry? prob a waste of time for me if its dry unless i get a new diff lol.

i guess i could weld it lol.

The exercises will be conducted on wet roads to keep the speeds down and minimize wear and tear on your car.

Also tyres need to be inflated to at least 40 psi so you should be fine.

:P love my weldy...first thing I did to the car...and probably the best haha

Till you start twisting/poping drive shafts or breaking bushes, etc. :)

Mechanical LSD FTW!! :D

Yeah everyone keeps saying that. But i have spares just in case....LOL! Been close to 2 years now.

you guys think there will be an issue with oil to the engine as the car is being thrown sideways on high revs? Or are we all weak beginners that we cant throw it around hard enough to starve the engine of oil?

Do you think they will take video footage?

i really wanna see what it all looks like later on.

Im happy to pay for a video later or something it would just suck if we couldnt

that why i was going to bring a friend or two?

but yeah got comfimation and it says no spectators...?

A camera in the car just doesnt cut it for drifting....

If all the spots are booked out can we go watch and check it out?

Just to answer a few questions..

Sorry but there will be no SPECTATORS. So dont just turn up on the day. You wont get in.

And Yes the track will be wet. So your NA will be fine.

I dont belive the office girls will be there on the day.

Cheers..Wayne

    • 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.
