45 shit you guys got hotter than us, thats average weather for us (you sooks)the highest wev'e had is 52 here, and working 30 meteres up in the sun no shade that kills ya a bit, nothing better than to go for a 2 hour enduro ride, you loose a fair bit by the end lol.

Dam it was hot today , I fit tyres and i was wearing leather gloves and the wheel nuts were still burning throught the gloves, then there are wheel alighments aswell with your head next to a very hot exhaust did i mention f***en hot exhaust . Well done to all the people who made it through the day good job boys and girls. Oh does this weather kill the amount boost the car has and slow it down , sry first turbo car :P

u guys need to harden up, try powder coating for 8 hours a day. in a shed with a low roof and an oven that sits at 200C all day and then think about the damn white spray painters suit that lets no air in or out. add to that there can be no fans which would blow the powder around. that makes for one really hot effen day. i used to have a thermometre in the shed but it used to scare the guys i would have come in and help for an hour or so once it got up to the 80C or higher mark

Haha i was going to mention powder coating. Today I was helping to powder coat for a while and tig welding. Started an hour early to try and beat the heat a little bit too.

It was meant to be my RDO today, when i found out how hot it was gonna be, i decided to go to work and enjoy the aircon there. The aircon at home sucks...walked in the front door this arvo, hot inside, mum said the aircon shat it self, so now im sitting in front on my pc which is warming the air, and no aircon.

So...who's around the aldinga area that wants to make a new friend???

spent most of the day in the pool. which was at a refreshing 30 degrees, probably less in the actual pool, temp sensor uses a weird spot to take the temp. and indoors its about 23. its pretty awesome.

LOL my A/C is churning out cold air. 22c but heading out soon for dinner.

go over to the beach mate. !!!!!

Well it was 52 degrees in the workshop today (I'm sure that was snow falling on the roof today), we have no A/C no fan and no fridge. My boss is in hospital and my apprentice is at Tafe so I had three mens work to do today including fitting tyres and changing exhausts, have the flu but can't go home as I'm now a one man band, started at 5am, finished bout 20mins ago (6:30pm) and have to go back at 9 when it cools down to do another three hours work on a Gas conversion, and somehow gotta get back up at 4am to start by 5am again tomorrow, I get home to my miss's sitting in the A/C watching tele and says,

"So whats for tea?". I looked blankly at her for a second and walked away after grabbing myself a cold beer. Anyone want my life? lol

Mind you I did 20 aircon's today so this weather is great for that, and more booked in tomorrow.

Oh by the way.... HOW ABOUT THIS HEAT?

"Everybody A...............SS.....................HO...............LE"

Beach is a good idea...however i don't want my car keys stolen...i don't trust them in a bag on the beach with me 50-100m away in the water. I sure as hell ain't walking there in this heat from my place. I have a temp sensor inside the house...35 degrees according to it.

I currently have an old wall mounted a/c going (on high) and 3 fans and it is still 31.9 degrees in my lounge room... and my bedroom is even hotter!

probably because of all those hot swedish chicks u brought back from europe.

bastard.

-D

HTFU guys

I got an air conditioned office running 22 degrees all day with ice cold cans of coke when I need them. I sit behind my computer all day doing bookkeeping and CAD work. Hard work it is.

Yeah, I know, sucks to be me!

:yes:

    • 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.
