Yep, I bought, get the keys on the 15th of July. And I'll have you over before you have me over :P Check your PM's on facebook, I sent you a link

Yeah I DREAM of paying $270pw mortgage repayments .... try nearly triple that. But it is a nearly $1M house, so you have to expect to pay a decent mortgage :rant::D

Shit yeah, would be nice, maybe one day lol

Haha like your avatar Nick .... and where is MY VodkaO? (Or at least a hat)

Had to celebrate, we just won Gold for both rums (white and dark) and with our tequila at The World Spirit Show!

Got a Tequila Blu shot glass for you mate

Congrats mate, no doubt at this rate you will,

barely been home lately, got so much on at the moment between 3 jobs (collecting them at the moment) and family illness

Not good man, best wishes to you :P

I'm not sure on the whole setup but I think you can get adult entry apprenticeships that pay you decent enough money to survive on. Does your missus work too? That would be a big help. My point is, nothing is impossible, difficult yes, impossible no

I just turned 27 and I'm a first year apprentice :P

Thinking about getting into a trade also. Want to work in and around cars as I have no interest in anything else. Narrowed it down to either panel beater or mechanic.

Don't do mechanics. No money in it unless you own a garage that is successful

    • 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.
