Got back a little while ago from Horsepower In a Box, my catch can showed up today and has been installed...all i can say is "WOW" the thing is massive, will have pictures when i get the car back. All that needs doing now is;

ECU Install

Filter/Oil Change

Cold Start Tune and a Tune

I will be picking it up tuesday when the power runs are going to be done, i shall be recording them as well...just so i can watch my car blowing up over and over again :whistling:

This shit makes me wonder why we bother making good with cops:

Sorry, me no believe.

We do alot of investigation for the MAC and you'd be surprised how many drifters (lol, his username is even Dori) are either 'cut off' or 'run off the road' and can never give details about the other car......why would a cop fine him for reckless driving then?

Here's a direct quote from the guy:

the cops rang me about an hour after to say their fining me a $200 fine for failing to maintain controll of a vehicle

Classic example happened just today whilst doing obs in Elizabeth Downs......a brown/bronze R31 tried to do a big skid thru a patch of water and got all crossed up in McKenzie Road.

I happened to be filming at that very second so I turned the camera quickly and got it all on video with a hi-power lens.

So if it's anyone on here that I know, PM me ASAP otherwise the video goes to the cops in 48hrs.....rego starts, UP*-***

Sled you did note that was a chick right :whistling:

i agree potential sus but nothing id say is concrete, how many people have references to drifting and even say they drift but dont.

Catch can might have the radiator overflow or washer bottle combined with it. Most normally do, making them huge.

Nah, it isn't one of the all in one units. It's pretty much a big cylinder...about the same size as a 1.5l coke bottle, made out of metal with a K&N Filter on the top.

Definatly feel sorry for dori garu.

Driving through blackwood/aberfoyle/flaggy/to aldgate last night, the roads were fairly slippery.

Just shows that you can show respect for the police, but in the end, if he wants to fill his or her quota, you might as well bend over and take it like belladonna.

LOL, no I didn't ;)

OK, may have to give her the benefit of the doubt

young fella driving, complete with Domokun sticker, proclaiming NA is best! lol

this thing was so clean, i could have brushed my long ranga pubes on the fuel tanks reflection,

the inside of the wheel arches where spotless, and dont get me started on the sound of the engine.

was it white and did it have a cage ?

if its a skid car and you aint gonna rego it then why waste money fixing the door/window when you will smash it anyways??

no point spending 1-2k when there is a 99% chance you will smash em first drift prac?

need to pull the side out a little bit , just gonna use a sledge hammer and the assortment of heavy tools

wasnt implying getting it as straight as a pin...

    • 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.
