just spotted a Festiva(?) which had made a massive mess of the steel barriers at the roundabout on Sulwood Drive where you come over the hill on Athllon Dr.

This is the 3rd seperate accident I've seen there at this time of night on my way home from work... wtf are people doing on that corner?? :banana:

spotted a pic of Marks car over his desk when i was working on sat, left a note, hows the new lights?

Ahahah, good work. I had no idea that note was even there until I read that ;)

The lights work a treat, they're perfect for bouncing rubber bands off and hitting the head of the person sitting on the other side of the partition :wave:

In other news, spotted MIVEC (y0) in Tuggeranong next to the Southern Cross basketball stadium.

Yesterday arv', spotted a gunmetal grey 32 GT-R parked in a driveway "somewhere" near the 'big' lake in Jerra' - a new owner, perhaps?

This morn', I was fortunate enough to be flanked by a 34 4 door( FoX; maybe a immediate relative of yours? I think that was you in the front pass' seat...), a dark 33 GTS-T with a JDM-angled 'zorst and a lowered white S14 with black rimes...Nissan happiness! Ah, I've missed you lot!

Spotted 3 R34s on the way to work this morning, one white with a nismo sticker un the right hand tail light (I think the owner is on here), one red and one black. Also drove behind another black R34 in civic on the way home from work.

Here's a bit of entertainment for y'all

On the way to work this morning on Adelaide Avenue I witnessed a chap in an R32 GT-R get (sort of but not really) chased down by a uniformed cop in an older VX Commodore SS. Very surprised, I thought he was picking for a run until I caught up and saw the uniform. Dunno if it was the guy's personal car, he didn't have any blue and red lights, he used his indicators to flag down the Skyline.

Presumably because the guy in the GT-R hopped onto the T2 lane and gave it a bit of a hit for a couple of hundred metres until he ran out of room, so the cop went after him.

The GT-R was white with very hard suspension, I think black standard wheels, this small vertical lip spoiler and a big front bar. Anyone we know?

P.S. - unimpressed by the Commodore - blew a f**k load of weed on the kickdown gearchange and didn't really go much faster ;)

Wow, where have you been Jayce????

Yeah, I have been a bit quiet, huh? Sorry 'bout that crew; it's been a very lean year for me. Will be rectifying the friendship side of Skyline ownership thing shortly. Due to the bank owning a LARGE chunk of both my soul and my ar*e, the GT-R will be a lot further away from getting spotte... : (

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
