Hey matey... i think the R34 was me - i work around that area, and would have been driving there this morning at around 8:30am or there abouts? it's an R34 GTR V-Spec II - Bayside Blue..

What were you driving? I'll look out for you next time and make sure to wave a hello!

Nice. Was in my brothers teg :rant: But soon back in a silver R33. No real defining marks... 18' Rohs are about it, not even side skirts! haha

Was overtaken by a black 33 today, GTR front bar and wing and DARK tinted windows. Looked nice, but those windows were so heavily tinted i couldnt tell if the driver was waving or not. If you're on here, i'm jealous of that tint...

maroun 33 driving down lathlain street in belco at about 10 past 1 this afternoon. i think it had a wastegate cos it fluttered... im jelous of the flutter >_<

also saw a black 33 near immigration in belco

LOL, just so that you know for future reference, all turbo charged Skylines have wastegates, I think you mean that it sounded as though it had an external wastegate.

The flutter that you heard doesnt come from the wastegate either, its called inlet reversion and it is the unused gas in the inlet being forced back through the turbo and out through a pod filter when the throttle closes, this is usually caused by an aftermarket blow off valve being adjusted to tight and not allowing enough gas to escape before it returns to the turbo.

It may sound cool but its not really that good for the turbo, especially if it is a stock one.

Now you know :(

well i learnt something today... i always thought it was an external wastegate that fluttered and did a better job then a blow off valve.

also i saw a black R33 4 door at the newsagence on townsville street in fyshwick between 1 and 1:30 this arvo.

That was me but unfortunately its only a gts-t :D . Didn't see your mate in the BMW, I was in a rush to the servo because I had just found a screw in my tyre, and needed to check if it was losing pressure.

Spotted a myriad of skylines in the nations capital over the weekend, most memourable being a Bayside blue R34 GTR in Westfield Belconnen. I didn't get time to catch up on friday night, and i was in the missus' corolla anyway.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
