Spotted a VERY schmick looking R32 in deep deep blue/purple of some kind on my street this morning. Never seen the car before, someone must be visiting, or maybe a new purchase?? (hope not, wasn't even parked off the street!) Anyway, some nice scenery to start the day :ermm:

God, we're common as muck these days!!: While getting a lift with dad, waiting at some lights behind a blue R32 GTR, a black 4 door R34 being driven by a middle-aged woman pulled into the intersection going the other day, then we followed the R32 to our next intersection, and there was a silver R33 with a black bonnet and GTR wing waiting at the lights, which then passed us as I got dropped off.

Hey wait.. R32, R34, R33... BINGO!!!! :w00t:

Followed a silver R32 out of Queanbeyan last night, think it had decals up the side (Mick?).

Yeah that was me, I saw you too... I was kinda waiting for you to accelerate up on my right so I could say g'day but you stayed behind me th whole way.

P.S. Your driving lights are really bright, you might need to adjust them down a little (or it could have just been cos my car is very low) :w00t:

silver 33 (think it was a gtr, ambulance was blocking the view) on roundabout near fyshwick markets and silver 34 with no wing at the lights near the markets around 3:30pm

2 maroon 33s at the mawson shops area around 4:30pm

there was more but i cant remember details. Did see a pretty TA22 celica but that belongs on another forum :D

oh yah forgot, last wed / thur night at around 9:-10PM had a silver BNR32 with stock wheels (i think) over take me near Oaks Estate power station. Was just after going over the newer (of the two) bridge.

I was whipping through there in a white Corolla, and when it came up, i thought it was a cop so slowed down. Made a chill go up my spine, seeing it in the rear view then over taking.

Nah, you were doing the speed limit, i had no reason to get past you. The decals up the side really suit your car by the way.

I'll take a look at the lights, pretty sure they're ok though but then i'm always the one driving it!

Thanks, I always wanted (since I was about 13) to have an R32 with Nismo 400R style stripes... And now I do. ;)

I think your lights are ok, my car is just much lower than "normal" traffic so its probably just the angle that I was on.

don't worry about your lights, it was probably the reflection from one of the frangipanis on his car :)

You'll take any chance you can get to mention the bloody Franjipani's!!! :D Youre a mean woman...

    • 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.
