Mebbe if u had tractor suspension Hamish u could have run lower than a 12.9! On that topic my front shocks are dead so will get coilovers soon.

Pat you looked like you were cruising down the quarter not racing lol

had issues with axle tramp and spinning in 2nd gear. Should be better next time.

Where was your fanta 33? Busy posing next to it? :(

c-c-c-commmboo breaker.

Shan u missed out on some goooooooooood duck.

and so did you Basti. shame shame.

FFFUUU. had to do an airport run mangs.

btw... does your mate still want those rims? i lost his number.

dunno, they have just copied the cube but given it a less interesting front end.

Agreed. The Rukus is a tremendously boring looking car, no character and overpriced.

try running with a peice of wood 3 meters by 3 meters into the wind

then drive a cube

u will be comftable with the car already

The Cube has a better drag coefficient than an R32 GT-R, a new WRX, BMW M3, Dodge Viper, MX-5...shall I keep going? :(

nope, it was a cardboard cube. more specifically it was a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex. The cube can also be called a regular hexahedron and is one of the five Platonic solids. It is a special kind of square prism, of rectangular parallelepiped and of trigonal trapezohedron.

lol what are you doing down this way!?

you wasteland whore you

*snap on me then!

acceleration > drag coefficient

fly swatters have better drag coeffient than sledgehammers. guess what hurts more when it lands on your face?

also, no one fucks with someone running around with a sledgehammer.

maybe, i dunno. i'm bad with faces and names. esp curries. they all look the same.

Just an FYI for everyone - Do NOT go to Amberley Wheel Alignments. They told me I had a bent strut and wheel hub then charged me a ridiculous amount.

I got 2 real mechanics to go over my car with me today. I have a slightly bent tie rod. That's it.

Fkn relieved now :P At least I know my car won't fall to bits.

    • 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.
