We charge 7.7% as standard we negotiate where we have to very rarely do 5s so yeh I'd say it's a good rate we are expensive from what I hear but thy got good systems in place so guess people get service they don't mind

Nah, although it probably wouldn't be hard to get in contact with him.

I'm most likely working with Michael Paynter (the guy who did that collab with The Veronicas and wouldn't gtfo out of the charts for like 6 months last year). He's actually a ridiculously talented writer/producer.

I'd be recording in the same studio that he recorded his new EP in, which was released on the Sony label :thumbsup: So can't be too shabby.

Nice...just you with him or your band too?

What's the studio rent like?

I don't really have a band. I've always really been a solo writer and then collaborated with singers. i.e. My "band" in my sig is just my stuff with a different singer and bassist.

So yeah, it'd probably be just me and him. I'm not sure if I'll sing yet or not. Might have to hire another vocalist. I doubt Michael will offer to sing for me.

Studio rent isn't bad because the studio is in his house. I'm looking at $1500 per song to track with him. On top of that I have to hire a drummer and a drum studio, so probably $600ish a day for that. Then mastering costs after that.

    • 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.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
