I'm a maybe (+1) at this stage. Been away for over a month and get back on Friday, so I expect the family will want some of my time.

No better way to spend the time the family than going for a long drive

I have to drive to Coffs Harbour and back again on this weekend. Approx 1000km round trip. I think I will leave the Stagea at home and take the Kluger and whack a dvd on to keep the kids quite :)

oh by the way, will the 2nd oldest hoon on Stagea site meet the oldest on this cruise? ;)

I TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT IS MAYBE QUITE UNIQUE.

I may be the oldest Stagea owner, but my son, 17yo, will be there and I think he is possibly the youngest. And AFAIK

he has the only 25G in Qld and maybe the whole of Oz. :D:blink::blush::wub::geek::bunny::3some:

Preliminary planned trip

Meet at Coomera BP around 10.30am, leave at 11.00am travel south to Nerang, west along Beaudesert rd to Cunungra, north up Tamborine to a venue on top of the mountain for a sit down lunch and get to know. Maybe the Tambo Brewery. This is at the end of gallery walk, so if the partners (girls) get bored talking about cars and go for a walk :P

Need a show of hands to work out numbers for lunch booking

Once the trip and venue is final I will get mods to edit first post

Me - 2+2

Micah - 2

Greenghost - 2

No plans after the brewery. People will probably leave at any time once they have had enough.

Plenty of nice B & B's up there at this time of year.

Anyone interested is more than welcome back at my place (Mudgeeraba) after the cruise for drinks/socialising: just give me an idea of who's interested: it's about a half hour to 40 min drive from the top of the mountain. If needs be, I have a spare room for anyone wanting to spend the night on the Gold Coast...

    • 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.
