Thank you guys for your support, I had organised a Track day for Gerards Birthday on the 20th of May.

This is still going ahead as a tribute to both Tom and Gerard, they were amazing guys and no words can express how much they are loved and will be missed.

It is a speed off the streets day, so if you were friends with either of the boys or wish to pay your respects, you are more than welcome to attend.

I will pass on all your kind words to the families involved.

It is a sad day indeed, but any words of support are comforting.

That's a gutsy post of yours Alex. You take care now on the 20th.

If the two families would appreciate a book each that I wrote called,

"GOOD GRIEF - BAD TIME" '3 Ways Of Coping With Loss' ...

PM me with your address, and I'll send them to you for free.

Otherwise these published books are distributed by...

www.bushchurchaid.com.au

One of the poems inside my book is this... It's written anonymously by a woman who lost 2 sons I'm led to believe...

"I'm Spending Christmas With Jesus Christ This Year"

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below

With tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away that tear

For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear

But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring

For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me: I see the pain inside your heart

But I am not so far away; we really aren't apart.

I cannot tell you of the splendour or the peace inside this place.

Can you imagine Christmas with our Saviour, face to face?

I will ask Him to light your spirit as I tell Him of your love

So then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.

So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear

And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.

I sent you each a memory of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold:

It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do

For I can't count the blessing or love He has for each of you.

So have a 'Merry Christmas' and wipe away that tear.

Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

God Bless you Alex...

I had med them both on a few occasions and have had some great chats.

Gerard always offered advice since I met him at my very first event last August..

It is a very sad day for us all..

Again Rest in Peace friends, Texi will always bring back some strong memories of a friend taken too soon.

Thank you for all the good times,

You will live on always in our hearts.

David

I only met Gerard and Tom at the last Texi event in Jan, but both were some of the friendliest guys I've ever metmet. Happy to offer a kind word, encouragement, and mateship. Though I didn't know them anywhere near as well as a lot of people on this forum, I can still say that I'll miss them... And that all of us will always remember them.

    • 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.
