Wow.. you guys are so narrow minded. "I don't like sexspec, its shit". Ever heard of tolerance. They go for comfort over performance, so what! Personally i wouldn't do it to my car but I can certainly appreciate the work that has gone into it. As someone has already stated "We are all modifiers".

If we want to keep the car scene in Canberra alive we really need to include everyone. Otherwise there wouldnt be enough people to support events like this. If people keep talking like they are in this thread then others will feel excluded and not welcome (as I have felt in the past) so they wont come, and the events will die off. Its not even an SAU event anyway.

I would also like to point out that JDM means "Japanese Domestic Market" ie any japanese car.. not just drift/tuner. My dads Tarago is JDM for gods sake

*Like*

Agree with all of the above! It comes down to personal preference and like I said, I don't mind it.. I like to see how creative people can get with their cars in ALL different ways, it's just good to see people into the modified scene (no matter what types of mods they are)

Only a couple of days away, do we have any indication on numbers, and would all that are coming like to be parked together?

Dyno will be running form 9am, and will run throughout the day, it stopped at about 5pm last year.

We hope everyone that comes along has good day, because the day was desined to be alot of fun no matter what your taste are.

everyones defenition of JDM is different, in the long and the short it is a Japanesse car show. hope to see you all there, you might catch a glimpse of our own skyline project car

From the thread, I estimated this list:

Attending

DriftGTS

Shell

Verms?

Melly (so does this mean Zane as well, then Reece might come)

Maybe

MAG86 (after 12)

whytry (after 12)

Zebra (try and make it down)

Seems like there was more discussion QSR than anything else (those guys must be popular). I can send a email to Ultimate Tunes with numbers later today.

Zane won't be there. Reece is racing at wakefield. Nerm may possibly come for a bit? I will only be there for a bit in the morning (Aiming to awake in time)... Than need to drive to Syd for Texi on Sunday woooot!

JDM Fest is now only 2 sleeps away, and despite the threat of rain it is looking good, quite a number of cars are looking to be around for the day, and some rumors of the dyno having hold down some high powered cars, things are looking great.

The dyno will be running from 9:00am. drinks and food will be availiable on the day, with the BBQ cracking form the early hours.

Despite the difference in tastes, we will strive to make it a great day for all. Hope to see you all on saturday.

Im so keen to go and have a look around as im new and check out how people have modified their cars and get more ideas, but after reading all this that’s up here. Im going to hide my car in my garage because people will be laughing at me if I’ll bring my car out that day.

Yeah you are right.

Thank you for giving me the courage and the strength.

    • 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.
