I'm cruising into brisy tonight after work and am staying at a mates just south of slacks creek. If a group of skylines are gonna hook up before the cruise-for-cure then I'd love to add an r32 to the group. My moby is 0419 170 574.

Cheers,

Blake

choas, got your pm - I'll let you know later tonight (in a couple of hours, when my mate arrives), but it's looking good at this stage, woohoo :thumbsup:

Zoix, not having much luck eh? I know a really good mobile auto electrician on the Northside if you're interested.

revhead, its the blower fan and I know that, but its a **** to rip the dash apart to get in there. its either a small motor, a fuse or the fan is ****ed. Then again a cable could have come undone. The air cond works and doesnt need regasesing, its just the fan thats stopped.

Does this "Guy" u know, worked on skylines in the past?

What time will I be able to get them to look at my car?

does he have a shop or just mobile?

I got my door fixed and my timer :thumbsup: so at least I can have the windows down again.

Zoix - his name's Chris Rogers, he posts on here from time to time and is a regular on Performance Forums. He runs a mobile business called "Sound Off Mobile Installations", and he's based at Wavell Heights. He's done plenty of work on my R33 and a mate's R32, has no doubt done plenty of other guys' cars that I don't know, and used to work at Strathfield before branching out on his own, so yes, he's done BUCKETLOADS of Skylines, along with Porkas and other exotica :thumbsup: He's on 0407 102 839 - tell him I (Marc) sent you and he'll look after you. Dunno what his schedule's like, call him and see if he can squeeze you in. I've gotta speak to him sometime over the weekend anyway to help organise his wedding, I'll mention it to him then.

chaos - shit I hadn't realised it was tomorrow either. Ah well, should still be there :D PM me your mobile number or and/or address and I'll contact you tomorrow.

Note though - I unfortunately have things to do in the afternoon, so I'll be going as far as Somerset and then heading back, ie won't be doing the Kilcoy/Samford etc leg.

haha wonder how many people didnt realise it was tomorrow.

i'll pm you my number but i think im goin with zoix not sure yet cause hes just gone out cruising but if your not planning on goin to bed soon i'll sms u later tonight or tomorrow morning before the time we meant to meet whatever time that is.

paddington so thats like west/south lol inner west it is

im confuzzled bout tomorrow now cause i thought zoix was talking bout this cruise tomorrow but it seems hes on about a sunday one. but yeh im going with who ever can pick me up and drop me off :thumbsup: cause my line is still a few months off now

Only two of us ended up going - myself (duh) and blakey. Mud also made an appearance at Harry's, so he's excused too. So the whole time there were two cars flying the SAU flag amid a sea of Commodores. One of the guys wearing an LS1 shirt came over and said to Chaos (who was in my passenger seat) 'most of the Commodores have spare seats, so if you want a ride in a V8 instead of a ricer for a change, just ask em'. The cheeky bastard, lol :D

I did get one good comment going up the mountain though, from a guy in an SS - 'Geez mate, I just couldn't keep up with you back there!'. Chaos can no doubt bear witness to how 'hard' I was trying... looks like 250+kW just isn't enough to help nearly two tonnes of metal up the hill and around the corners :) But seriously the Commies did pretty well considering that most looked nearly stock, and there were some very nice examples.

The only pics I have are of someone who went for a steep downhill excursion - and I won't be posting those unless I get the owner's OK. Blakey's passengers got a few good shots of the rest of the day I think, maybe wait until he gets on here and see what shows up. Either that, or look on the LS1 forums.

All in all it was quite a good day, the Leukemia Foundation reps no doubt raised more than a few dollars in the process, and there was a bit of friendly ribbing between us and the Holden guys to keep things interesting... and, as you can probably tell, I'm still in the mood :D

good to haer, i jsut went and got cough syrup and some pills the lady said i should take soon, so as soon as I paid i drink from the bottle and took two tablets, she looked so amazed :D

I said "Hmm Much better, thanks!" and walked out to everyone giving me strange looks. Was going to buy a washing machine but I think tyres are needed before that.

Anyone know a great set of tyres for 18"? I'm looking towards hard compound as they last longer and dont smoke up :)

    • 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.
