RIP Jay. That's really sad. Sorry she couldn't beat the battle. I hope yourself and your family are fine.

Thanks for your thoughts. We are getting there slowly. I've been taking everyone out to get out the house and stop minds from dwelling. It's one of those things that will just take time.

Some pics from the past few days...

Nearly gave up on the 365 day project. Took this shot while feeling unmotivated and the family said it shows pretty much how they feel at the moment.

Took the kids out to see the 'pretty paintings' so got to get some nice pics of graff for the first time in the past couple of months.

Took this one today while checking up on one of the hotspots near my place. Nothing new there, but spotted this can on the way back to the car.

Yeah, condolences from me too, Jay. It's like you said, though: with a terminal (and often painful) illness, it's a mixed blessing between ending the pain and the ending of a life. :(

tags are those scribbles done mostly by toys with no talent, lol.

So true. Tags are hideous and looks like shit. Imo they ruin the look of the city, where as "pieces" have their spots and actually look awesome!

Just got back from a short holiday, will upload some shots then post them up here shortly :)

These were taken at Bremer Bay, on the south coast of WA, 2hrs east of Albany. My parents manage a caravan park there, so went down for Xmas and to recover from my wisdom teeth operation. Beautiful area, shame its so far away and they are leaving soon.

Merry christmas to all! I hope you had a fantastic christmas and the fat man gave you lots of love (of course if you give him love, he'll reward you with an elf).

Project 365 for the last week. You can even see the R33 i picked up as a drifter for $3500!

PS - If you haven't, get girltalks new album "All day". It's awesome! Thank me later.

    • 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.
