so are we just picking on 35's or can we blame the mazda 3's also

I followed a 3 up Henry Robert today and it went quite well. Apart from that I am a bit confused.

But is that normal??

+1 for the 1000 pages ;) maybe we should all start a class action against the government (ah la vodafone) for never teaching ppl to drive in the first place. we could all claim to have PTSD from driving on the rd with them. but seriously, these threads can be a good for venting frustration, but careful you dont get it closed. my gripe goes to all the van and SUV drivers out there!! get the F#%K out of the right lane when our not overtaking!!

Why limit it to van and soft-roaders?

ANYONE doing either the speed limit or under should get the f**k out of the right lane.

If you are overtaking, please do not do so by travelling 1 or 2kph "faster" than those in the left lane, just get the hell around them and get outta the way FFS!

+1 ^^ for hughesy looses it!

but not only the right lane, when theres a free lane, and your about to turn onto it to speed up abit, then someone decides to go in that lane and just cruise 10k's under the limit!

Why the hell do they need to go into that lane, when they we're going just as slow/fast as the one they were in which wasnt free.

I call them "Community Police",:rant:

They spend their lives getting everyone's way, so that nobody does things that they don't think should be happening; ie, Speeding, drinking, people having fun, etc

I followed a woman in a Landcruiser for 15km last week, who sat, pacing along in the right hand lane, next to the right hand rear wheels of a Semi trailer ; too scared to go past I imagine, but plainly too stupid to realise she's sitting in the most dangerous position possible.

Eventually, the truck driver virtually ran over the front of her car changing lanes to allow the traffic to pass by in the left hand lane. All the while she was trying to cut back into the left lane to block the traffic again.

Didn't want to go past, just didn't want anyone else to...

That part of my trip took easily 15 mins longer than normal because of this brain donor...

    • 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.
