Been patiently waiting for you to organize another run but I can't make it now.

Old girl is out with a busted turbo/manifold gasket. Sounds like I got a screamer on boost :D

Shit no good bro, what's the plans now then Just fix it and get it back on the road? :(

This weather has made it hard to do a run. Water is over the road in places on our usual haunts. Dude that sucks, lucky it's only a gasket and not something worse

gah. happened to me a couple months ago as well, but mine sounded more like a grain truck than a screamer :'(

Yer water on the way down blanchview isn't going to end well for us rwd dwellers lol. Worse ones are the little streams that always seem to run across the road on the apex of the turn, scary stuff.

More details on said car?

Will have my Gtr on the rd with everyone in a few weeks hopefully basically bought it got ripped off but stuck with it I gutted the interior got new carpet just waiting for my seats from being reupholstered the wiring was rooted basically learned to fix it all myself just little bits and peices left and will be ready to drive. Its a white 32 Gtr with the plates GZill4... Hope no one thinks the plates are shit lol only ones that weren't taken which were the best I could think of haha

Yeah can't wait. It was rough when I got it but ive fixed it up as I can when I can. Can't wait to bring it out

Hey man :)

Keen to see your car man, hopefully we'll have a cruise/lunch organised once the weather clears up :)

Will be good to see another white 32 GTR getting around. Also good to see that you have stuck with it, when these cars are running properly they are a ton of fun, when broken not so much.

Welcome dude and hopefully you can get along to one of our runs when this weather clears up

Go for a cruise meet some new people let everyone know when she's ready

Do you get many from toowoomba going on day cruises etc? When are they usually

The regular cruises consist of (the regulars) Chris, Tom, Nick, Myself and Clinton + about 2 or so that turn up once and never come back lol

And we'll usually do them on a Saturday, or a Sunday if Mondays a public holiday

    • 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.
