Oh they'd hold up alright with his driving style....you really have to keep that thing above 6-7k for a while and around long corners and shit to start starving the bearings. Oh, and a dyno at a certain workshop that will not be mentioned will also do it :D

Just run an extra L of oil for track days ;)

Blanchview is free, Nick :P

Non-members still pay a fair bit. I'm not poor but I have reasons to be saving as much as I can at this point in time so I'll have to pass on Happy Laps until things settle down a little on my end.

Moreover, am looking forward to catching up with everybody and any new members that show up :)

BTW, why does everybody think Chris drives his car slow? My reputation is unmatched 'round these parts.

Yeh they do cost a fair bit these days! It's more for the social side of things than anything...kinda forgot that they put it up by like $20 =/ Used to be $30 for non-members grrr

Yeh well I'm an unemployed bum too haha...but I reckon I might end up going yet.

Haha, well, you reckon I drive slow....you should see Chris. I almost stall out when driving off at the lights behind him ;) jk

What's with all the picking on me as to how I drive my car? I drive my car with the respect it deserves. I on the odd occasion give the old girl a squirt and maybe take the revs past 4k. I know I baby the car but if any of you owned it would yous drive it any differently to the way I do?

Anyone is welcome with any car. Except Nick and the General lee ;)

Although hell be there come hell or high water. :/

I wasn't giving you sh1t? I'd do the exact same. It's quite refreshing to see one being preserved. :)

    • 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.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
