So how many of ya's are actually going to that happy laps?

I'm still undecided....will probs just pay on the day if I go.

Ill be there in the skevy, will be its last outing as a two speed until my he box gets pulled... Depending on Chris's enthusiasm (as I haven't even asked him yet) I may be rocking some new BC's ;)

Well he never comes to lakeside :P that is nice and dangerous.

I have done lakeside happylaps a few time. Even before they put the cones around the back of the track to slow you down

Righto fitting coilovers to the abomination on Friday night at my place at around 5. Come around if you giys want for beers and bullshit while I fit them. Might even do a feed as well

Goes without saying but, I'm in :)

Will be supplying coronas for Chris and as I believe dalton is driving a six pack for myself, give us a text if you want some snags or anything brought up

In case you boys haven't seen the post http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/423450-an-evening-with-jim-richards-and-fred-gibson-18th-july/

Get onto this. Will be a great night and a great opportunity to meet the mastermind behind the R32 coming to race in Australia, and one of the drivers of these great cars. This is a rare and awesome opportunity to meet both Jim Richards and Fred Gibson. Get on this guys. I have already got the 18th and 19th off work for this and hopefully you guys will make it down also

    • 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.
