here ya go phag, some quick clips from the first run, me following ur mate then me following you, go pro hero 2 actually pretty decent quality

makes your arms look really long

Brings me to this

And makes me scared for you, birds, and the other dude when you overtake all the cars around corners like that. I dunno if it's the go pro, but fk I'd be too scared

hah yeah good thing I cut out my overtake on that black commodore then :P if anything I reckon the go pro takes away from the speed

I dunno, adrenaline sometimes gets the better of you one thing to consider also is just how quick the bikes pick up speed from a 80km/h roll little twist of the wrist and you're past the car already

Yeh and I also realized that the lower the camera is to the floor, the more realistic the speed looks..

Yeh I don't know I would love to get my license but I think confidence will get the best of me and I'll end up killing myself

At least get your license, see how you find it that way you've got it.

Risk also depends when / where you ride I reckon, peak hour to work a few times I've done and is way more dangerous, heaps of cars out.

That being said the other day I almost got cleaned up, I'll see if I had gopro on, remember when I was raging at the car birds basically he overtook someone then they just turned into me thinking there was only one bike, actually doesn't even look bad on video :\ dam the gopro and it's wide lens!

Yeah definitely, Watching DECA and Sandown footage is so slow and boring compared to actually being in the car... Especially if the camera is mounted high on the car like the roof (or helmet in your case)

Showed my dad some DECA footage once and he was like "Oh, I thought you'd be going faster... " /dadburn :(

    • 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.
