am geting sick of people blaming abbott for the protest rights thing/issue.

now im not 100% certain (but am relatively familiar with how laws get passed etc), pretty sure that its not his or the parties "fault". if he is going to cop the flak, does that in turn allow him to be praised of what does get passed during his reign as PM? dont think so.

good video though

Worm clamps or T-Bolt clamps for intercooler piping?

Worm clamps distribute tension evenly across the circumference of the pipe, but chew out hoses and are less durable.

T-Bolt clamps distribute tension less evenly (area near bolt exerts less tension) but tend to be more kind to hoses, and are more durable.

What do you guys use/recommend?

Be me and drag three different cars beating them all. VE SS gives thumbs up out the window to say well done / respect. Passat R36 windows down window and yells out something about his coilpacks failing. S15 drives past on the flyby staring straight ahead with no acknowledgement. Stereotypes ftw

Really surprised by how quick that R36 was, even above 100. Only 220kw and 1600kg+, must have some short ass gearing and a trick gearbox. Big sleeper.

yeah and they're all driven by soccer dads as lease vehicles, hence why they're driven like they're stolen.

no one wants to drag the pulsar... except I'm super cautious about flooring it in intersections... you just never know what's lurking

raced a charged monaro down my work street the other day like wide factory lanes we were doing a fair speed lol

was like 730am, dat wakeup call.

Birds we must do a run on our private road before I throw in modz. I'll try to fulfil the jdm stereotype :P.

In other news also VicPol now have cameras that can catch you on your phone from 700m away? 4 points, $4xx fine? But I think this is extended to "distracted driving" I.e. make up and food?

Not shur.

    • 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.
