i dont think ill ever get another 200sx lol unless i got into the whole drifing scene..

i dont know how to drift, and wasn't going to try..

theoretically i was building the car for the wrong thing. shouldve bought the evo back when i bought the 200.. the amount ive put into this, if I had put it into an evo.. I wouldve had a good evo.

:laugh:

Sorry man but it's true! Serious! I think about my GTR all the time but i know I will have another, so i just focus on that (well, try to)

I know the feeling :( 3 GTR's and I still want more, I do have problems...

I'm sorry Aaron but I gotta agree, as much as I love my new car the feeling of the GTR through the corners sliding around Winton.. wowee!

That being said I'm still glad I got my car beats it for a daily by far, just wish I could have both! FPV mon-fri and GTR for weekends! :P

Depends are you wanting a more daily friendly car?

I remember in late 06' I was stoked to get a skyline, it was auto and n/a but I couldn't believe I had one.. cost me 8.5k for a 93'!

Quite interesting to see this on Herald Sun website. This is the new strategy:

"Under laws passed in Parliament this month drivers will fork out about $500 to attend shame school if they are caught driving more than 45km/h over the limit, doing burnouts or drag racing."

Maybe it's a gtr thing (here's to hoping) that you guys miss. All though mine is much lighter I'm hoping there's not much else too miss. One thing I will miss though is that horn. Fk yeah.

Still, I'm counting the chickens before they hatch - I still have to sell it.

One thing I dont miss is the cop attention.

Touch wood I never had any - but I still have that sick feeling of "what if I get pulled over - and defected"

I want to get into something Im not so scared to drive

The horn? Really? :rofl:

But yeah maybe it is a GT-R thing, it's the feeling of having your guts thrown back on a solid hookup with the 4WD launch that really gets me

shameless kents, those housemates of mine..

32 cans of coke finished in 3 weeks, how does that shit happen? i've had 4 cans out of that 32. I'll be cracking the shits tonight.

nobody's touching boost bars anymore though LOL

Yeh the horn. It's a 2 tone air horn. 140db measured 5 meters away. Fkn things made me deaf a few times..

See I want traction man, I don't have it until (sometimes) third and fourth, by then I'm going to fast to even use it on the street, let alone be able to put the first few gears down on a track

Put your share of coke cans in your room brah so it doesn't happen again.

Or just become a soup nazi and say 'No Wagyu for you!'

    • 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.
