My baby performed well, suspension setup and swaybars seemed really nice and planted :) The AD08R's were just amazing, I had no clue that cars could turn corners at that much speed and I still didn't even feel like I was pushing them at all :|

I'm having the same issue when logging in, every time gives me an error page after signing in..?

I think it's to do with the domain change recently. Change your bookmarks to www.sau.com.au instead of www.skylinesaustralia.com and it should fix it.

just for you HSV is putting the GTS supercharged motor in a maloo....

few tweeks and there you go

Whats the retail on one of those? *inb4 more than you can afford pal*

Need to finance it against my mortgage

Still don't quite understand some 34 GTR owners, buying a 90s car for 45k sometimes just doesn't compute.

I mean if you can afford it outright, sure do what ever the hell you want I guess.. otherwise just go the r33

I used to think this way, but when you consider what else is around for the same money and the quality of it (or lack thereof), they aren't a bad buy if you can forget how old it is. Think it's more a case of the other cars in the Skyline range being undervalued for what they are. You get a lot more car than $6k worth when you buy a 33 GTS-T for example. Mine is bulletproof, or has been anyway, at nearly 20 years old. Meanwhile, people with brand new Volkswagens that don't look any good, are slower and breaking in 6 months...

New cars suck so much ass that I'll prolly buy 90s and early 00s cars for the rest of my life

    • 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.
