I've never had a steak go cold on me, apart from the 1kg challenge I did...

What if you're no good at cooking steak...?

And if you go to a good steak restaurant /good restaurant in general, your steak will be juicy

Well true it doesn't go cold, but a normal steak doesn't stay anywhere as hot as stone grill. It's like that first awesome bite of steak, but over and over again. Old man travels across town just for it haha

Ain't really cooking it yourself anyway, cause it cooks quick enough that you're pretty much just cutting pieces from the block as they cook; it's hard to screw up unless you're a real slow eater, but can always pull steak off the stone I guess.

Haven't even taken delivery.... just signed contract.. should have it in a week.

it's not exactly a 300rwkw R33... but it is far more convenient for driving kids around which now make up some 99.27% of my driving

lol @ single mum.

is $160 fair price for A/C re-gas? (from scratch, not top-up)

bit tasty, but its summer so 30% increase.

check out cranbourne auto elec. ihe was a top bloke, charged me 180 for a service, few orings, labour for repair and gas on wrx.

Tony have you got the dyno read out from your 380rwkw with a 3" exhaust? Boss has told me in the past that it's almost impossible to see over 330kw with a 3" exhaust.

Yeah it was on Trents dyno, did a drop of the exhaust and no restriction

Its a jjr 3 inch dump and cat, then get slightly bigger to the muffler

Refitting for that new style refrigerant as well?

Y34 should already be R134a, even 33's are already. 32 etc need to be converted from R12 doe.

AC in the new RS is f**king awesome. Have receipts for regass done in 97 and then again in 2011. On the way back home from shitney had to keep turning it off cus it was too cold.

    • 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.
