Hey guys,

I am hoping to sign up this week, first timer... just picking up my car this week (only just getting back into an import after years out of the scene).

What is the age restriction for passengers?, I noticed there is a Entrant under 18 years parent/guardian approval, but wanted to double check as my 15yr old brother is keen to come along and be a passenger if he can. I am assuming I just need to fill out the Entrant form again for him with me listed as the Driver?

Also, I will sign up for SAU membership and CAMS license on the day with pre-filled forms if that's suitable?

Will ensure fire extinguisher is in the car this weekend and buy a helmet for us both ASAP.

Thanks guys, looking forward to coming along!

Age limit is 14 and yes you're right, forms have to be signed by guardian/parent etc and of course proper clothes and helmet need to be worn. Both he and yourself will fill out separate forms for him being a passenger. Only drivers fill out the one you can download right now, the passenger ones are only available on the day. Please dont list him on your drivers entry form, instead leave an extra 5 mins at sign on to fill out the form for him and sign it.

Yes signing up for club and for L2S is fine on the day too, all in all you'll need 10 mins at sign on for all that so please come with enough time spare.

Can recommend the "Sydney Motorcycle shop" (locations around Sydney, google it) for helmets. Not too expensive for the plain black open faced versions.

Any other questions just ask!

Locker is no problems.

Being auto is fine too - manual isn't a requirement.

As long as it meets the requirements of having an effective muffler (eg would pass rego) and not a wastegate venting to atmosphere then you're fine.

Please write on your forms that you're multi entering a car, it makes our lives a bit easier

Sweet thanks for that...... yer we both on our ps so it use to be a daily so its non turbo auto at the moment haha so she far from loud or special but we all have to start somewhere.... thanks mate

Thanks a million, just one more, with the passengers form, if it needs to be completed on the day am I able to complete/sign it as his "guardian" (for the day), seems a little hard to make our folks trek to sign the paperwork, if they *must* sign it, any chance of getting it before the day?

Hope to meet and greet a few folks there... even if I am not ready in time, think I will still show up to check it out.

Will check out Sydney Motorcycle shop and my local Motorcycle shop also, I have been looking at the eBay store recommend in the "So You've Never Done Texi Before?" thread. (Was looking at http://www.ebay.com....tm/260690153814 or http://www.ebay.com....tm/230361173743 depending on whether or not open face suits me better, but will drop by the local shops first to get a feel).

All good mate, it'll give you a new appreciation for your car and teach you to be a bit better driver (more in control). Keep in mind this stuff is purely for the track though! :)

I'm not sure as a brother signing for guardian, insurance can be picky like that. Send me your email address and I'll get the form sent in advance.

Go and try on open face and full face, you'll know pretty quickly which is the right one for you. The regulars at Texi for the most part use open face FYI, but go with what feels right to 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.
