So Who's going?

I know Andrew and I will be there as usual... although i am still to arrange a 4 day pass >_<

Also won't be working as such this year so will have some more free time to catch up, although my mates are now spread around in different categories not all in the GT so will be running around like an idiot

any way there should be a GTR running around in the GT category (approx 30 cars so good turn out this year) make sure you support the Merc SLS's!

Yep, as mentioned I will be there ....

I put the 5 spare tickets we had on Gumtree (since David is in China for work, Chops & Nicky moved away, Bronwyn is due with her 3rd child on 10th March, and we had one spare) and they sold in a snap - I could have sold them 3 times over!

Weather is going to be perfect too - hopefully there is some rain Sat/Sun to make the racing interesting! And they have Coopers beer this year (instead of that camel piss XXXX).

This year is going to be good, but roll on next year with the Nissans I say!

Won't make Thursday at all since so much work has come up, but will be heading in Friday just after lunch with Tyler in-tow. Will be there Sat and Sun, but as we have found before it is pretty useless to get around or see the fashion show on Sat/Sun. We will definitely catch one Friday arvo .... and I like how you call it a fashion show, rather than what it really is - swimsuit soft porn :D :D :D

I had already sold all my tickets, but thanks Ben. I saw Luke there today with some of the SAU lads, so he found a ticket somewhere! I chucked the tickets on Gumtree (which I had never used before) ... had 3 buyers buy 4 tickets, (then 4 more calls after I had sold all the tickets), and only 2 people mildly jack me around, so pretty good result really.

    • 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.
