Hey all,

SAU-NSW are working with Top Secret Imports to bring you our next Tech night. The theme: Buying a car - the buyers' guide.

The night will be very laid-back - we'll have a BBQ going and some drinks (both at a small fee), catch up with old friendly faces, meet some new ones (and finally put faces to user-names), wander around the workshop/showroom, and hopefully learn some stuff in the process! Top Secret Imports have a wide selection of cars in their showrooms, ranging from Nissan Cubes to exotics like Lamborghini Gallardos and Maserati 4200GTs.

As often happens at these tech nights, there'll be some prizes handed out to a lucky few! (Details to follow.)

The details are as below:

Where: Top Secret Imports - 36 Forge Street, Blacktown

Food and drinks: A BBQ and drinks will be available for a small fee on the night

Who can come along: All are welcome - whether you're a club member or not, come along! All that we ask is that you let us know in this thread if you'd like to come along, so we can cater for numbers with food and drinks for the night. (If you'd like to join SAU-NSW as an official member, we'll have some forms ready for you to fill in, too.)

As this is an SAU-NSW official event, we will be covered under a CAMS permit.

Of course, as SAU-NSW actively promotes good behaviour, there will be NO tolerance for burnouts, loud music, cars racing or speeding, and/or anything else which will bring disrepute to the Club, either outside the venue itself or in the surrounding areas.

* Terry (Terry_GT-R34) + 4 guests

Damn can't make this one - MY engagement party that night! Better choose the woman over the car on this occasion...

Looks like a great event though, very fond of the guys at TSI who imported my GTR.

Oh man and I would save so much cash to spend on mods it would be awesome! I'll get you to tell her Luke ok??

You have to register?? I thought you just said in thisthread if you were coming??

I think its due to limited room in the warehouse and to cater for food and drinks as it will be going for a few hours

Well there's already 60 of a possible 40 people going :(

So Devo hah was keen to check out some cubes :D

I should be seeing the guys from TSI tomorrow (i.e. Easter Monday), so I will confirm.

Terry, I'll add you +4. :D

    • 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.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
