The washer bottle wont really fit in front of the fuse box, the 3" cooler pipe is decieving in that photo lol, the washer bottle used to be zip tied there and I couldnt really mount it there properly. I was going to mount it under the front and have the washer cap sitting at one of the cooler pipe holes, but it was a bit to hard to do. Does the job where it is, until it melts through from all that heat lol

Yeah, Ive been thinking about spraying the coolant bottle black and just leaving a strip so you can see the level, but havent been bothered yet. Because It's a daily its not easy to justify taking it off the road for little things like that. Think I do have another power steering Reserviour that I might be able to do something with. Ideally I'd like an aftermarket one if I could find one

looks nice and clean.

That intercooler looks like its not finished, or something doesnt quite look right about it, but it looks good custom fit in there

That is my oil cooler.

Here is a pic of the intercooler.

I bought the oil cooler from ARE coolers in Queensland for $350.00 and used a plastic air diverter panel that was broken and used it as a template for a a mate to bend up some aluminium to shape without bonnet lock holes (because racecar) then welded the cooler to the new air diverter plate and mounted the oil filter to the underside of the air diverter for easy oil filter access and cooling.

No only stage 1 with - 9 Turbo. Blown the stock Turbo and screwed one of the cylinder.

Ah ok, so hence the engine build, haha!

How do you find the setup?

I have a Stage 1 with -7's and is nice for the street.

    • 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.
