Got my new tyres on today. Poor Chris from Inline was sick as a dog so I went in and gave him a hand finishing it off.

Pilot Super Sports much friendlier on the road than Pilot Sport Cups!

Wrap a rag around the bottle neck to roughly seal it in the radiator filler hole.

^^ This, or wrap electrical tape around the top of the bottle where the cap would go. Makes it nice and snug, and doesn't leak out. Which reminds me, I should probably bleed mine again.

YEAH!!! Awesome! Looks Great mate. :thumbsup:

Needs series 1 front bumper.

Why you have rear wheel off the 33?

If you want we can have a go at the 34s nuts and then do a wheel swap between the 2.

Both would look wicked. :D

Big silicone hose from Bunnings fits watertight in mine.

Nice 34 Dan, the front bar is a very modern style i think.

Vent for the intercooler, it must all be ducted, nice!

Put some primer on everything today, looks like a week of rain coming up.

More sanding to do........

Wheels were off the 33 because I took them to Sydney to put on the 34 originally and then accidentally left them in Sydney lol.

I might tackle the wheel nuts when I get back from NZ because I haven't sorted out my luggage or anything yet :S

Suspension also seems to be knocking fairly loud as if it was loose but I couldn't find the problem when I jacked it up

Wired in the rear speakers in the Skywagon, adjusted the rear wiper so it sits horizontal and removed a little check valve so now the rear window washer actually works.

Fixed the air in the cooling system this morning thanks guys. Just left it for 20 minutes and it seems great now.

Took it for a drive for the first time since installing the turbo. She's not very happy haha.. Doesn't want to make boost, and I don't really want to try and push it to test it... I thought this might be the case despite reading cases where people seem to be driving on high flows with the stock ecu. Off boost it feels fine. Do people think it would be ok to just granny it off boost till the tune? Otherwise I should be able to find another car to drive for the time being.

    • 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.
