Seeing as a group of us are heading down to hobart on the 31st fro Koolism, i think it would be appropriate to maybe meet up, or go for a small cruise. i have discussed this with a few guys off NS.com and they are keen as mustard to do it.

cruise wouldn't be huge long ass thing cos i know all you guys like to fill up at certain places (don't blame you).

Never know i might even have my car running by then and registered etc

let me know your interest so i can try make arrangements

Its also the date of "International seventh skyline day" ie R31 7th gen skyline - 07/31

Not sure but there is something being organised for that through the R31 club guys but the msgboard there has been hard to get onto lately.

yeh fair point. I reckon CSIRO would be good coz most of their employees only work mon-fri so the car park should be close to empty. That car park isnt that big, but i reckon it will do the job and its only bout 3 mins to the centre of the city. New Town Plaza has the room, but there will be heaps of other people there as all those shops are open 7 days. Its up to you guys really, i dont mind.

The car park does have a little gutter section, but its dead flat. Shouldnt be a problem, but ill go down there tomorrow in my 180 and have a good look. My 180 is pretty low and Chris Button's old 180 (red 94 model with kit and wing), which some of the Platinum boys will know, now driven by a guy i know fitted easily in there last week. Ill get back to you on the driveway situation tho.

Also what time do you guys reckon you'll make it down to Hobart? You thinking like midday or more like late arvo (4-5pm)?

I was thinking maybe the uni car park the one just of church hill ave (sandy bay). on saturday there is normally no one there and it is fairly easy to get in and out of.

Yeah the uni car park is pretty empty on a sat, shouldnt see any probs for low cars driving in or out.

Righto sounds good PHaT MR30. Ill let all the boys down here in Hobart know that the cruise is a definate now. Just gotta get some definate's from more people down here now.

Ill let people know that we will meet at around 3pm at the Commerce Car Park at Uni of Tas. Obviously give or take about 30 mins to give you guys plenty of time to get down here.

What do you all think of a cruise out to Richmond via Grasstree Hill (windy road, touge style)and then all meetup again at the car park just over the old historic bridge near the picnic area? Should be enough spaces to accommodate everyone.

Yeah forgot about the road from Richmond to Sorell. Make sure you come up to the Commerce car park, not the main car park. You probably know that, just making sure thats all.

I guess we could all meet up again at Sorell Woolies car park, should be enough spaces at the back of the car park near Woolies Petrol Plus.

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      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!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
