From the start of the Hume it will only take 2 hrs to get there. And one thing that the guys that came on the Team Wang weekend can vouch is that we sit right on the speed limit all the way. Nothing more stupid than getting done for speeding on your way to a race track.

We'll see you at 7 then Matty!

Car is a no go... detonation is a prob when you out an NA head on an RB20 running a TD06.... :rofl: Life was never meant to be easy. i cant beleive i just spent all that money on labour and new gaskets etc etc only for a silly thing like being mistakingly being supplied an NA head :Oops:

Enjoy the day ppl, ill have to concentrate in getting a long motor and getting the car ready for PI :(

Tryo dude - heard the full story and feel for you man. So much work was put into that to get it ready as well.

Matt - you are weak.

Otherwise - the day was AWESOME. Very different to any other track day I've done as this was overtaking practise! LOL.

The 4 fire breathing GTR's owned Winton yesterday with out a doubt. And with like 50 cars on the track it was a case of how many times you could lap everyone in a session. Massive overtaking under braking as well as overtaking around the outside on the sweepers. Best $20 I've spent in a long time.

And a very impressive track debut from GOLGO. And the Snowmobile held a very well and things are looking good for this weeks Dutton!

:)

I know, I know.. I missed out hard.... :) I really wanted to go but I had alot to drink on Sat. night and got home at 4am. Sounds like you guys had an awesome time.. that would have been mad fun overtaking everyone.. dammit. I should have stayed home Saturday night =/ very disappointed.

hehe thanks for rubbing it in, i deserve it.. i know it's no excuse, i was kicking myself when i woke up and saw how good the weather was in Melb... i thought about driving up around lunch time too :)

I had a red n white jacket. Didnt say hi i came past a few times but you all had you were all looking rather intently at the r34's engine didnt want to break the serenity :)

Who ownes that blue r34? That thing was hammering. Definatly one of the quickest that i seen out there (and one of the best looking).

Some Pics from Yesterday!

Scotsman and I line up with some of our toughest competition.

Someone once called GOLGO weak. The guy in the green Gemi begs to differ!

Track days are thirsty work so we thought we'd better stop off at the pub on the way home.

    • 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.
