johnnyr31, it wasn't me, my wish was that more early skylines had turned up. Everybody buys and lives with what they can afford according to their priorities. I own a Gts2.5t, sure I could afford something flashier, but then I'd have to give up something else in my life, a choice I'm not willing to make.

I actually thought your car was well turned out, and was glad to see it there. One day you may trade up, maybe keeping the r31 cos of the great times you had in it [we'll all have to trade up one day]. But I wouldn't trade up cos other ppl say blah blah about a certain aspect of it, they are small minded bigots who ought to have more sense.

Don't take their narrow views to heart, meet them head on and laugh about it, turn it around to your advantage.

See you at the next event, and I'll be the first to say gidday and shake the hand etc.

And as a lesson to us all--------------------see what a few cruel uninformed comments can do, I bet it took johnnyr31 real courage to say what he did on the forum, please do not divide the skyline comaraderie we have going, SAU is for all.

Whats next R32's ???????????? lets not be silly.........

OMG what a gorgeous day it is, not a cloud in the sky and all that is required is a towel, sunscreen, sunnies and a banana chair, a beer, and I am in heaven.....oh and the day off work would help!!!!

johnnyR31: I agree with trident, buggar the bigots, after all she's a skyline...so what does it matter what number follows the R anyway.

Aurora, great pics, cheers, and I reckon mid october sounds great for the next get together

oh havagreatweekend and dont forget the aeroguard!

I'll be "in" for almost anytime,'cept Wednesday 13th to Wednesday 20th...There's this l'il Italian fella riding at Phillip Island that I'm riding down to cheer on(I'd cheers for Mr Bayliss,too,but he's right off the pace this year...sob).So most other weekends are "game on" for me!

I'll be out hunting out new photo locations and lighting situations over the next few weeks;I might even post a few photos to see what y'all think!

Hey Johnny-I'll echo Tridentt150v and SkylineGal's comments-don't let the goons get ya down!Personally,I would've liked to have seen more 31's AND 30's!Did you see that red two door featured in Zoom 'bout 6 months ago?What a weapon!Don't be worried 'bout what your ride is:as long as it's a 'Line,I sure as hell don't care!Even then,ANY well turned out car is good in my eyes!I know that sounds easy for me to say,but every car I've owned I've looked after and had pride in it!

Dont worry about people saying things bout your car, im a fan of your car, not just cos its a line, but the effort and time that youve put into it. As long as it makes you happy.

    • 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.
