:thumbsup: to Kudos Motorsports.

Orderd a new Brake Master Cylinder last night. Received prior to lunchtime today. F#cking awesome.

I called Andrew at Kudos yesterday lunchtime and asked if he had one and if so to get it to me quickly. He rang me back in 5 and said yep got one and as soon as you cut an order I'll post o'night express. Expect Tuesday if you order at night.

So orderd last night and it was waiting for me when I got home :D

Cars going in this afternoon to get another pressure test.

Wish me luck!

The coolant just keeps disappearing and I cant find out where the hell its going.

Engine stays cool all day every day.

Still hearing the gurgling behind the dash even after trying the things the mechanic told me to.

Fingers crossed its a loose hose!

Checked for both of those thanks guys.

Had a long inspection in and around the floor and under the car.

Did a few short and long trips and checked for puddles after.

Nothing and no signs under the car of anything going wrong.

Car feels really weird to drive cold. (I am probably just paranoid as I have only ever driven an auto 323 lol)

Dont know if thats just normal as its cold.

By weird I mean changing gears isnt smooth as it kind of slugs into each gear.

idles around 1100 then drops to around 900

I dont know hey will just have to see what they say when it comes back.

Dropped it at Ultra Tune Fyshwick as they could get it in for a test today for $50

Lol sounds like it would have been an epic stack.

I'm 24 and my right knee is destroyed from my many rollerblading fails.

I guess us young guys aren't as bulletproof as we'd like to think hey haha

Guessing we need to drink more milk!

I got the car back just before.

Turns out there is a leak from the actual radiator

+ behind the engine right up against the firewall some small tap thing that is extremely hard to get to

They suggested getting the radiator reconditioned

But I think I might just purchase a 2nd hand one or even a brand new one.

haha yeah was pretty f**king funny....wasn't even getting big air though lol. I had my helmet cam ripped off its mount and buried in the snow......it wasn't filming at the timestupid.gif

We estimated the ditch my head dug into the snow (relatively untouched, definitely NOT powdery haha) was about 50cm long and 30cm deep. When I was able to get up and hobble the 50m to the next T-bar, I decided I'd lay on the snow for a while to not further strain whatever I'd just done to my back....lay there for about 30mins before I could stand up confused.gif

Guessing we need to drink more milk!

I drink about 1L per day hahahaha....I don't think I have a calcium deficiency :P

    • 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.
