Does any body on SAU work at Trojan, thinking bout takin my car there to fix the defect stuff but wanna chat first. Or is there someone who's best too talk too? Do they give us any sorta deal?

Thanks guys. I'm still thinking I may do it myself buuuut then it maybe better to just get it done.

As for replacing upper inner control arm bushes and radius rod bushes, what's best to go with? OEM, nolathane?

Well, totally different but same, the SkyWagStag now has 4 lots of either New or good second hand Nolathane bushes (Castor, Swaybar and Swaybar links) on it.

Being much better condish than the 24 year old Flogged out ones, they make a huge difference. But I guess new OEM ones may well be the same.

I just got whatever was cheaper.

Rubber is better, even for racecars.

It takes up the shock and vibration without getting loose.

Also John at Trojan sold me those volks for $600. Was $800 but he couldnt get a part or something so i got a discount. He is very nice.

$800 was a bargain anyway.

Well thank jeebus the hot weather is over.

I can move again, and be outside during the day.

Whiteline do rubber too.

Hardrace have the option of hardened rubber, but its mostly arms n stuff with the bush already in it.

Also stay away from rose joints or pillow ball joints, they suck balls, and wear very quickly. Bastards need replacing in 6 months.

Yes i wasted money on that crap. Thanks Driftworks, wankers.

there was sudden rain down at my dads in Calwell for about 10 mins yesterday, got out of the pool, smoke everywhere, herd thunder and the raid instantly came down hard! the heat cracked a pipe for the pool heater so lost some water out of the pool, the rain filled it again within 10 mins....

so I went inside, jumped on gt6, got the 33 and went drifting :)

I just hope they will at least re-look at the highway driving. Making it 120km/h would be a great increase. That way I can drive 130km/h on the highway instead of currently driving 120km/h :D

    • 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.
