Haha!!!  Been a looooooooooooong time old friend, how's things?

Buying that Pulsar way back then broke me good n proper.

Since selling my beloved R33 4 door, the R31 SkyWagon, the N13 SkyHatch and losing the B17 Pulsar to the ex, I have owned:

1 Subaru Liberty Wagon, 2 VS Utes, 1 VX Wagon,1 VY Wagon and I now own 1 Subaru Forester and 1 Mazda 323.

Nissans seem like a lifetime ago and I still miss Boost everyday.

Had some good times and fond memories here and now this place seems more than a little lacklustre.

Pity.

We'll catch up real soon, if your in Canberra still. I'll send you my Mobile number via PM

Boondahs, Burbouns and Bitches are on the cards mate. Like to hear more about what's been going on.

I'm driving a Maloo R8 that is awesome, GTR's in the shop with John getting a 6speed Getrag put in and another rebuilt motor. Have a nice Nissan Pathfinder I'm doing up. Gave the Liberty to one of my sons.

Hey Anf, yeah seems to have changed alot around here in my absence!!!

Couldn't do Coupes or Sedan again after having Hatchbacks, Utes and Wagons.

It'd have to be a StageA for practicality.

I've been scoping out a R34GT-4 for a few weeks.The guy is willing to sell it for 12k. It has problems with the front drive shafts. Anyway if I get the a car was going to swap it out the engine for a RB26/30 and gearbox to suit. Pretty much build a replica GTR all by myself to reduce on labour.

But the other side of me wants to save for a house deposit. Who knows maybe I could build this then sell it when time to buy a house comes. The fact that it's not a GTR means it probably won't hold value. Living without a line will definitely leave a hole in my heart. What would you guys do?

    • 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.
