May just move in with my brother and pick up a casual job for a few months so i can at least do some touring around Vic:)

Get ready to change that sig of yours to...

"Roys 32 is to Motorsport what C&C Music Factory is to Dance Music

:)

All right then, the count is 3 x R32 GTSTs:) One powered by RB26, one powered by TD06, and the last one powered by a loose nut behind the wheel:)

...i'm taking the camera so i can put it on the forums :(

LOL...i dont think you were even there, so doubt you would have any incriminating footage of me.:)

..and believe me, some of my loses got the whole "ooohhh...aaahhhhh!!!":) ... sadly for all the wrong reasons:(

lol did u have fun tho?

i got 3/4 of the way to calder and then josie threw up.... so then had to drive all the way back again... poor daewoo... all that distance and no break other than pulling over while she threw up for 5 minutes lol

Yeh it was, but i didnt enjoy it near as much as a trackday where you balance the car and carry as much corner speed that when you get it right you get the shakes:)

I got into some trouble trying to hike the thing thru in 3rd gear with plenty of corner speed and using angle to slow the car up...it was just too hard:( 2nd gear and slower corner speeds was much easier to control.

Hope Josie is feeling better:cheers:

Oh and some photos are required, i need on egood pic of the car torching the tyres to be sure it was worth the pain:(

Dont tell me you banged it up Roy...

Nah just some black from the tyres and the smallest of kinks in the panel that needs re-spraying form the Winton thing anyway.

Those tyres of yours were completely woefull, the car walked around all the way thru 3rd gear which at least made the car easy to turn into corners with the semis on front:thumbsup:

It was funny, carrying what i though was a fair whack of speed under the bridge sideways, if the car hit the rev limiter it really upset the cars balance. A few times it bit me:) Ppl with more of an idea then me probably could have handle it:(

your car sounds mental dude, gotta love the gate

LOl..thanks, where you driving or watching. Should have come up and said hello if you think you knew who i was:)

Thats the only thing going for my car at the moment, its pulling strong and sounding trick:)

    • 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.
