R34Liner

hay guys and gals Well last night I was on the Thursday night cruise going down Old Pac and I looked down at my Temp Gauge and it was just under the 2 dashes at the top of the gauge that mean "hay, I’m f***ing HOT!", now I was fanging it pretty hard and I was sitting on some high revs on the inclines, but I have done old pac a million times and I don’t think I have ever seen the gauge go up so high. My theories are a) it always goes that high but I'm always concentrating on the road that I have never noticed (and therefore my question is, should my temp gauge fluctuate that much at high revs?...or is this really a problem?) b) my thermo stat isn’t opening up at high temps or only opening up slightly (but in saying that, once I slow down and let it cruise at low revs, 2 grand, it cools down fairly quickly (travelling at about 80kms) which means that the radiator is doing its job....right?) c) I need new coolant? (but my mec said that shouldn’t really make a diff) I’m soo confused :S d)air pocket? (but what’s the likely hood of that? and if so, why would it happen?) Now, after taking it easy and letting the engine cool down to normal, I continued down old pac, not as hard as I had been, but still fairly hard to see if I could get the temp up again but I had no problems...... I don’t know what to doo!! help

Spotted a Black R35 as i was leaving the Sydney harbor tunnel. i was about to go and catch up to it when a) i realized i was in my mums Nissan Pathfinder and b) my mum was in the passenger seat

Man i can't even imagine what that would be like - i can only begin to comprehend what i would feel like if someone stole my R34 - did you have an immobilisers or any other security on it?

Ive been in your situation before, not fun. i hit the pot hole (it is a very loud bang isn't it!!) - i got out and checked the rim and it was bent - i didn't have a camera and it was dark so i kept on going...next few days my tier went flat because the connection between the rim and the tier wasn't tight enough due to the bend - took it to bridgestone and they sent it away to get fixed - i have rays rims - 2 piece - they had to heat the metal and bend it back into shape - it didn't cost as much a i thought, it was 120 or something..... i didn't bother going through council because i needed the car back asap and didn't have the time to stuff around and also i have heard of ppl trying and failing...and for 120 buck i cbf waiting a month or more for a failed result! anyway just thought i would let you know that it should be possible to fix the rim - good thing about rays rims is they arnt cheap shitty rims and they don't crack and break like the shit brands and so they can be bent back...hopefully goodluck!

fezza on Windsor Rd

Hahah yea i was wondering why you sped up behind me - then you flashed and turned off castle hill road - did you see me put my hazards on after you flashed your lights?

Hello R35 owners and those of us who wish we were R35 owners! I was wondering, since i don't own a R35 or see myself driving one any time soon, if any of you guys wish the R35 came in manual? Ever since i heard about the R35 i was disappointed it didn't come out in manual, then i realized - wait a minute, i don't drive one - how would i know whether or not the experience is 'lacking' in anyway due to it not being a full blown manual! so yea thought i would ask you guys just out of curiosity

i was thinking the exact same thing....

i was there the day that the guy with the red supra came in, mark was telling me all the work hes getting done to it....alot of $$ - to bad its being spent on a supra

Some of you guys probably saw this in the NSW section, didn't realize there was a thread specifically for our misfortunes!! This isn't exactly engine failure, more driver failure i guess.... Engine/Car: R34 25GT RB25DE (no i didn't forget the T, yes its non turbo ) Type of failure: hydro-lock Factors influencing the failure: water, lots and lots of water State of tune of the engine: stock as a rock besides the CAI that lead to its ultimate doooooom Suspension and tyres: lower then usual...once again leading to its doooom Oil used and service interval: doesn't make a difference General comments: in a car park on the top floor, pissing down rain, visibility was about half a meter to a meter, made my way slowly to the ramp to go down to the next level which was (unknown to me) flooded at the very foot of the ramp, the front of my car was submerged momentarily in this flooded region.....then my engine decided to do a physics experiment and tried to compress water! YAY! 10mm bend in crank - 3 bent con rods - 2 bent valves and a crack in my head after i had my engine re-built, i was cruising along at 70km/h when suddenly my revs started picking up by them selves, i took my foot right of the accelerator but the revs kept going up until it hit my rev limiter.....i put it in neutral and and turned the car off - now rolling at around 100km/h with no power steering and my breaks as hard as a rock - the reasons my intake valve was getting stuck was because when the water entered my throttle body it hit my intake valve like a wall of cement, and since the butterfly was in idle position (since i was only rolling down the ramp when my engine went swimming) it bent the valve rod into a slight U shape and that's my story!

Spotted this Black r34, green p plater, parked behind dural maccas - any one from in here?

wow i forgot i wrote this! - your all welcome! hope your enjoying your beeplessness - and i didn't realize that you don't need to do step 1...i guess i didn't think of starting there

Knowing Albert he was probly driving around in his silver Subaru......i cant understand why tho, his R34 is the SeX! - unless, is it still sick Albert?

spotted a Black R34 GT with green plates - we were side by side at the lights on Windsor road, everyone behind us was probly shocked that we didnt do the classic launch and street race when the lights went green....not sure if hes an SAU but meh, nice car mate, glad to see another green p plater r34 out there, and wasnt a d!ck either, didnt try to race me like everyone else!

Free bump, i come to the sales section of sau every now and then to see how the prices are going for r34's - compare mine to what i payed for etc and i cant believe you haven't sold yours yet! - if the bank would lend me 50k right now i would run to the bank, grab the money and run to where ever you live!

nice little extract from the sound of music there

R8 - after i took this pic i turned in next to him and had a chat till the lights went green and then i let him go in front of me and he let me hear it mmmmmmm

Spotted this guy in Mac Uni Car park the other day, nice R34 - wondering if your on here? I own a White 98' R34 with green p plates - i think yours is the >2000> model

excuse my ignorance but what is a UHF Terry?

spotted GT300 - niceee

I'M IN hopefully...

Is anyone clear on what happens to the cars now? - confiscated for how long? - and doesn't the driver have to pay a daily impound fee as well? lol looks like the skyline won - but the idiot is paying for it now

shotgun manual conversion (unless i have missed someone else) - pm sent on estimated price

yea on my way to Uni - dude you needto get another skyline so I can spot you!

haha really thats soo close to my house - i live literally a street away from that roundabout
