sydney's love affair with the chrome is legendary... no matter how hard you try someone will always turn up with 20" chromies in some hideous spoke patter (or lack of spokes altogether).

Although lovin the fact that guys are pimping out the Chrysler 300's (from memory the 300C's aren't available yet)... VIP style will reign in australia one day... bring on the widebody mitsi 380's, holden statesmen and chrysler 300's

I totally agree with you Tosh, thank god i get in for nothing is all i can say...

the Hummer was a huge let down.... the way they advertised it i expected to see XZIBIT's Hummer, only to find a stocker on 28's that wasnt even decked.... Sure its a H2, but i expected a bot more....

The Mines R34 is yet another fake.... it was built in Sydney using lots of Mines parts and stickers..... not as exciting as it being the real deal....

woman, well lets just say "woman" are non existant and as has been mentioned previously, you would want some ID if they are old enough to have any!!!!!

LUSHES, finally a car worthy of God!!!! built pretty much in the backyard from what i hear, and not a car thats over the top in any area... its the sort of car you could drive every day of the week if you werent scared of paint chips, which is a massive change to what normally wins...

Other than that you hear the normal stories as to why certain things didnt happen. My car wasnt tuned, it only got wired last night, my big turbo didnt arrive in time so i couldnt prove it actually drives.... blah blah blah

On a more positive note, the Auto Salon 350Z was pretty damn hot, as is Nokko's NSX. The SLK parked opposite the 350 is pure porn!!!!

Damn there isnt much positive is there lol

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.

      I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.

      Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
