I saw two on the way to work yesterday, a dark silver 32 (i think) that was broken down on the new iron cove bridge. (sorry i couldn't stop mate, i was running late for work in the black 33)

and the other was a bright orange 34(pretty sure) waiting to turn off Epping road toward the Macquarie center.

Spotted a white R34 25GT Coupe with Altia kit on Cumberland Highway turning into Hamilton Road with plates YMY-969. Whoever you are, I flicked my lights at you. Would like to meet and say hi!

yeah u might of seen me before then, got keepup on it now , they use to be on my black gtr before...

Saw you tonight, I was driving the Forester behind you at maccas, in case you thought a strange guy in the car behind was following you!

was wondering who that was haha , also freaked out that guy at maccers when his alarm started going off in the car park as i drove past lol

Hi, not so much 'spotted', I mean... it was at a car show, lol. I met a member and his son (probably both members) at a car show in Springwood yesterday, forgot to get names and contact details. The car in question that I saw was a white R34 V-Spec II N1, number plates GTR N1, owner had a SAU jacket, spoke to his son more though, pretty sure his name is Matt, he showed me a photo of the black R34 he owns, which I remembered seeing at All Japan Day last year. Just wanted an email address, anything to track either of them down, just interested in a photoshoot is all. If your uneasy, look up matt_m photography on facebook, you'll find a couple of photos of the car i'm talking about, as well as an S12 Silvia I took photos of in the same morning. My full name is Matt Mcilwhan. Thanks :)

I believe you met Terry (Father) and Matt (Son).

I have sent them a PM for you to advise of your post.

Cheers.

Hello Matt,

(and thanks Chris for vetting)

Yes it was myself and Matt (aka God_speed) at the show yesterday.

It was in aid of SIDS entitled, "Cameron Burke Memorial Car & Bike Show" held at Springwood Golf Club.

Did you like many cars there? You came up and met us?

Did you know about the Cadillac that had its bonnet dented by a stray golf ball?

I'm not on Facebook sorry...

Aaaahh yes!

You're not a fly-by-nighter - hehe...

Sorry, I'm not on Facebook - but Matt is...

I don't know if others are interested in any more - but if you can post up a couple of mine on here, I'd appreciate it Matt thanks!

    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?  
    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
