Sorry to silver R34 person who waved at me today on Athllon at the Thunderdome.... I did wave back, but at the last minute. I honestly didn't even see you till you'd already crossed in front of me cos I was in a bit of a daze! Had just gotten up and was running late for an appointment!

lol I thought you did wave back.

5hiv just now while I was walking the Doggie. Also his Bro's car earlier.

I Hope that Massive, Multi Street Burnout was Not you guys.

(think it was a V8 last night)

No not us. to be honest we dont know how to do a burnout and dont even want to know or try,

I would rather spend the money on some performance part then smoking tyers.

  • Blue R33 - heading towards Charnie at around 7:20am - I think it's teh Red P-plate one.
  • Mum was telling me she spotted a Red R35 GTR - Yes - my family are well aware of my hobby as they do not escape my GTR blabbering’s ! Haha so mum now can identify an R34 and an R35 (She is a bit rusty on 32's and 33's). Apparently it looked like mine but with a lower wing and 2 HUGE exhaust - I asked if it was like U.Pete's car (370z) but she said nah - it was a GTR. So I'm guessing it's the red R35 that's been going around lately.
  • Also spotted these fellows walking around Bryce's car, checking his wheels, exhaust and such out in the shopping Centre whilst Bryce steals my wheels. They were making awkward turbo noises :x
  • Also - spotted a black R32 GTR/GTT? - I saw some fellow looking at Rosie from a distance who I kinda recognised. it turned out he had a black R32 GTR/GTT? and saw him at Trojan the night before. No waves / nods.

Wot th!! .... I work hard driving around all day and keeping an eagle eye out for 'spotted' opportunities ....

Whilst Jeremy it seems is recruiting family members, i.e. his Mum to cruze the streets of the city and feed back spotted opportunities. I can't believe this, does she give 'waves' too? does she hold up a sign to the unsuspecting Line drivers saying something like ... 'Cop this wave coz I'm Jeremy's Mum' and then they wave back (coz everyone knows Jeremy), then Jeremy can claim a 'wave back' as well!!

I'm not entirely sure if this sort of action is within the intended protocols and guidelines when this thread was first created be Shell .... do we all now consider employing the services of recruitment agencies to identify potential 'SAU (ACT Thread) Spotters'?

Seriously, this is getting big!

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
