Welcome Anthony,

In the Newcastle Area specifically, as far as i'm aware there are only 4 others r34 gtr's (there could be more hiding away in people's garages)

2 white gtr's (livewire has one of these)

1 bayside blue

& my silver one

A cruise would be good. :thumbsup:

^Cheers for the reply.

i think i may have seen your one down beumont st a month or so ago from looking at your display pic? looked very nice!

I believe there is a silver M-spec about aswell...

Just curious and seeing if we can organise a meet/cruise, would be good to see what everyone is using first hand and experiences etc... mine is relatively stock so would be good to get a feeling of what others have done.

If your interested and free there is a cruise this wekend meeting at ausgrid stadium at noon, mostly v35/36 but i will be going if its nice weather. would be good if a few gtrs came along?

Cheers,

Anthony

ahh the other white gtr...Very clean car mate.

Bakes (Che Baker) had the Pearl Black V-Spec but ended up selling it to a Dr in the N Coast > he sold it too I think...

I was devo when i found out bakes had sold it, it was the same time i was looking for one and i would have grabbed it for sure ( i was on a secondment in perth at the time and i didn't know it was for sale :domokun: ).

Is yours an m-spec? i think i waved to you once around newy forshore in my yellow gtr...

My mate said he saw a BB vspec out at the mines in the valley also..

Would love to get some meets together, and maybe a nice group shot of some newy 34Rs...

was thinking of maybe organising a run to/around wollombi, although im not sure how friendly the roads are there?.. other one was going to be the north end of putty road and back.. other than that im not sure of many good roads around newcastle..

There are some nice roads around mate! The Putty run is always an impressive drive, but there are a few nice spots. You can cruise down the coast and get some nice shots similar to your Sig but with the beach behind etc...

You may end up with a 34T stalking you though :ph34r:

Yea fair enough mate.

ha dont get me misunderstood, if i were to organise a cruise/meet mate, it would be open to all cars.. skylines to anything etc..

The OP's aim was to meet other local 34R owners as i was having trouble picking/choosing modifications for my car, and wanted to see some first hand and get there veiw/experience on things etc... but i have pretty much got my plan sorted now, but would love for abit more action in the newy car scene.. maybe im just out of the loop?..

Haha there WILL be a scene soon mate! And hopefully we can have our own SAU NSW Newcastle thing happening for people with simiar interests....

I am sure there are more 34GTR owners around, ive seen a few around in my travels but not sure if they are local or passing through. They are an amazing looking car and always have my attention when i see one ;)

Those meets still happen as far as i know...... Those are the sought of meets that i wont be attending due too negative attention......

BUT the Newy car scene will live again, i have plans to get organising stuff as soon as i can actually attend (i.e. have my car back lol)...... Will be good to catch up with you guys!

33 owners just look at u funny when u wave at them. 34 drivers are much more friendly.

Since we're short on 34gtr owners, a general 34 owners cruise maybe more suitable...I remember there was one a few years ago to foster along the lakes way.

Matt, I know how u feel bout the car...mines missing an engine and gearbox atm.

      R34 power steering

      If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.

      You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.

      Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
