Was good to see people again and was a great night! Will hopefully be out and about more often after the end of August as opposed to every 6 months! Thanks to the organisers

Super tops night, Jim's always such a fab bloke but I could've listened to Fred and Alan all night! The methods and engineering they employed 20 years ago still outweighs some of the shit we're doing

Alan was awesome, confirmed everything I talked to you about on the phone, their set up in the GTR was word for word what Sean wants to put on mine.

Yes, totally reinforces everything you discussed with me and everything Alan mentioned was crystal clear to me. Thanks mate.

The club has been invited to be the feature club on the Sunday for the event. We have been asked to fill the apron in front of the function room with skylines so make them shine and come along, all skylines are welcome.This will also be a great opportunity for the club to promote itself to the public.

so where the hell was everyone? I was there front and center, from just before 8am till around 1pm, and I saw 2 other skylines the whole day.....

The 'club' display was cancelled when we found out that we had been over committed in terms of numbers.

They were just trying to get a heap of cars there regardless of whether they were skylines or not

Sorry mate, thought that I made that clear when I asked if you could come to the dinner instead.

Tony, nothing was "made clear" even after rereading the whole convo again . Regardless, shit happens and I had a ball, talked for half an with Colin Fulton(team gibson) met Freddy , got his scribble on my poster next to Mr Jims, the Shannon's guys loved my car and said if they had class for older nissans I would have got it hands down, And I scored the original "redbook" from 1977 that has my car in it, for the high rolling price of $5. And on top of all that I saw Jim flogging the doors of the R31 just like I remember watching with my dad at lakeside over 20 years ago. :D

      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
