I see now,

thanks Dezz.

steady on boys...im not saying i know which 1 of the 2 it is...im just saying whoever told whoever could've easily made a mistake with the numbers

so we can assume its either 8 evo 9's or 9 evo 8's :O

i know SFA about evos...so dont look at me :P

Dezz,

It was a genuine thank-you for drawing my attention to the fact that my post seemed to be aimed at Ruffels, when that was never my intention.

It was a sarcasm-free thanks.

Phew! these forums can be a real minefield!

I gotta learn how to get what I meant in to print!

Peace

lol, relax mate...i wasnt even havin a go at ya :O

just sounded like saff thought i had the facts on this stuff....i was just pointing out to everyone that 8 evo 9's and 9 evo 8's is a very easy mistake to make :D

Don't the cops call off pursuits after 150km anyway? Then call in the air wing.

Don't have a problem with them driving fast cars. Would expect them to be supporting the local car industry tho. Parts ought to be cheaper too.

And whats with the low profile lights they are using now? Just to make them harder to spot? Or do they have 'clearance issues' =p

the point of my post was to point out that rather then doubting his information based on something youve seen doesnt mean what Ruffles posted was wrong. He was told they were EVO9s by someone reputible in the industry that would more then likely know the difference between an EVO9 and an EVO8.

Assuming that just because the car has the EVO8 wheels which i already took into account it doesnt mean it is one. Lots of people put different wheels on cars for whatever reason. GC8 STis often put bugeye rims on them and some leftover bug eyes (yeah wonder why they were left over... theyre almost as ugly as the new shape) even got sold with the 04 titanium coloured rims but that doesnt make them a the sexier 04-05 model (which if u took a similar side on shot not showing any real distinguishing marks other then the rims is hard to tell them apart).

My point being that you shouldnt have a go and be a know it all without seeing the whole picture rather then trying to be a know it all i take it on face value.

As you've found things can be easily misinterpreted on the internet... yay for non expression text.

..you shouldnt have a go and be a know it all...

My my.

Them's Fightin' words!

Maybe a bit of past injustice and self-doubt in there eh?

Henceforth, you may be known as, "Righteous Defender of the Terribly Misunderstood".

Well, now we know where we stand, we can all have a good lie down.

This should make your VIC guys cruises into exciting high speed chases as they will now stand a chance of keeping up!!!!!!

Unless you have a GTR, you wont stand a chance of getting away.

Nah not all the facts dude but just a thanks for the most logical explanation of the thread so far.

honestly get over the disagreement, who cares and lets start bitching over cops getting evos...

sif... all their cars should be evos and GTRs.

unless i fail making it in... then they should all have to drive daewoos and hyundais

do you guys drive around with no license plates?

you do realise they dont need to catch you, just get your plate and they have more than enough info to catch you ....thats if you dont wrap urself around a pole before they get to you...

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
