my flat mate has a evo.... well is that the 4 door turbo'd lansers? gsr or something!?

close, the gsr lancer only came out with a 1.8L turbo engine the genuine evo lancers came with 2.0L 4G63 motors. but all are 4wd. what people do is grab the gsr and kit them up to look like a genuine evo.

Both.

Pikie, woody an co ect.

no , that was jason. i have known him for ages, used to play inline hockey together. he lives in brisbane now. im pretty sure he's still got "27OEY" last time i seen him.

Yeah we drive to bris and back every day for our jobs with energex.

better then staying in the shithole accomodation they got for us.

beauty of it is they pay us for every km we drive and all the time we are in the car.

cool as. my cousin works for a company who lay power cable for energex in bris. i think it's called "agility" anyway, he lives in kallangur.

also spotted "FLI81" subaru gt forester on gympie tce in noosa today. pretty nice car, seen it before though) and i saw michelle's old subaru liberty green with the gold mags. :D but the best car i saw today was at the sugar rd roundabout on the back of a tow truck, a jza80 supra similar to this one JZA80_3_Gallery.jpg on the back of a tow truck heading down towards wises rd. looked pretty tough. any1 know who owns it??

WOO HOO! Any damage on it yet? The dude who bought it was young and apparently just wrote off his first car (commie). :)

done a search without much results, but where do you guys get your cars tuned? getting an ecu and deciding on what to get based on what i can get tuned. i'm in gympie and one shop can tune wolf, but they are a bit dodgey. i have a mate who can road tune wolf (version 3 and 4) haltech and microtech. he's done a few and has the tuning programs on his laptop. otherwise i'm looking at a power fc and getting him to road tune it and just stick it on the dyno to double check the afr's. i wouldn't mind if i had to go down there to get someone to do it, just have to find a way to get off work as i run a business.

Chapmans in noosa tune power fc's quite well i have been told, so it would be worth the drive down to get the fc tuned in noosa, alot safer than a road tune.

    • 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.
