I thought you might want to see what The Organisation arranged for the UKs Skylines.

Asside from the usual park up of a load of cars (over 100) a parade lap was the order of the day for most of thye cars. Not sure of exact numbers but someone counted 102 Skylines on the track for the parade lap. One R31 led the way driven by Claire Williams (Booty-licious) and after that was a huge array of R32, R33 and R34, GTS. GTT, GTST and GTR.

Obviously there were other full on track sessions with some dedicated to Skylines but, as this was part of a wider Japanese car meet (from Marchs to Scoobies and everything inbetween) the parade lap got people really excited and, if the number of people hanging off the pit wall was anything to go by, it wasn't just the drivers and their passengers that had a good time. Some of the passengers were as young as 3 years old!

Anyway, I thought you might want to see some pictures (the first one is mine):

was just talking to some of the fellas here about that meet you guys had in the UK. 108 is an awesome effort.

the skyline owners here are too lazy to rock up at the same time on the same day lol. but imagine if all the ones in sydney or melbourne got together... i'm sure there's at least 5 on my street.

You guys must have a tight knit community up there in the UK.

Thanks for the reply, it took a LOT of effort to do and we spent over a month putting it together. Some people drove for 5+ hours just to be there and take part. It's a once a year thing to have a National Skyline Meet. The first year we saw only about 30 cars but now it's in the sixth year it really has grown. :(

geosocial factors only explain a small part: the UK has a population of some 60M, and Australia has about 20M. and geographically it would be about the same distance to the venue in both the UK and Oz. here are maps for comparison:

but to be honest, i think there's also a difference of cultures. differing perceptions of what constitutes a 'community' and 'community participation' go a long way to explaining why it's so hard to get people involved here.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
