the guys we buy cars for in UK usually have a higher budget than the average aussie customer, mainly due to their more favourable exchange rate with the yen... we just bought a R33 280TypeMR for about 1.3 million yen for a guy in the UK... most of the cars we've sent to the UK have been either built drifters/track cars or rare models or GTRs.

then again I think I know of at least 150 kids under the age of 20 with R33 GTSt's in melbourne alone. and from memory SAU VIC has abour 260 paid memebrs.

I reckon an east coast australian skyline meet would be of great force and magnitude if everyone pulled a finger out and showed up.

UK just looks more impressive because

A) They have better cars than us :O

B) They group the cars by colour :)

It's the first time we tried putting all the cars on the track together, I think the colour groups was Fuggles idea. :) which I think it worked really well.

If guys have 100+ members in Perth alone :D , why not try and organise a big meting there and aim for the ton? :)

I'm sure there must be a hell of a lot more Skyline's in Aus, than over here. Most of your main citys should be able to do quite well.

As for us having better cars than you guys...................................well, go find better ones guys. :happy: We haven't got the market cornered you know!! :happy:

Great pics and really like the colour co-ordination. In all my years there, I only spotted one skyline which was a 33 GTR in silver on a trip back to see my parents once. This was about 2 years ago.

I know of several over there including Cam's red 34 GTR which I dont see in any pics but I know he hasnt been in the best of health lately so quite possibly didnt show.

Great effort and in my experience, getting UK guys/girls to an event is a lot harder than the aussie's due to stepping outside of the comfort zone in a large part. :happy:

    • 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
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
