i can rock up at 10am, but i start work at 1:30, is it ok to just turn up for that amount of time? I work in south melbourne, so would be leaving about 1:20'ish...

any rough ideas at this stage when the awards will be awarded?

That is correct - only cars who are entering the Show N Shine will be permitted to park at Birrarung Mar.

Anyone coming along to have a look will need to find parking somewhere and walk in.

You will be able to join as a member on the day, but to make things quicker, I would fill in a membership form and bring it along with you, as well, with correct money.

So I can enter Mr Otto even tho he doesn't stand a chance of winning anything, just so I don't have to find alternate parking? :)

Entry to the pak opens at 10am, right? What's the time frame for Show n Shine entries since I doubt ferni will awake at 10am let alone be somewhere (other than a track) by 10am....

Can i join up us a vic club member on sunday if i bring the form and correct money?

I wont be entering in the show and shine, i just figured this will be easiest time for me to sign up as a member!

:D

:P

Hoping to come down and meet everyone, sent membership application a week ago so hopefully I will be allowed in the gate :laugh: (I did PM Adzmax to check for me) :(

Anyone heading in from Eastern subs want to cruise in together? I am from Kilsyth.

I should be there, but won't be entering. Too much competition in the R32 category.

Too bad we couldn't do a tie in with sexpo. Drive a skyline and get teh chicks! (or blokes if that's what you're after)

Guys this event is more about displaying the diversity of our club rather than a 'Autosalon' style car display.

The more cars we have tomorrow the better.

The trophies are just a bit of entra incentive so that the best car/s on the day get a little something.

If your car isnt in showroom condition, it doesnt matter, bring it along and put it on display so we can show the public what we have to offer.

See y'all tomorrow. :)

    • 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.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
