WOO cmon sau people lets see how many we can get down there....wherever that may be lol

You heard the man PM for meet point! do it! you know you want to!

Its good friday and you have nothing better to do!

yea i do the 2nd gor crusie the next day. i might come and say hi but i doubt is as i will probably use 2-3 tanks of fuel on the sat

just read the nissilva thread i might defently come now if there is another 31 going

Pm's replied to. I was asked the question of police intervention and all i can say is that if you are doing something illegal, you get your bikkies from the law. SO please nothing stupid / attention grabbing / fully sick moves ( i doubt anyone here or on ns.com are that stupid, but ricey exhausts do things to ppl :happy:)

Already got heaps of interest, so keep those pm's coming as it should make a nice start to the long weekend. There is all the info on page 2 of the ns.com thread explaining guidelines, cruise strategy and that because i am really bad at speeches on the day lol, and honestly cbf.

Catch ya there,

Ash

ALL PM's replied to, that took about half an hour, and theres ppl from sau coming too

Since im crap at making speeches on the day (unlike alex lol) it is as follows:

Follow-the-leader style (ill be driving the soarer)

If you are too slow, or ppl behind u are getting angry, put you hazards on and pull over...if you know you will be slow, please keep to the back.

More experienced drivers up the front / any evo's or wrx's up the front too (duh!)

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU GET CAUGHT BREAKING THE LAW

Any questions, feel free to ask on the day....or if u want easter eggs, they will be next to the soarer.

There will be a break in the middle of the cruise (explained in pm's), then a more tuff cruise will follow (for all the hard-core twistiers ).

If I am driving too slow for your liking, then dont have a winge, its not my fault my front tyres were cheapo's.

SO there ya go, enjoy! And nothing completely stupid please!

Ash

forgot to say any GTR's should be from 2nd spot on the cruise :happy:

    • 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.
