Saw this at roscos the other day and figured I'd get one for the old man.

Just a question tho, seeing as http://www.entertainmentbook.com.au says they're sold as fund raisers, may I ask if I buy one from you who it is fund raising for?

The funds raised from the sale of the Entertainment Books will go to SAU-Vic as funding for more prizes and events run by SAU-Vic.

I highly recommend these books! After using 3 of the restaurant vouchers, we've paid for the book and already started saving. They're ace!

Put me down for a book aswell please :(

will do!!

Actually I'll be in the city all day today if anyone wants me to drop theirs off before the weekend.. just give me a call :)

Also you can pick a book up from cnr Exhibition & Bourke st, pretty much anytime during the week, just let me know beforehand.

Also.. I should point out there are a couple of Taco Bill vouchers again.. and this year there are even Krispy Kreme vouchers.. both an absolute must for SAU folk it seems :(

$12 from the sale of every book goes to SAU VIC :cheers:

So ie no personal profits for me.

Cheers!

Kaz

All good then :D

I'll take a copy, but don't think I'll make it to the meeting on Tuesday.

I'll give ross the cash and get him to grab one off you at tuesday's meting.

Yeh that's no problem at all. Is this the Rosco SAU Treasurer or someone else? :)

At this rate maybe we can out-do last year's sales!

If you do want my bank details just let me know.. ANZ to ANZ goes through in 4ish hrs (usually) :thumbsup:

Also have Westpac or St George accounts here and then there's the SAU account failing all else.

    • 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?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
