Good shot.. Wil.. :) ..

Mark.. you can get it from OZ tyres.. 18" with tyres for $1800 or even better deal now.. :cool:

1800!!! stuff that.. lol thats a set of forgies and rods and gaskets for my SR :)

Hopefully more black POOWA turn up next time... bid the Yellow POWA.. hahah :)

for sure bro

we be rolling on 17s and 18s in our black datsuns with gold rims yo.. (mine are actually bronze..)

That one had a good price on it for a manual, was factory colour and kit as well.

I just couldn't do it....another $15K to do what I needed to it to :S

I'll stick with the 34 for now...it's starting to get interesting...even for an auto :)

Yeah i couldnt go past it Dan, it had a destroyed rear shock but some coilovers fixed that.., but i know what your saying... its going to be some hard saving for turbos or a blower with some brakes to match...

again thanks for the pics guys.

Your turn! :D

I reckon you should start a new thread so it's easier to read!

meet points can be BP yatala..?? Springwood Mc donalds. then Sunny bank .. mt cootha.. and perhaps the mountains behind ther but i havent been ther personally. :P

what do we all think..

should rename the thread to plan a cruise thread for SEQ SAU

havent decided yet brenton.. whats good for you guys a week night cruise or a sunday cruise..?? i wanna throw in a BBQ and what not..

and did u call me the other day i sent a message..?? im guessin u want some work done.. reply to me.

i must say the roar of 20 skylines heading to the next meet was something to remember :P

Man i gotta agree with that

We've been on some other cruises but nothing compared to that. especially the last meet point was an adrenalin rush.

How about a Sunday (Day cruise)for the next one

Markimaks' suggestion sounds sweet. Hey we're from Sandgate but prepared to start off at yatala-

no worries

What about 5th or 12th august

Edited by pnk32

I would be keen for:

Tatala BP -> Springwood Maccas -> Sunnybank Market Square -> Cootha -> See what happens!

PS my pics were either shit or exactly the same shot as the ones already posted will get the trypod happening next time, camera shake yo!

    • 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.
