Sauwa Friday Night Cruise *** Friday 10th August***


Recommended Posts

Wow we weren't expecting so many cars!! Obviously due to lack of maps haha that was my fault paul asked me how many he thought we needed im like "Cant really see anymore than 50 coming" But it was a great turnout!

The places we thought we would have cop trouble like Hillaries and Midland we had none. Cruise was pretty event free which was good. Even though the cops showed they didn't hassle us and noone got yellows from what i could see - i think a couple of people may have got a caution. Wish the cops were in Midland for the friggin V6 Commodore iwith neons idiot who decided to do the most unimpressive burnout ever.

Thanks to everyone that showed :(

funny thing is the 5 or 6 cops cars rocked up at malaga in a matter of minutes, they never seem to get to crimes scenes that quick or when u actually need them...we must have been doing something reaaallly BAD...f*kn cops

its more important to catch a hoon than it is a murderer or drug dealer in this state coz cars are an easier target for them

i liked how the cool guy in the commodore came back after wards and just casually goes "hey guys" LOL

I like the way he was ignored when he did this when all our cruise guys turned their back on him LOL then he just sat there for 5 minutes!

Was he waiting for someone to go up and say "wow man, cool V6 auto commodore with single spinning rear wheel, open da hood bro, lets see what makes dis puppy so dam impressive...actually, do you want to swap cars?" LOL

I'm really sorry I missed it, sound like you all had a good time.

Judging by what people are posting, I'm getting mixed signals about the police presence. Were they just hanging around to make sure nobody was misbehaving (fair enough) or were they being antagonistic? Is it true that they blocked the exits at one meet point? I wonder why they do that. Anyone here in the "service" and able to shed some light?

My mate in his White WRX got Hooned, Was really a good turnout tho even tho cops where around I still enjoyed myself, and a hand to everybody because I would say noone really did anything stuped Few quick squits and slight drag here and there but no burnouts and being stuped at the stops,

The car that crashed was a R34 not sure about any more details other then that.

Canot wait til the next SAUWA cruise

O PS: "7yphon slaps dan" Where the F^@k where you, you PICKER!!!!

I would not have said the police presence was over the top or anything. Think they just wanted everyone to know they were there and around so behave your selves.

Who was the hero that was mouthing off to the copper at Mindarie? Was your point made at all? That cop seemed friendly enough.

go here

he was the hero mouthing off at mindarie

What a tosser with an attitude problem A few guys were telling him to shut the f**k up and most others were shaking their heads in disbelief.

Overall though, a FANTASTIC turnout and a great cruise. Wicked fog and well behaved crowd :( I did have to laugh at the irony of the two guys at Mindarie beating each other up while the two cops cars were cruising around all our cars 100m away.

Morning all,

Good turn out last night, Good to see that most of us controlled ourselves in the conditions.

Hopefully everyone else made it home safely.

Scotty you are a bad man for buying a Honda Civic a real hairdressers's car.

    • 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.
