Well this isn't actually a skyline event but I know a few people on here like myself have bikes so here are the details for any one who wants to come along.

A friend and I are organising a bit of a Sunday cruise for anyone in Brisbane who is interested at the moment we have around 8 bikes confirmed but who knows what will happen on the day.

People are welcome on any kind or size of bike and with any level of riding skill, we already have people on everything from NSR150's to TL1000R's :)

You can ride as fast or as slow as you wish, it can be a leisurely cruise or a bit of trash as there is ample opportunity for everything with plenty of nice straights, high speed sweepers and some tight twisities. There are designated points where the faster people will wait for everyone else to catch up along the way so that it is fun for all.

When? - 8am for 8:30am departure on Sunday the 4th of August

Where? - Meeting in the carpark out the front of Coles at Kenmore on Moggill Road in Kenmore. There is a roundabout right in front of the entrance and we will be clearly visible from the road.

Maps and directions will be handed out on the day which will included nominated fuel stops and points for waiting for everyone to catch up.

If we get off on time then we should be back into Brisbane around 12-1pm.

Hope to see some of you there, If you want to come along and want some more details or want to know who I am so you can find me on the day email me at [email protected]

Damn straight they are :)

I'm pretty keen, as long as it's not a 'cane it everywhere' ride - I don't have a great deal of experience and would rather not bring the Blade home with cosmetic modifications :(

I should be able to get a few other people to come along too, a few others with assorted two fiddy's, and perhaps a mystery person on the Bush Harley (KLR650 with basically no muffler :( )

/me points at slip and does that 'haa-haa' thing like Nelson off the Simpsons :D

No it's not a cane it everywhere ride, everyone can ride at their own pace and there are designated points where we will wait for everyone to catch up so you don't have to worry about getting lost of left behind.

On the other hand those who want to cane it everywhere are most welcome to go at the front of the group and do so :P

Like I said anyone who wants to come is welcome, as long as they bring and friendly, casual attitude and bike of some sort!

Actually there is another ride on this weekend (Sunday), starting at Noyes Motorcycles in Ipswich... leaving at 7am!! It's a 3 hour ride to Somerset Dam, have a bite to eat, then head to Willowbank Raceway to watch the Superbikes. Tickets are ~$20 if you buy there, or about $40ish if you buy at the gate.

I'd forgotten all about it (actually I thought it was next weekend) - the guys said if anyone else wants to tag along then you're more than welcome. Same deal, there will be guys who cane it and guys who cruise, go at your own pace. I'm told Darryl Beattie (?) might be going on his turbo Blade... 226 rwhp, what a weapon :eek:

The offer's there anyway, if you wanted to meet up at some point then you're more than welcome, if not, then I might see you next time...

Sorry 'bout that, forgot I'd already sorta committed to this one... let me know when the next one is on!

quote "Two wheels or four? Four in this bloody weather!!"

i say 2 wheels 24-7 just like the mt tembarine run :P

nothing better then taking the bike for a ride in the wet or should i say nothing better then the bike taking you for a ride in the wet!

nothing gets the hart pumping more then trying to go the speeds you do in the dry when it's rainning i say hell fun.

but i guesse then again when the bike starts fish tailing on the freeway and umm well lets just say over the speed limit you start to think twice about what your doing....

      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.
