OK, Thanks to Kev for taping it, I've digitised the 1/2 hour show that showed the Dutton Rally coverage, and put it on youtube. It's in 3 parts, as youtube won't allow anything longer than 10 minutes.

Part 1 -

Part 2 -

Part 3 -

For you lazy sods that can't spare 21 minutes to watch all of that, I've edited it down to 2:57, basically just the bits with skylines, one rex, an Aston martin and a 180 SX in it -

Some better footage in the 1 hour show on foxtel.

Some high flying action from bris and juzz.

Some interesting footage of "jesus" in his.......32! WTF!

Also, looks like ryan and I came third in rookie team, when on the night we came 4th. Have to chase that one up as its on the results page that we came third. Where is our trophy farkin!

Some interesting footage of "jesus" in his.......32! WTF!

I was laughing at that. At first I thought looking at the helmet it must have been Handbags (couldnt remember what his looked like) but then he was selecting wrong gears everywhere and I was wondering how on earth he ran a 1.19.1 driving like that. Only then did it dawn on me it was infact an R32 GT-R and not those boys at all.

But watching our footage you'd have to wonder how we won. They show me losing it at Shep airport, Blaise losing it at Winton and me waving to the officials at Sandown because I could only do 1 fast lap due to the water temp issues. Even the shot of Blaise from the W.A. round was him having a small lose. So we must be hacks - which makes all of you even bigger hacks! :thumbsup:

But that hour show was definitely a better coverage than the chanel 9 version. Even SAU Vic got a plug thanks to Juz!

Interesting that we came 3rd... id like to know what happend to who ever was in front of us... cheaters. Glad we got a bit more air time too.

Poor team sexpo, guess Dutton isnt R rated. People must always borrow pimped hummers for midnight repair runs and then come back and blitz the times. hence no airtime

watched this last night was really good to see everyone kicking Evo and Porka ass... the lap onboard Chris' 33GTR around Sandown was awesome!

thought we wouldn't see any of the Sil80 but they showed a brilliant run right at the end, couldn't quite see who was driving but assume because it was GOOD driving then it was probably Ryan...... that and the drivers head wasn't jammed up against the roof! ;)

the footage of Snowies GTR was a bit dissapointing, they really didn't capture how much faster you guys were... but plenty of sliding

    • 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.
