After many years of successful years of hardcore drinking and weiner eating at Shutzenfest, may I extend an invitation for another SAU social get together - without cars of course.

As usual I will be there bang on 11:30am Sat 12th January to hold a big table/chairs, and need some other lads to help me hold the fort and setup a top position from which we can come and go all afternoon/evening.

Info:

Schutzenfest 2008

Enjoy the Oompah music, dancing, food – and of course, the beer – at Adelaide's annual German festival, Schutzenfest.

You can enter the Strong Arm Beer Stein Lifting competitions, or take a Traditional Bavarian Slap Dance lesson!

There's children's entertainment, stalls serving traditional German food and drinks, cultural heritage displays and more. It's a fabulous event enjoyed by more than 20,000 people every year.

Other attractions include Air Rifle Shooting Range with prizes for King, Queen and Open winners, and of course the large range of thirst quenching German beers. The 2008 Schutzenfest opens at 4pm on Friday 11 January 2008 and 12pm on Saturday 12 January 2008. Gates close at midnight both days.

Be THERE or be SQUARE

If you have never been before, then you don't know what you are missing. It is a tops day out, with all varieties of grog from (very alcoholic) apple cider, to German wheat (and other) beers, other imported beers like Hoegarten and Asahi, and of course pre-mix bourbons and the like. Then add all varieties of awesome food - including authentic German fare like Sauerkraut, Leserkase, kranskys, etc. Then add the fact that is is normally 35 degrees and there are literally THOUSANDS of half naked drunk chicks (and if it is hot enough they put up a spray tent - awesome entertainment to sit at the end of).

Wives, girlfriends and others welcome - the more the merrier!

Any volunteers to come early and help me hold some big tables/lots of chairs and have a BIG day out? :laugh:;): :)

    • 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.
