Ah ok.. Used to see one every morning going down south road with BOWDOWN on the plates. Had a fat drift bodykit on it, thought it might have been you..

yeah spotted a wine red 32, a dark blue 32 gts-4 and a white 33 last night at west lakes. wonder what you guys were doin :D

HEY!, i seen those cars to, but the gts4 was black, not blue :D

LOL!

Yesterday at St. Agnas shops, I saw a dude in a white 33 with a SAU sticker on the windscreen. Gave a wave, got one back. :teehee:

And from what I can remember from lastnight when I was in town for a mates 21st, I saw two 33's (one white, the other silver) cutting lap after lap on Hindley along with a grey 32 GTR with a nice set of rims. Ended up parking behind a Orange 33 on Hindley.

Oh, and I've been told I ran into Dan (gzilla) and his missus. :banana:

Kye

spotted flicks car in your new work car park.

the cars from the drift demo out at mallala today were being defected as we left the track :teehee:

the cops must need to make up there monthly quota of defects.

how low is that? you went to the track to do it legally, or spectate legally, and they still punish us for it.

R-E-V-E-N-U-E :banana:

Doesn't mean you you can drive an illegally modified car on the street thought. when will people learn this?

well if its a purpose built track car on the street then its a different story.

but what your telling me is, you dont have one, not on, illegal modification on your car?

think hard.

i agree mate, but when they sit outside of these events, waiting to randomly select a car for a new sticker on the front window, it gets frustrating,

how would you feel if it was you? lets say you went to watch, and as you where leaving, in an orderly manner, they pulled you in and slapped you i the face for a defect? you would be pretty cut right?

its like taking candy from a baby for them.

i think i spotted you on friday morning to..on regency road? i was in my company (seina foods) car.

im pretty sure it was you anyway.

    • 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.
