spotted a black 32R and and a grey 33GTST on bridge road at about 1-1:30, and a white 34R on og road not too long after.

Also, one of my bushes in the rear end appears to have gone (judging by the clunking noise), so I might have to drop the rear cradle and check it all out next week too :) Anyone wanna come over and help? There are beers and chips on offer :)

beer you say...? may i enquire as to the variety of the beer on offer?

gotta come over and have a look at those wheels anyways.

Thanks mate, but lucky you didn't get a close look at her :D .... she is a bit of a dog atm and needs some love and attention, which she will get next week. Nothing a good clean and polish won't fix. I will take the compliment though :)Love the colour of your fanta beast :) - tuff as with the black bonnet! (I heard you have plans to repaint it - why is that? Cops I assume).

Andrew, more than willing to help! Dropped my rear subframe twice on my car and you can do it at mine or yours if you wish :) Let me know

I have many varieties of beer on offer Dave - currently drinking Millers Chill when it is hot (cool, limey and refreshing), Guiness an old favourite, or got some Grolsh and Heineken on the go atm.

If you wanna come over on the weekend I may be about, but more likely to do it Tues or Wed next week. Work is currently simply psycho and don;t have 2 seconds to spare.

yep will prolly take you up on your offer Luke. We could have a North-easterners meet at my place maybe next Tuesday if you are off? Beer, TV, 8-ball and a bit of Skyline inbetween :)

ok it's on. Anyone keen on coming over for a bit of a play next Tuesday 23 Dec book it in.

If you know where I live, then come on over. If you don't know where I live, then I mustn't know you well enough :)

    • 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.
