Hey Mate,

I've send your updated details, but no reply as of yet.

i did send this direct to acpt tho.

i also asked moar questions and shall report as soon as i know!

Did not get a reply yet from Acpt,

so i sent details thru to Aussie distributor, which have now been updated with him

as for time frame, still unsure, still in queue as we got in just after big promotions for Acpt.. which has caused a delay.

I have the news everyone has been waiting to hear :D

I have an email at home but have not been able to post it as the forums have been moving..

the 18th i will most probably be making the final deposit and they will be getting sent out.

we are on the production line at the moment i think. so not long now :woot:

will post email when i get home

thanks for the patience

Andrew

Nice one mate. My R is is getting the gearbox and rear diff done at the same time. Then it's on the dyno for a pass or two. I have'nt made any changes since the last dyno run so it should hopefully show any gains from the CF shaft

great to see they have started. Do they have an ETA on delivery as you have stated final deposit on the 18th...

Hope they got the shaft length correct on mine

Edited by Dr R

yerp the 18th and onwards they are expecting the shafts to be ready

and i figure something like fedex for delivery dew to their size,

so thats usually under 3 days..

i will confirm all this with him

niiicee this will be interesting :laugh:

Hey Andrew..

I got one small drama in that I`m heading to Korea 26/8 then onto Oz and wont be back to Jappa until Sept 18th..I dont mind paying extra coin for fast Fedex or UPS from the states if it can be delivered before 26/8.

Whats the chance they`ll be ready by 18th this month??

Hey Mark,

I'll check with him to see what he thinks the date will be, he thinks they will be ready by the 18th but i will check again.

i'm sure dew to their length they will be fedex 2-3 day delivery anyway. its the only way to ship out of the us i know this from snowboard purchaces

Cheers bloke....

UPS do it as well..2-5 days..the more you pay the faster it gets here..

Andrew if you want snowboard gear, buy out of Japan as its cheap as chips...Boots are a hassle cause not many big feet but but last seasons boards,bindings,snow wear goggles etc are usually half price or less. The Japanese always buy the latest and greatest and hardly buy last seasons gear, plus everything goes on sale here in Oct and by Dec its heavily discounted..

More than happy to help out if your after anything...I live in the powder capital of Japan and am regularly digging me GTR out of 60~100cm plus snow dumps..sorry bit off topic

Edited by elrodeo666

Ok they should be out before then, checking up on this.. but if not is there another address we can use?

i buy my gear from america with similar situation, got a whole 3500 retail here setup for 1500 mmmm powder, i might have to visit sometime!

    • 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.
