Awesome day, as usual. Had some brake problems by the last session (i had none) and i got a broken windscreen but it was all worth it.

Did anyone catch my epic fail and recover on turn 1 on video, i want it sooooo bad, couldnt have done better if i tried

Thanks to all who organised, it was a very smoothly run event, now hurry up and do another one

A big thanks to everyone involved in organising it. The day went extremely smoothly and just goes to show how well organised SAU is.

I was extremely thrilled with the way the SS went.. My best of a 1:15.1 hand timed still puts a smile on face :)

Can't wait for the next one... :ermm:

OMG!! Sorry Chubbs, how could i forget to say thanks. You certainly helped confirm my game plan out there in the first session for the day and calm my nerves down about having my baby out there on the track for the first time too. It was great to have an experienced mate next to me first time out.

Phanks mate!!

PS. Posting last night at 10:00pm after leaving at 4:30am that morning, racing all day and then driving home, i was more than a little fried in the head bud. Sorry Chubby, you know i luv ya mate!!!!

so what's the quickest lap time of the day in a skyline?

Some old fella timed one lap of the white R33 with no wing, sorry to the owner dont know who it is. Licence plate starts with BBR

He pulled a 1:09 on that lap. And pretty much from watching his car in group four while it was still out there in the morning, must have been the quickest car and probably bettered that 1:09 at some stage.

The Fairlady pulled a 1:06.65 WOW

Thanks to all the organisers. Choice day aye!

Thanks to ABoBob for driving tips especially. Made the day so much more fun to have some knowledge to work on. Choice :blush:

Had a freaken ball out there.

Car definitely needs more straight line power....

Big thanks to the organisers for a super smooth day.

All the comments about the car were much appreciated, even with windows up and helmet on my ears were ringing at the end of the day.

If anyone has any video of my car (green soarer) i would love to see it as I have NFI how it sounds from the outside.

Looking forward to the next one.

Here's a vid of one of the last runs I did, with one of Gregs (vspec) mates as passenger: http://www.mediafire.com/?dm3ylw9itlt (Warning 46MB)

Its definitely not a clean lap and it's about 1:12.7

When I find the other tapes I'll post some more!

So pissed off that I forgot to press "record" before the first session when I was chasing Chubbs :blush:

Yep just want to say a big 'Thank You' to all of the organisers for the day...it was a top day even if it was cold!!!

It was my first time on a track and I learnt heaps and heaps and didn't even scratch the car...didn't even find the mud so maybe I wasn't trying hard enough :blush: Anyway only timed a couple of laps and got a 1:17....

btw did anyone pickup on my quiet screamer pipe?? (black GTST with silver AVS wheels in group 2)

      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

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      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.
