GOOD WORK DOOF AND PAUL, looks like it was a great weekend sorry i couldnt make it after all the planning i went and made to get the car ready for the show just to have it all fall apart on me..... the painting plan went out the window and the sale of the old stereo falling through soooooo many times....... im now throwing it back in the ass end of my bitch and saying f@%k itand just sticking with what i have lolz cbf upgrading it atm...... and lack of funds held me back from buying an ecu to upgrade so i can finish the engine mods that i wish to carry out on it so i can actually use the full potential of the new GT3076R turbo i slapped onto the left side of my motor..... instead of running her at a lowly 12psi max....... but hopefully everything will be ready in time for final battle so DOOF plz keep me posted about ur plans for final battle and with any luck ill DEFINITELY see u there

Damn, if your goin for the high power.. i wanted to get my car in.. but its an NA and doubt it will be much help for your high power theme. I just wanted to come in with my system and such for this year, and till i get my full licence aint thinking bout shoving a turbo on.

It's only a maybe at the moment, not sure if it's going to go ahead, but we may not need too many high hp cars to keep the title... We need a MINIMUM of 6 entries, and pulling together 6 high horsepower cars at LEAST, will be enough of a challenge :D

well I've had 4 people (you guys basically) already say they will enter, and I'm going to try and bring in a ringer with a tonne of power... Interest is always ten times larger then entries though :D

So we shall see further own the track :)

But my main concern is to dominate that dyno and let everyone know that SAU means business :D

anyone over 300kw is being forced onto the dyno if there is time...

Final battle has invites from all over the country, and they do 3 sets of 3 power runs each over the weekend... last final battle, not one of our cars got on the dyno, but we didn't have crazy power...

These high hp cars spend about half an hour on the dyno for 3 runs pulling out whatever they can, so we have to be something special to even get allowed on!

i know someone who will have a 1000+hp GTR ready by then :D

P.S .. god damn whats your cat on Kuma, I WANT SOME! hahaha!

I swear he's still got some speed left over from his DJing days - gives it to the cat which makes it climb the curtains and run off into the kitchen with my homeless bag! :):)

    • 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.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
