Noooooooo my beloved EX-front bar :P

Bad luck to all those guys that had the mishap.. Hope everything sorts out ok :(

I saw that cop. I was in front of Guy (SCR34M) when he pulled over. I drove on for a bit, then decided to turn around and see if he was ok. Came across the cop and about 8 other cars on the side of the road.

I made like hay and bailed!!

Great cruise! Weather average at start, but definately got real nice later on in the day!

Great turnout, loved the drive (although I was passenger - next time my car for sure!)

Apart from the East Perth incident, Kerrys cooler pipe blowing and Matts R32 with loose wheel nuts? Was pretty good cruise! Loved the hills, I took a few snaps, will post up tomorrow whilst at work.

Props to the organizers!

i drove ryans car on the hill leg

cant wait to get my new turbo bolted on :D

good cruise, the silver 32 who was behind us in the hills doing a bit of drifting... NOICE :(

to the people who crashed, good excuse to upgrade some body parts eh?

Good to see everyone at the F.U.P Karl / Ryan, as usual looking good enough to eat! Bad news about Tom and his vehicle to vehicle interaction, hopefully insurance covers all of it.

awesum day glad the weather held up at the last min!

i def think we should hold these cruises more often

by the way i was in the white s15 but i previously had an R33 so ive been a member of SAU for ages its good to see 2 car clubs come together and everyone was really friendly

today was a good day i bailed early and then almost had a crash on the way home cos some flamin mongrel in a commonwhore pulled out in front of me, had to lock up the brakes and now have bald spots on my brand new tyres :(

awesome!!! that weather was insane cold!! go the team huddle around marks car!! only stayed for first leg as i had work so pissed!!!..

BUT ILL SAY THIS!! I WILL NEVER FOLLOW SKYLINES AGAIN, you people have no idea where your going :(

-we go left

-nah im sure its right

-you sure??

-yep, yep

-allright you lead

*where do we end up?? at a bottleo with 20 cars behind us!! bahahahaa

hahahahaha so many wrong turns and who rocks up to save the day?? Brian once again!!!

lol got to work 1hr and a half late, boss was not happy.

was a good cruise i enjoyed it till a little boo boo lol but anways good turn out aye? who know how to get a bonnet open? lol its a bit stuck!

A pic may make it easier...

Prob just a bit of jiggling,, dont b afraid to put some muscle into it... going to be fixed by insurance anyway.

72 cars?

it didnt look like that much...

still a good turn out though :(

Nah dont think got 72 cars also, my friend got bunch of extra maps also didnt gave out much. I think is around 30 to 40 cars today at the cruise.

Hey guys, great cruise! The bad weather and wet roads did kill the fun in the earlier part of the cruise..but still, it was fun with the massive gathering. Didn't manage to spin though the fun with the wet weather.. wet roads and bald tires dont go hand in hand

both me and my partner really enjoyed the second and last part of the cruise.. love the scenic drive.

great job to the organisers....

oh btw i was the guy driving the white onevia.

Cheers

There was plenty more than that, I counted almost 30 cars at the end & that was only about half of what we had at the start & at gateways. It was a very good turnout by both clubs :(

    • 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.
