West - ive been told no licensing will be done on the day, so if you want to enter, you'll have to figure out a license beforehand.

Or contact [email protected] to see if you can convince them to do it for you.

"if hawks win then gtrs will eat grass" thats what you left on my voicemail. i think i know what you were trying to say, you just had a gtr moment trying to say it.

Wouldn't a spoken GTR moment mean some computer fixes the words as they came out of your mouth so that you don't really have know what you're talking about? :D

I can't believe I have to pull out of this event! So pissed off. Just realised I have a bucks party on that day which I have already paid for. I'm going to find another day to go there I think. I've been looking forward to this all year.

Also - Ryan, the driver of the Nissan Slightly - GTR's eat slightly's (and grass) for breakfast.

Yeah I wont be there unfortunatly. Which is a real shame cause I was looking forward to feeding fysie some grass.

Hang onto it. I'll get it off you sometime. Bring it to next Sau meeting.

Directions to the hill climb (curtosy of DrNick from teh WRX Club)

Jump on the Monash/Princess High/Freeway and head east. Moe is ~1.25 hours from the eastern parts of Melbourne

The first exit for Moe has the McDonalds there, easy to see. You do not need to take this exit unless you want some food

You need to take the next exit which is the Newborough/Yallourn North one (it is ~5kms from the first Moe exit above)

Turn left at the stop sign at the top of the exit

You will come to a set of lights, go straight here (if you need fuel, there is a BP on the left before you get to the lights)

Turn right at the next set of lights (which are ~1.5kms from the last set)

Turn left at the roundabout (~400m from the last set of lights)

Turn right into Coach Rd (~400m from the roundabout)

Go up a nice big hill ~1kms and turn right into Bill Schulz Dr

And the hill climb is on the left ~400m

Or you can use Whereis or something to get directions.

Address: - The Gippsland Car Club - Haunted Hills Circuit, Bill Schulz Drive, Yallourn.

Bill Schulz Dve is off Coach Road.

    • 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.
