lol, thanks guys. ;) just quietly I turn 28 today and feel every bit the old cnt that I am. :D

this birthday is on track to be amongst the most memorable for all the wrong reasons. I was woken up at 5:30am by some arse clowns outside my apartment, got a glass of water went back to bed not feeling so good. then at 8am I get a call from my dad (expecting happy birthday son). it's to tell me a car down the road from his house was torched at 5:30am and his daihatsu was stolen. no big deal you think, $1000 daihatsu, who cares? well my nismo pro 2 way LSD, with GTS4 4.375:1 diff gears all nicely set-up in a 32 GTR housing was in the boot. :D I'm pretty fcked now as I've already fitted the front GTS4 gears into my engine so car is not going anywhere now with rear GTR gears and front GTS4 gears (well except in RWD). I have no doubt the car will be torched and the theives never caught. Car thieves in NSW have more chance of getting struck by lightening than they do of being charged and convicted in NSW. Police will be on you like glue should you speed, or own a loud car, or commit a heinous crime like smoking a joint but car thieves, burglars and pricks who assault old people can live worry free on the dole in their comfy government housing getting drugged up on our tax sponsored welfare. Great system we have here.

Anyway, enough of my moaning. :D Thanks for the kind wishes guys, it cheers the salty old baron up. :)

weekend plans included getting drunk tonight and staying that way till monday night. :)

Is the charade you're talking about the little white one?

hey mate, nah have never had or been in a white charade. it is a red applause. :D UFQ 739 I think.

car doesn't matter. it's not worth anything. my dad only kept it as it was not worth any money and I asked him to keep it for me to use for parts etc. carried gearboxes, engines, diffs, wheels etc. it was great for that stuff. I just want my diff back. it's going to be a bitch to replace. :)

well all is well. My dad knowing full well the police would not exactly be issuing an APB to find his car took it upon himself to drive around between chatswood and brookvale and eventually came across the car in chatswood just 3 blocks from the police station. he figured that since they torched the last car that was what would be in store for ours and it would fk the diff. he knew they wouldn't do it during the day but would probably do it tonight, so the best chance of getting it back would be today. anyway he called the cops and it turns out they have arrested the litttle butt monkey as he robbed a few houses and was caught trying it again. lucky my dad found the car as the bloke had left half a can of petrol in there reading for tonights torching... forensics is checking the car for prints, skin and dna right now. so it looks like he may finally feel some justice afterall. bit rough that the police couldn't trip over a car that was literall 1 single right hand turn away from where they park their cars.... about 150 meters away.

anyway, it put a smile on my face. :P

      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.
