Last year as part of his support of SAU-Vic, Provex aka John aka “Gadg” aka “The Vag” built us a custom BBQ Trailer. We thank John for his time and efforts as this trailer is a great base to build on. www.provex.net.au

But the project is far from complete and needs to be revived.

At the moment the trailer will store the collection of 30 witches hats, 2x Fire extinguishers, A first aid box, The BBQ boxes, The club marquee and anything else the club buys to use at events.

Here is a quick list of ideas I have for the trailer:

1. Paint it bright candy pink and add frangipani stickers – Sydney style. j/k – But a nice bright metallic colour might be the go.

2. Deck it out with some car stereo gear.

3. Create a battery system that can charge from the tow vehicle or get it’s charge from rotation of the axle.

4. Needs some rims.

5. Some form of racking / storage inside.

6. It needs some covering for the hotplate.

7. We need somewhere to keep drinks cold.

8. It could use R31 stove top tail lights which would suit the brick shape / square top shape.

9. Also I guess we need to get it registered and insured.

So at this stage were looking for donations of:

Stereo equipment

A pair of rims and tyres (4x114.3 – Early Nissan, N/A Stuff) We may look to change this to 5x114.3 so we can use Skyline rims

R31 stove top tail lights.

Also if you have any more suggestions, post ‘em up.

i might have two gtt stockies too. we'll see how i go in the next few weeks if i still need them or not. one may not be perfectly round but yeah

I also have some rims I can donate, they are 17x9 dished sparco wheels. They are not in the greatest condition (clear coat peeling) but if you were to give them a powder coat in black they would come up a treat..

Cool - Well looks like rims aren't going to be a problem. I can 2k paint those rims azza. Got any pics of them by any chance? I assume they are 5x114.3 stud patter to suit skylines?

Do-Luck - Yeah man have a chat to JB. See if they can help us out. If not no biggie, but worth a shot.

Keep the idea coming guys.

Yep - shopping list - I like.

Haha a big cannon hanging out the back of a trailer would be funny. I think it can be done. Flame thrower out the cannon perhaps

Anyone got a stupid cannon sitting around in the backyard?

    • 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?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
