yup they sure can.

we were constantly told about behaviour and things like that.....there are certain places for burnouts and stuff and if u do it in an area that is not for burnouts u will get into trouble.

its for the safety of others....if u r doing something stupid in the wrong area and hurt someone it just causes too much headache for the organisers (being deby and gary myers).

i know a couple of guys had their keys taken off them on the saturday and they couldnt get to their cars at all till sunday night.
with the size of the security guards AIR hired, i'd dare say they can do whatever they want lol

what the.........

Not that I was even there, but I'd still like to see them try and take my keys away...........by all means throw me out but you won't get my keys

+1

the security gaurds may be 7 ft tall and weigh 150 odd kilos, but id rather drive my car right ouuts there and

be banned over letting some buffoon have my keys for the weekend.

but hey, follow the rules and this wont happen i suppose :)

sunday morning that was us, lol, little black rolla, the biggest issue was that AIR and gary had diff officials out there which mad it hard, we got told to come forward while some1 was tellin us to come back, then got pissed off and went round the back of the track, cut sick when into the pits and started packing up, all the sercurity gaurds where talkin to us tryin to figure out what the f**k was going on, lol, but it was all sorted out, will be there next year.

but on a serious note, they call it a skid comp for a reason, if u had 250 cars in 1 area there to do burnouts ofcourse we r going to do burnouts where ever we can, it was abit stupid and when i was talking to gary head said that going through AIR was a mistake cause they r just a head f**k, but other then that, we had fun and it was a good weekend

oh, and also it wasnt for safety reasons about where u had to do skids, it was that AIR didnt want skids all ova the track, simple, dont hold a skids comp, cause ur going to get skids done everywere

+1 no one gets my keys. Get a kick in the nuts if you try.

Remember having my bikes in a show and shine years ago and they wanted my keys during the time it was there ... like f**k they're going to get them. I'm not handing over the keys to $13K worth of bike. I set up my display and disappeared asap with my keys. On the last day they caught up with me and had a spew :rant:

Still trying to learn my DSLR camera, so until I'm any good at it I wont charge for pics :D

They rambled on about "if a fire broke out, we'd need to move the bikes" ;)

I'm comprehensively insured for all my toys (inc fire and theft). I think there is a higher chance someone would steal my bike, than there is the chance of a fire getting it. :huh: To which I answered "are you personally going to be here at 3am if (or when) a fire comes thru, to move my bike? Don't think so"

My insurance would not cover me if they knew I handed my keys over to a (potential) thief.

:down:

    • 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.
