Hey Guys,

Well i suppose it's safe to say the cruise was a success. Started off with perfect weather, some of us met up at the Thronleigh maccas and then we were on our way. We met up with some guys from the central coast at AutoPro Gosford and then headed off to Wisemans Ferry for our picnic. The drive there was nice, PranK put alot of work into this cruise and it definately paid off with the drive along that road. Some people complained it was crap, but that's their problem. A majority of us enjoyed the day thats the main thing :) Thanks to PranK and JOC469 for the rides, and special thanks to all of the people that made the sausage sizzle possible :) Also a thanks to all the kind-hearted people who made a donation it certainly went to a great cause - i lost an uncle to cancer a couple of years ago and my aunty is currently on death row due to cancer also, so it's kinda sad and i wish it was a curable thing. Oh well life goes on. I enjoyed the day, looking forward to the next cruise!

Once again thanks to PranK and JOC469 for the rides :)

Cheers,

Ryan

Thanks Prank we had a great time,,,,,We couldn't beleive how many different makes of cars turned up. Where do u start,,,me getting clobered by the box trailer in the macca's car park,the remote controlled cars at Gosford, the look on the big mutts face on the ferry, the 2 Bull-terriors(gossip mungers) and a nice easy run down to the ferry. How about the Suzuki pulling that wheelstand as he overtook us,,,,COOL.

I wanted to have a bit of fun on the old Gosford road and so did the Honda behind me,Oh well,, a bit of a Pity about the poor guy in the Excel,,,that could have been any one of us. Thanks Onarun for the great photo of my car coming off the ferry,,,Thats now my wallpaper at work,,,I love pissing off the 2 Commadore drivers I have to suffer everyday.

I know Monty loved it,,,he went straight to bed when we got home,,,how many sausages did u guys feed him,,, he was farting all the way home!!!!!.YUK.

I'm thinking this should be a twice a year thing,,,,I'll bring the Cricket set!!!. Some more time beforehand and Mel and I should be able to get some sponsors on board.

BIG Thanks gotta go the Bec, her Mum, Dad, Prank and Steve, sorry if I missed someone. Thanks again.

Mel,Neil and Monty.

no pics were taken.

no one was hurt, just shaken up. i think his g/f was going to be taken to hospital for a check up but not sure what happened with that.

we drove past about 20min after the accident on our way to wisemans ferry and we saw 3 big rural emergency services trucks (i think that's what they're called). they were there to clean up the oil and the fallen lamp post. his car would definately have been towed away.

      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.
