Lol the lotto would be nice to win, the supra belongs to good mate of mine and he has left me in charge of the build, should be fun little project, everything is bolt on items so shouldn't be a hard one at all probably only take a week to do. Speaking of other project i am about to get a 2008 Evo X MR that i will be picking up in a few weeks, pretty excited about that, its gonna be my daily driver so its not gonna be extremely modified just your basic bolt ons. Lucky we bought the AME Tracer wheels they will fit the Evo perfectly (if my brother lets me hahaha). The R33 GTR looks like it will be getting turned into a fully spec track car now so everything on that will be getting sold off that over the next couple of months (maybe) as i don't really need 2 daily drivers and its hard to use its full potential on the street, anyways heres a pic of my new toy:

The Evo will be a nice everyday street car in traffic and can probably hold its own against most of the pain in the arse falcodores, but i will always be a GTR man until the day I die.

Hi

Update time, the car is almost complete, another few weeks and it will be tearing up the North QLD roads, the last bit of painting should be done by today and then its re-assembly time. All the glass is at the window tinting shop get done super dark, hopefully won't see the rollcage through it, and it will probably be getting glued in next week. We are currently trying to get a Car Show/Dyno/Burnout comp happening at Palmyra Dragstrip on the 25th of June this is when the car will make its debut, it should be fingercrossed ready by then. So we should have enough time to get practice in before Jamboree so we don't look like complete useless dickheads when we get there :yucky: . The carbon boot and doors have not been fitted yet as they will be used for major drag events, we still have to fabricate a drag wing and buy and mount the parachute aswell.

We also have a few more bits coming in the mail, a set of Carbon Ganador Mirrors, A tow hook which has to be fitted, and my brother bought some front clear indicators (i keep telling him the gonna look like shit, see how they look when they turn up).

Anyways here's some pics of the paint job:

    • 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
