after noon light is alright... came over again yeaterday arvo at 4pm...

the morning light is worse unless you have polarised glasses or helmet visor... ;)

but to be honest the best time to go is around 11am-12pm thats when the best light is on the road an never gets in your eyes... its just magic...

well if ur talking about the best lighting conditions, late at night is best as other cars headlights give u early warning of approaching cars, especialy coming up to a corner.

That said, im keen for a mountain run anytime :)

Ok, well first in best dressed. All for Sat 19th of september?

Early morning or late afternoon is the next question.

Looks like we have a date...

Early morning FTW.

and almost a time...

looks like all we need now is a start point and some general notes on which route will be taken.

Can a little evo come join you guys?

I hope the little evo and and my Caldina are welcome? Pretty please. :D Any objections? :D

Looks like you have a good amount of interest there cuzz_33 should be a good day when it happens.

Im thinking early morning is the go, i've got a mate with an STI who is also keen if he can get his clutch sorted in time. If its gonna be a saturday i'll need a couple of weeks notice so i can get the day off. Hope word spreads so we get a decent crew together.

ok well im thinking early morning is going to be the time, exact time yet to be decided, we are thinking leave at 5 (from sunshine coast) then meet at kilcoy then for everyone brissy way meet at summerset????

19th is looking good...

Or we could look at the following weekend, 26/27th for dazdaz, the evo and boiracer.

Would like for dazdaz to be able to make it.

Was thinking of doing really early morning or late night run but will probably go during the day incase anyone doesn't know the road. The shaddows mid corner can really catch you out. Safe ftw. On that note, something like a 9am meet at BP landsborough.

We have 10 people so far;

    • 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
