Ok Guys and Gals -

Have your say about the categories that should be judged for the SAU-NSW Show n Shine day on February 15th.

YES - There will be awards / trophies / prizes ! !

Feel free to make useful posts - be please refraim from going silly - This thread will be heavily moderated for silliness :D

Here are all the categories that the organising comittee thought of - I'll post the top 10 in a poll (cause polls max options = 10)

Post back here if you like one that is not in the Poll !

Folks from other States - please feel free to contribute !

(in no specific order)

* Best Engine Bay

* Best Interior

* Best Skyline

* Best GTR

* Best GTS-t

* Best Daily Driver

* Best Modified Car

* Biggest Cooler

* Best Exterior / Body Work

* Best Stereo

* Best Drifto look

* People's Choice

* Best Sleeper

* Best Pimping Mobile

* Mr / Mrs / Miss Show n Shine

Are there any performance related categories? Or is it a strict show-your-cars only type event? No dyno, burnout, 1/4 mile (heck even 1/8th), motorkana or anything like that? Or japan-drift day style do burnouts around scantily clad women?

Doughboy - this is a Show & Shine only mate - the only thing we can promise from your list is 'scantily clad women' as this is being held on the Central Coast :D:)

BTW, the SCW will be spectators , unless someone here know how to get Flirt Models for free ;)

Perhaps make this poll with checkboxes instead of radio buttons?

Most immaculate car.

Biggest boobies.

Biggest turbo.

Bling Bling Bitch.

Best Midnight Purple R33 GTR VSpec

GT(S/T)-[t]

Could be S or T - the t is optional !

I know they are not the same but Franks has an unfair advatage (Dildo Yellow) so he can be in the GT(S/T)-[t] category ! :) :) :) :)

Or - Franks - there is a best Skyline award - maybe you can enter here too ! ! !

There are heaps of options ! ! !

All will be taken into consideration... franks, look again, I think you eyes decieve you! :)

hahahaha, you could have written down "lesser RB26 varieties" :)

good stuff, id like to go as it'd be interesting. though i should become a member shouldn't i :)

GT(S/T)-[t]

Could be S or T - the t is optional !

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... You g33k Brendan!!

Actually, pipes are used to denote "or", so it would be:

GT(S|T)[-t] :Oops: :Oops:

I would probably try unique as they seem to have alot of this type of gear... I have not delt with them though so might be better to ask someone else about their experiences.

Dan.

    • 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.
