Howdy Guyz,

Hope everyone is well; I've been offline for a while working my azz off!

Looking forward to my 2nd DECA event as the first one in May was a hoot and I've developed some type of crazy motorkhana withdrawal symptom after the first dose! Is there such thing as a tarmac challenge red cone chemical inbalance? :(

FYI: DECA dollars already deposited and will be emailing my entry form tomorrow after I locate my CAMS passport thats floating around home somewhere!

Cheers

Ben

form sent via e-mail, and money sent as well :( . time to get my new tyres and brake pads and shift kit installed now.

shift kits are very worth while... TJ has had his trans built by RVO, i have had maintenance done by them, seem like a good bunch. My knox autos shift kit is great, but dont rate them as a workshop

yea ill be getting 4 spare tyres this time, ima use the same rears and finish them off and run re55 on the front....without ABS....

is 180sx ABS any good anyway?

AASA form:

i forgot to attach the other form so i sent another e-mail and this time attached both lol sorry about that.

yeah alot of people say the shift kit is worthwhile i also got a bigger trans cooler to go with it and some new defi gauges lol. ive been preparing for a while, i just got to get it all put on now. ive herd good things about RVO but they are on the other side of melbourne. luckily where i get my car worked on just around the corner is an auto tran shop that has fitted a few of these which is perfect.

entry list updated.

there are 2 names missing at the moment. this is because when they are converted to email the attachment is lost. i will have them tommorow so do not worry if you are not on there yet. (those sent between 9-930 wed morning)

There's generally lots of competition for that title, especially me this time. I'm coming with my daily, a CE Lancer with a few performance, but no handling mods.

I will be faxing my entry today.

Danes bringing the better car!! haha

Very funny Ryan..

Haha I knew you'd put something like that there Ryan...

Well I can't just throw RE55's with tread in the bin, even if they are 5 years old. They will get a DECA farewell, which is fitting as DECA was the place that ruined them in the first place! :mrt:

    • 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
