:D She got there a bit early and was upset with me that I had sent her too early. She was really impressed with the calendar too! I missed out on my month of October though :D
well done on calenders flick only 1 problem i see no pic of me :D

I'd say heslo's pic for dec is by far the best

would love to see more variety next year

only problem is flick didnt have enough high quality pictures to choose from - when we say high quality, we mean printworthy

she had to use some less than standard images to display some very superior vehicles this year which is a shame

I hope that anyone who is wishing they were in it please do the hard yards and take some nice photos of your baby

We can arrange several dates throught the year for the sake of photoshoots, pending of course the approval of sausa

Would be an excellent cruise, bbq, and most of all scenic run for everyone to take photos (pros, amateurs and dunces alike)

One point I would like to suggest for next years calendar - If you have no inclination of letting your numberplate shown, please remove the numberplate before taking the pictures :D I really hate seeing a big white photoshopped rectangle... I rep the "D" plates all the time fo rizzl yo

reminds me of the big yellow dot they used to put in porno mags

*sigh*

-D

well mine was "printworthy"

so just over looked not to worry

oh im not doubting that it could be a really wicked photo and all

but for a certain amount of inches printed, there has to be a certain resolution of pixels to fill that

thats why my A3 display template is 30,000x24,000 pixels, and thats just for text - not needed when on a PC but needed when doing 1:1 printing on a pro grade printer... I can guarantee you that 95% of the photos submitted would not have made the grade, because if it doesnt then the printout looks really bad ... make sure u let me know when ur car is ready for combat and I'll take some damn nice pics for you, and make sure that we get some pros like sapphiregfx and hostile in for the cause too

-D

I just want to say thanks to everyone that submitted photos. Im sorry if I missed yours out, I mustve over looked it. Ive had alot going on besides this and have been very busy.

I was a bit dissapointed at the lack of photos submitted, and of the quality of some of them. People had since August but I still struggled with quality and quantity. Special thanks to the people who went out of their way to take some wonderfull shots for the calender.

Im still happy with the calender though and am proud of my work, I enjoy doing this. I make nothing from this, infact I have to pay the setup fee out of my own pocket, but I dont mind as I enjoy getting them made for SAU members.

I agree about number plates and im sorry about that, I worked with what I had submitted.. It can only get better each year right?

Thanks again for the calender Flick, its really good. Ben (Nugzy), i will drop yours off sometime next week when i am not working, so sometime after Wednesday.

    • 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.
