On behalf of the SAU Exec, thanks to all who attended the Xmas dinner tonight!

Special thanks to SAU:SA special guests Martin & Susan Donnon for coming along on behalf of the Willall Racing garage, and great to see John Munro rejoin the scene as well (hopefully either Martin or John will bring out their R35GTR for those who haven't seen one up close and personal yet)!

Thanks too to the organisers Steve and Luke (with help from others I am sure) who always make for a well organised and well run event.

Great to see such a big turnout of SAU:SA and SAU forum members .... hopefully some people who have not yet joined are considering doing so, and becoming inaugural members of the SAU:SA Club!

Yeah it was a great night.

Apart from catching up with my brother in law's nephew (niksta) who I had no idea was an SAU member, it was good to catch up with the usual crowd.

Also good to catch up with Martin after such a long time.....shame we didn't get a chance to chat longer.

Great to meet new member Dave (fungoolie) tonight and to finally meet John (Munro)......hope to catch up again soon John, maybe on one of those 8 Ball night sessions at Andrew's.

LOL, 3 blokes in one room that have R35's.....they're getting popular now!!

Thanks for organising the night Luke (Helso) & Steve (Madaz) and thanks Martin (HOSTILE) for providing the viewing pleasure of the GTRs racing around Bathurst.

Congrats to Ben (Dohmar) for SAU Club Person of the Year (I have your plaque mate) and congrats Troy (Sapphiregraphics) for Best presented SAU-SA Car (I can't remember the exact title of the award).

Thanks to everyone who came along especially Martin Donnon, John Munro & David (fungoolie) for representing the R35 GTRs.

It wasn't until everyone left that I realised how few I actually caught up with on the night - apologies to those I missed - I was engrossed in conversations with Martin, Ryan, Bec, Christine & Andrew for most of the night.

Madaz - FWIW I thought the food was pretty good but I was the 2nd last to receive their meal (I was one of the last to order though) which also contributed to my non-socialising.

I look forward to bigger and better events in 2010 as SAU-SA develops even more from the outstanding foundation the execs have set.

      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

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      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.
