If the BBQ part of this was a little earlier and bit closer to town I'd like to actually make the BBQ part and catch up with people.

I got a lot of stone chips the last time I was on a Skyline cruise out that way and TBH I prefer to do it on my own when there aint so many cars.

Well that's just an idea pulled from the other thread.... if people would prefer to do something else I'm happy to change it :) I just thought ppl would prefer a bit of a "drive" rather than spending most of the time at a bbq area..

You kinda need brakes, they really help with the stopping thing....

What happend? I remember your car, it was smick as.

cheers oscar. it aint so smick now! throw in some track/skidpan days and a lack of money and it slowly goes downhill from there. as for the brakes, a seal in the reservoir decided it didn't like the heat and was slowly leaking every time i stood on the skids until it ran out of expensive brake fluid! lucky it didn't start happening until after the trackday a couple of weeks ago!

Was alot of fun, I did about 180 kilometers and used a quater of a tank by the time I got home. there were a good number of cars, maybe a could more would have been better. And that icecream truck was totally random.

James "I want an icecream"

Someone "Too bad the pub burnt down"

*Icecream truck music in distance*

Me "WTF!! Icecream trucks still exist?!?!?!"

Only two low points of the day:

1) no one bought utensils for the BBQ so we had to make tongs and spatulas out of cardboard (im looking at shell the "organiser" :down:) actually it wasnt really a low point, it was kind of funny watching everyone (including me) burning their fingers on the BBQ

2) and the stupid corolla with frangipanies that got in front of ZCR when we left the Cotter.. i got held up for aaaaaaggggggeeeeeeessssssssss and had to go through the tight twistie bits slowly :( but i caught up once i turned the boost up... 14psi ftmfw!! :) and apparently there was a stupid biker, but i was lagging behind at that stage.

highlight of the day.. overtaking the stupid frangapanie corolla in a cutting in 3rd on 14psi, fk 1Js sound good on full song.. also the mad flutters :P

does anyone else have a drivers tan? (right arm only)

(im looking at shell the "organiser" :D)

what part of "BYO" don't you ppl understand? :D :D

It wasn't so bad anyway, someone rustled up some newspaper to clean with and it was pretty easy to flip the sausages. But you're right, was funny :D

There was 2 stupid bikers going super slow which we got stuck behind for a bit, and then another stupid one who flew past us all and the slow bikers at stupid speed. PMSL when he got the pinky finger by the car in front of me :P

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

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
