If there is going to be a few of you classic boys I might fly over for the weekend and then aim to have the car there in 2011.

If you do, you might get a chance to feel for yourself what we were talking about, as I can set up the PNV with same bars.

Cheers, D

and pay a mobile mechanic to follow :D

just need to keep a lot of tools with me and belts etc and it should be fine.

Im told C210s are really good for highway cruising because of their gearing, im pretty sure its true, it does well.

yea they sit at about 4000rpm lol. take alot of fuel money.

seriously though i trust these cars with my life. take brake fluid. p/s fluid too. socket set. spanners. cigarettes. ect lol

just hope you never have to use any of them.

is yours auto?

mines the 5pd manual and it sits on ~2800rpm @ 100km/h

i guess the 3speed would push the revs up higher?

The past nats have been awesome at Shepparton. This event in Adelaide is promising to be even bigger and better. Please note guys, if you pay your entry to Mallala and nationals entry, you do not need to pay for concourse judge or park.

$140.00 early bird pricing for mallalla is very cheap motorsport.

If you already have a CAMS l2s licence and SAU, NDSOC os CSA membership, then you do not need to apply for membership status to run this event. If you are not a member of these clubs, you will require membership of a CAMS affiliated club to compete in the track day. CSA is offering weekend memberships with CAMS affiliation for $20.00, and this covers you for the week. You may look to pursue membership with SAU for the whole year, or CSA for $55.00 for the whole year.

Any questions head to www.skylinenationals.com or www.classicskylinesaustralia.com.au who are the organisers of this national event. Or send email to [email protected]

We have been able to confirm that we CAN get Day CAMS licences for those who just want a day licence. However, the cost is $55.00. Please note, this is the CAMS charge, not CSA's. So the cost for a yearly licence is $110.00, and a day licence $55.00. You MUST also be a member of a CAMS affiliated club to race. Whether that is CSA, SAU, NDSOC or any other CAMS affiliated club.

CSA can do nothing about the CAMS charge for day rates.

Just as long as my homework pays, im definitly in. will be doing a few club days or similar before hand to iron out the bugs...

ordered a set of rear disks, mine are too thin to get machined and are warped to buggery!... might amend the old project thread.

my idea is to go along for the experience and enjoyment of the whole thing, not to win anything

your coupe dont need to be in perfect nic, just CLEAN! even it it was dented and marked and odd colour guards, as long as it is crystal clean that is a good start

speaking of good starts, my suspension parts have been sorted, an dwill be in the 'testing' phase very soon

can get permits for a cruise or to move a vehicle etc. but for a cruise it has to b a register one and need a letter from the organisers. just wondering if there will b a registered cruise for this event and if so, who to contact about getting a letter? (just says what the cruise is for and location/roads taken etc).

would love to take my dr30 out..

    • 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.
