from what i understand, someone had an accident into him, and as he was putting the car onto a towtruck, someone hit the car again

yeah thats what happened. parked car in no standing zone, car into of me hit the brakes to avoid it, i hit brakes and stopped and the car behind me locked up and slid into me pushing mee foreward. then when the other cars had left and the tow truck came for me, the towy backed up and as he was about to put the tray down another car ran into it at speed and rammed it under the back of the tow truck :thumbsup:

Shit it's going to be a tricky one for insurance.... who pays for what?!

Lucky both cars that hit me had insurance. the frist guys insurance told me they will try to asess how much damage was accured in the first accident, dunno how they'll work that one out, the cars about a foot shorter now.

sorry dude. i know where a blue s13 silvia is if your interested. ca18e/auto has hail damage but for $1100 could make it into something good, has hicas, sunroof, original mags, same colour as mine. hail damage has effected bonnet boot, top of doors. windscreen. but for track car, cheap cheap body. i almost bought it last week, just to put back on ebay and make a few hundred easy dollars.

gonna wait abit and see if i buy back the wreck first. thanks anyway :)

Damn I didn't get here in time :( This will be the first DECA I haven't raced in since I first started :wub:

Oh well I'll still come up. I can Marshall on the mini wang if you guys like?

Bad luck mate, what broke?

I will take you off the list and bring on the first reserve. All pull outs will be refunded after the event.

Not sure mate. Front of the head is knocking; i'm thinking a lifter, valve spring seat, etc.

Going to also pull the oil restrictors out the block. The combination of N1 pump and 1.5mm oil restrictors is not working for my engine, the head has always been noisy on idle, since the rebuild. Also going to do a couple of other small tweaks; i'm useless, just can't help myself :banana:.

Its not the VCT clicking...?

RB20's don't have that do they? :D

Hey Leon.

I went moto riding with Andy on the weekend. He told me you bought his car. Are you bringing that to DECA? See if it can handle more than 1 run?

damm i haven't seen a rb25 do a lifter or a valve spring seat. Does it still run smooth ? i.e not misfire or huge unusual lump in the engine cycle.

RB20's don't have that do they? :)

is this how you humour yourself ? rb20's don't have vct, or a bullshit oil feed going to the front of the head

oh and for the rb20 bashers, look at who won deca last time.

RB20's eat dick russell you know that :P

Campbell

When your RB25 pos beats me then I'll listen to what you have to say :) Actually if it ever makes it to Deca I will!

oh and for the rb20 bashers, look at who won deca last time.

"cough" the results where rigged "cough"

hahahaha gazelle d's breath smells like Russell's dick

Campbell

Not a problem. List updated. Tim or campbell make youselves useful and tell Dean he is in for deca and to pay up :blink: cheers.

    • 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
