LOL sliders are serious bussiness syfon :thumbsup:

Yeah I do wear protective gear, I was foolish enough to take it for a ride in my boxer shorts the day I got it, rolled it over n scrapped up my shoulder lol.

At the moment I am riding the slider at belmont skate park, it's quite fun riding up the half pipe and sliding..

Skyrian- you want a ride then come down :rolleyes: ... I get asked all the time by randoms if they can have a turn. I warn you tho its extremely addicitve fun.

dude, its not one way, and ergo probably way dangerous, but there is a fav road of mine in the back of Kelmscott, that I have ofetn thought would be completely mad fun to do this with a slider (I am too old, and ergo too cowardly to actually try this)

the map doesnt show anywhere near how twisty this mofo really is.

Also try checking out Crystal Brook Road from the Welshpool Rd East end. :thumbsup:

Cheers for the linky stinky rooster, I will have to check out the road soon. Should come for a slide bud, skin grows back and bones can heal :)

Zig zag is one way, but sometimes idiots drive up it the wrong way tho. I caint think of any where safer to go.

It reads as a funny story now, but wasnt so funny at the time lol, actually hurt quite a bit going flying accross the gravel. Haven't had a stack like that since I was about 10.......

The huffy slider actually got discontined from retail shops because it was to dangerous, to many children getting hurt... Defantely not a childs toy LOL... Come have a ride rowan lol.

Do you still do Kmax? I might come down tommorow night and give it a go.

Have you ever actually been to the zigzag?!? Also, going to Crystal Brook Road is likely to get yourself on the ear end of me driving home making 'gate sounds to amuse people.

..... So nobody has commented on the hilarity of a grown man riding a kids trike in his underpants in public??

... Then FALLING OUT of his kids tricycle??? IN HIS UNDERPANTS???

H'aint nothing funny about being downright sexy in public my friend.

Keep the sugestions coming people.. I would be willing to head out into the country side for that dream road... I was thinking the road where peter brock died has some pretty good downhill road.

Timothy I wouldnt even your lil wastegate over the roaring power of huffy slider. :) :)

UNLEASH THE BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh wow that's actually a good idea... just make sure it's the one way ones... like his majesty's..

because roe street is two way and all the "baller" vietnamese guys like to hammer their NA silvias through it...

...cool man?

also the other benefit is, there's a lift to the top floor... so you don't have to ride your hard to ride action bike all the way up there!

Nar dont want a real go-kart, I am content with my slider. It really is a lot of fun.

Erik what is this "panda" you speak of? Post vids/pics...

Rowan- I know of 1 of the muli story car parks is 1 way. I think its on the right of roe if your heading towards the river .

Anyone gotta a spare camera? Gotta film this tokyo drift shit.

This guy has the rite idea.

    • 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?
