Steve has done some homework for us (much appreciated it is Steve for making the phone calls)

So 1stly, does anyone have a copy of the GTR going around Bathurst at all?

To possibly show at MAS with the car ?

2ndly, - this is steves bit and im just relaying the words

Channel 7 have said that it is not upto them if we display it.

It is upto the distributor of the DVD itself.

So, if anyone has footage of the race.

Please put your hand in the air :wavey: and let us know.

Then one of us will contact the distributor to find out if we can show it or not.

It would be great to have footage of the car i think.

I have a VHS of the 1992 race where Richards called the crowd "a pack of assholes". Maybe capture it if that's the best we can find. DVD would obviously be much better.

HEHE I remember watching that live.

We gotta have richards calling the holden and ford supports assholes on repeat.

probably one of the 15 threads that have been in this section in the past 2 weks would be a good idea :)

If they aint on page one, they will be on page two/three.

anyhow, Shan, we just need top contact the distributor of the DVD.

why convert it to DIVX though?

just run the DVD as it is, provided we get approval

Do you ever read the ORIGIANL POST? :slap:

it's got nothing to do with Channel 7. It's all to do with the distributors now.

Read my post. Steve called Channel 7 etc

ok so does someone have a copy of the dvd or de we need to buy it?  

ash i think he was saying convert it to divx as preview so we can be sure its the right one etc, is that right??

As shan posted... he has got it.

I've got the DVD containing highlights of bathurst races from 1989 to 1992. Has clips of the GTR and the R31 GTS-R etc.

So he has it... in DVD

NFI where the DivX comes into it. More work for himself :)

Just call the distributor. Get thier approval, and we use it :)

nice and easy i think.

Errr u c0cksmoker.... What I asked was, have you approached channel 7 about aquiring the footage directly from them, or have they sold the distribution rights to a specific company, therefore they cannot release it direct to the public?

And yes I do have the DVD. Will bring it next meeting and you can all review it.

      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.
