Ok just to get EVERYONE on the same page ( I have already spoken to a few members) in regards to discussion about SAU affiliation, stickers/merchandise, branding etc its something I've already looked into previously and looking into again for the benefit of the Tasmanian SAU community.

Now like everything there are advantages and disadvantages in doing any of the above and anything that is done needs to be done within the guidelines of the forums and/or club guidelines and done once and officially.

This being said Im waiting on confirmation if Tasmania are able to run with SAU affiliation as a club without having to be CAMS affiliated and if so what guidelines would be in place (as Western Australia do) and what we are/aren't able to pursue as a club.

I will add more to this topic later and really interested in what everyone has to say but until we have conformation of what we can do, I ask all members to stop with the threads/posts regarding all items mentioned above.

Cheers Ben

/Admin hat on

If Christian (Prank) was contacted via PM about this he wouldn't have seen/read it. I emailed him direct, Christian gives a big YES.

SAU has no issue with you blokes forming a club, using the SAU logo if you want to incorporate it into a SAU-TAS type of logo/sticker/branding etc etc.

If you need anything moving forward please contact myself directly. Christian is happy to let me run/help you guys with anything you need from the SAU side. He doesn't need to be involved unless i see reason.

I rarely check the TAS section but if you need me, just PM me a link to the thread and i'll do my best to 'read up' when i get a spare few mins.

Good luck :cheers:

Basically nothing happened after the stickers as pretty soon after the community went quiet, I haven't seen anyone post for a fair while. I'm back in Tasmania now though, would be great to see this kick off again!

Is anything happening with this? 

Also if we want to join a CAMS club so I can do local practice days etc, should I join SAU Vic or NSW? Or just join a random local club? I'd rather just be in SAU and nothing else (via the above-mentioned SAU Tas stickers + a formal membership in SAU VIC/NSW for CAMS reasons).

      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.
