Also is the guy in the silver Stagea&Evo on here? Think we lost you at the first meet point :(

Yeah mate, that's me with the Stagea & Evo...... did the boots as I noticed a few dangerous manoeuvres with the whole fleet slamming their anchors on in a 100 zone and a few tailgaters in the fleet....

I'll be at the next one for sure...

Yeah both he same owner. He said he left to come back with a more appropiate car. Must like silver cars :D

Silver is easy maintenance, looks good from far but far from good! when dirty!

The Evo is silver, the Stagea is Champagne.

Good turn out at Bunnings, looking forward to next cruise.

Hmmmm....descisions on which car to bring. I think if the NUR's turn up, it is only appropriate to bring the Evo.

well then i have nfi what it was.. but if its not a skyline/nissan/similar i dont pay much attn lol

Ohhhh C'mon! Don't be racist! You gotta hate everyone equally!

I still love my Nissan's, especially Skylines BUT sometimes you just have to try something different!

Why hello there :action-smiley-069:

I guess things were a bit slow and stop starting because I told the lead car to go slow until the traffic cleared up a bit. After the 1st meet point at a petrol station, there was no more traffic lights so we no longer had any problems.

I just didn't want to lose anybody on the cruise so early on. But for as for the dangerous moves and tailgaters, I didn’t notice that because I was at the back of the pack, but hope no one was being too silly :(

Tony, maybe should have told us all just to meet at the petrol station so we don't have to stop at Thompson Rd exit. And cause all this pulling over all over the freeway.

Confused the hell out of me a bit. Would be easier just to go through.

Not saying it's shit, just something to keep in mind for future.

Yeah, we were planning to stop off at Baxster but wasn't sure where yet. Just that other cars were planning to meet us half way :/

Don't worry the next one will be better planned. I've learnt a few things from the other night!

Oh well, once the pitstop was over at the petrol station I'm sure everyone had a blast :)

It is hard to organise with multiple sets of light in between where people can get stuck.

But more visual direction would help next time.

Bunnings meet point, springvale and chelt rd

United Servo second meet point, moorooduc hwy after the KFC/Subway

etc etc but considering everything went down real well.

So did we find out who that Blue Commodore wagon was that was tailing us from bunnings carpark to the servo (and stopped outside it until we all left)?

Some nuffy that envys the imports but hasn't found the brains to go out and get one......

    • 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
