Couldnt help but notice this line:

"*Due to some LAC police attention on an unofficial cruise a while back down the same road, any 'suspect' (read modified) cars should tuck themselves somewhere between 3rd and 3rd-last in the convoy."

Exactly how much po-po are we anticipating guys? The car isnt very suspect but its far from undefectable lol :whistling:

It's just as a precaution.. we have never had an official cruise meet police trouble but there has been 1 or 2 instances where cars were pulled over a little while after a cruise, no more random than if u were out driving yourself on a weekend

Hmmmmm this talk of the fuzz being around is kinda scaring me! Ive been genuinely looking forward to this for a while now i even got my old man gee'd up to come to this its actually gunna be our first ride with our 2 cars together as well as our 1st SAU cruise participation hope they give us a break

Guys I have been on sooooo many cruises and the chances of your car being pulled over would be about 0.5%...

Unless there are dickheads doing stupid shit which attracts attention. But with the skyline cruises we are normally not bothered so don't worry and think ur going to get pulled up...

Everyone this is going to be a nice cruise to Wisemans and the weather is meant to be beautiful on Sunday.

For the Richo boys meeting at the base carpark....I won't be there due to work commitments (:rant: ), but you guys can still meet there and go from there :D

Are u going to be at the cruise at all???

Or just won't be meeting up in Richmond?

As mentioned, SAU has not had issues with official cruises before. Even non-official ones that have been organised by SAU people are relaxed, sensible days out. It's why we organise other events off public roads such as the Texi's throughout the year and trackdays at Wakefield Park, etc, so that if anyone feels like doing any benchmark testing of their vehicle it's done there, not on a public road.

No word of a lie, if someone in the group turns up and insists on behaving like a loon and drives outside the scope of the law we will have no hesitation in separating ourselves from said person. They are no longer part of the SAU group and will take responsibility for their own driving behaviour.

It'll be a great day, looking forward to 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.
