hope 2 c u crusing more often...as of tomm every1 will c my car with my new plates "VANGE" lol

get it through regency yet? any probs?

yeah took it down last week and got through, went with my dad and had him do all the talking but obviously they knew the car was mine, they did pick up on the window tint being far too dark however they let that one slide and just suggested that i have it rectified, apart from that they didnt pick up on anything else and i only bothered to take the turbo timer out so i was rather happy!

Can someone point out to me what the point is of letting everyone know where in Adelaide nice cars frequent, and are generally located?

If i owned a nice r34GTR (or just my 32) and had people saying "saw it here" or i see it all the time here...wouldnt that make your car more of a target for thieves / police ??

I just dont see the sense in saying where u saw x car at y.

Dont wanna sound like a pri(k, just dont put up where you saw, or think you saw me or my car driving/hanging around etc....

Feel free for everyone else though....

I think you guys MASSIVELY underestimate car thieves. They already know where we all live (as it's not at all hard in a smal town like Adelaide to find out owners names etc), and before raiding or stealing one of our cars, they case it all out to the nth degree. If you think otherwise, you are kidding yourself. People posting on here 'I saw this car on Greenhill Rd' isn't really going to cause cars thieves to 'lick their lips' now, is it?

i agree

they keep tabs on cars, where they park at nite, when the ower goes 2 sleep, their routine etc....

thats it, i try to generalise as much as i possibly can if i post that i have seen someone or their car. as long as adresses or number plates arent noted, i cant see the harm.

I have,

i spotted you sun afternoon (when i was returning from svd xmass barbie) you were just coming past adelaide children's hospital as i was going up the hill in opp direction!

    • 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.
