Thats fine.. I just didnt think it would be easy to organise so many people.

Done. When a date is locked in (and the route we'll be taking), I can edit the first post to add those too.

We had a cruise with about 20 of us about 18 months ago, it was great.

This also... also need a nice spot for photos whos a photographer?

I wouldn't say I'm a photographer but I take the odd good photo with my DSLR :P (but sorry I don't take photo's of the ghey 10" wide rims)

and Craig as much as we want to get it done asap sh*t gets in the way and screws up plans. (Aaron's situation) Fricken spewin we couldn't get there this past weekend first we were all set to come Saturday then that went pear shaped and was told Sunday would be alright next thing I know its shit canned aswell, I wasn't impressed don't you worry!!!

***cough***

Putty road or Central Coast.

PS.....I'm not going unless I haz my new bar on!

I know what you mean..

fuarrkk lol just kidding this will be fun..

I would like my new exhaust to be here though before this happens, cant be cruising in a stock car with all these other weapons around.

Guys just keep in mind for us from south Syd. It would only be fair if you run accross south-north or north south with meeting points along the way and not just north-north please!

Also we should keep it as morning start so gives us enough time to finish early arvo.

Just a thought.

Well I live in the Blue Mountains, and neither end of this will be close to me; it can't really be helped. You can't please everyone, because we all live in different places.

You want to organise one closer to you; put forward your proposed route, and see if it gets up.

No point grizzling about the distance.

Agreed. and if you really want you could arrange your own southern meet up and all drive to lanecove.

Start at Penriff, over the mountains, out to Oberon via Jenolan & Shooters Hill then back down Bells Line.

No good for a weekend, but very nice midweek. ;)

    • 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
