Ok guys wanted to send out an invite to all the sensible skyline owners who would like to join a meet/dinner at Deago’s this Wednesday the 10th of April the address is 44 Bryants rd Loganholme. It’s going to be and has been a regular event for guys and gals to come together and talk crap and swap ideas and of course admire each other’s cars.

I’m posting this in the hope of getting a few good numbers as we are at 10 to 15 cars now but have room for more, so if you don’t own an import but have a bike or something feel free as long as it has some WOW factor and as long as you understand that the only way this works is if we control the right foot on and off the streets entering and exiting the car park and show respect to all other patrons of the unit complex so no skids or racing or drifting. Once you leave the area we don’t care what you do just not around us please (We don’t want this to be like downshift). There are several video cameras as well as all of the other guys and gals there who WILL send your details to the local cop shop and you will be named and shamed on the internet.....

Now the good news is the dinner at Deago’s is Mexican and most meals can be had for around $20 we are regulars. There is a bar open but please DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE soft drink is on offer at normal prices.

Times will be 6pm if you plan to eat or 8pm if you just want to look at the cars on offer.

Please write up if you would like to eat with us, so I can let the owner know the numbers of seats to hold, you have the option of eating on your own table i.e. with your family but if thats the case you will need to contact them to make a booking or you can eat with us at a bigger table, it’s all up to you just let me know.

I myself will be there in my Grey R33 Gtst at 6pm and would love to meet you guys so please come say hello to another skyline owner. This is as stated a meet for all car lovers alike

Hi Chris,

Excellent initiative mate. Love the effort that you're putting in.

We tend to have dinners on a weekly basis (usually in a more central area).

Due to the Toowoomba cruise, there hasn't been one this week or last week.

Should be able to make it out tomorrow night with a few guys.

Cheers,

Thanks mate, the only reason I ask is I've seen a lot of skylines towards the Logan hypo area and thought it would be a good way to get to know some other skyline or car lovers, we will have about 15 to 20 cars making the trip at this stage but the more the better.... ;)

We had a really good time, about 10 cars of different types a Honda jazz with 180kw turbo engine was a stand out and the TRD import corolla with 6k audio gear was good too. What's this German club? Where is 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.
