ok im going to map out the syd meets for you guys. we have mcgrath maccas for half the cruise thornleigh for the full cruise

do we need cabra car wash also? if so someone give me the address by tonight and ill addthat too.

ill give yiu meet and leave times to meet up with us.

Sydney People:

Thornleigh looks like the way to go because it's close to the F3 and there's still a bit of cruising upto the Newcastle meeting point to do, also a BP station is just round the corner.

Meeting Point: MacDonald's Overflow Car park. Would be best as it's out of the way from rest of the plebs getting in the way of their bacon and egg muffins. If the carpark is full just park out on the street.

When: Arrive 7:30am - Leave 8:00-8:15am

Route: Leave car park and follow up Pennant Hills Rd, then turn right onto the Newcastle Freeway. Remember to stay in the far right lane up Pennant Hills Rd so you won't miss the turnoff. We'll meet others at Freemans Waterhole by 9am.

Wasn't planning to have a meet point at Cabra, was just gauging interest of the people around the area who wanted to meet up before cruising together up to the Sydney meet point which looks like to be Thornleigh Maccas

Sydney meet points look here!!!!

Please get to the 2 main meet points with a full tank of fuel and don't rock up at the leave time. The times are set for everyone to be on time and no one wants to be waiting for anyone so stay on time. It'll just dig into the pub time at the end of the day :D

Everything should run smoothly, if you get to a meet point like cabra wash and no one turns up before the leave time just leave, even if someone tells you there coming.

My phone number is 0421551710 just incase someone gets lost.

    • 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
