Hey guys, I have just been given a little bit of info from work regarding a show n shine that we are allowed to put together in the car park outside work. I have to appologise for not having a massive amount of info at this stage, but if we can generate some interest I will be able to post more as soon as possible.

There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. They will be store stock valued at approx $200, $100, and $50 respectively. The exact items have not yet been selected however, and I will post what they are when I know.

The club will also have permission to run a bbq and either keep all proceeds or I thought donating to a chosen charity would be a good idea. Much like the annual charity cruise.

If a mod would be able to contact me to organise a bbq and sort out any other details that would be fantastic.

Email is [email protected], or just inbox me.

The club will also be advertised on the repco website along with other clubs participating at other stores.

There will also be discounts for anyone who is a repco VIP member. You can join from the website (www.repco.com.au)

Thanks guys, any questions just throw them up and Ill see if I can sort it out!

Thanks for the info mate. Does sound interesting.

Funny thing is, not everyone can sign up to be a Repco VIP Member. The Repco VIP Club is invitation only and exclusive to Car Club members. Repco VIPs can enjoy members-only discounts and offers at our stores.

However, SAU QLD is an approved club and our members can sign up ;).

I'll raise this at the Monthly Meet tomorrow and see what sort of interest is generated.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to PM or Email me.

Thanks,

Tony

Thanks Tony, that would be great.

I'm actually pretty clueless about the VIP membership, I just had a quick read about it earlier and did notice that it was for car club members only. However I didn't realise the club had to be recognised.

Cheers,

Jason.

Yup. Very much so. Had a bit of too-ing and fro-ing with them and managed to get recognised.

Speaking of Show and Shines, we are organising the annual Charity Cruise which we expect about 100-150 Skylines to attend. Maybe you can get some of the guys from up north to attend? ;)

Ok guys, really need to get some interest in this I'm getting grilled from work haha. Prizes are being picked out, just need some cars to turn up! They don't have to be skylines, anything and anyone is welcome. It will start from about 9am and go until about lunchtime. Once again I will look after anyone that comes along with anything they might buy from the store as well.

Post up if you are interested!

      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.
