What a great day on Saturday, a parking lot full of Skylines, a belly full of good food and surrounded by great company.

Thank you to the organisers and thanks for having me!

Some of the pics that Alex took are below with more in a gallery album. I'll add the presentation pics soon.

Every one of these cars was of such a high standard, it must have been difficult for you Christian, and Adrian (Performance Garage), and Ciaron (SAU Prez) to decide on Award Winners!

So Congratulations on every single car and owner here!

Well done to everyone who attended, and especially the lovely ladys braving the cold and wearing nice uniforms :P I didnt make it but from what i can see was a great day out :)

Thanks to the execs for putting this together, it was an awesome day, wicked cars, great food, great company, beautiful ladies and the weather held out. Couldn't have asked for a better day

A big thanks to Eric who, with last minute notice, ran around like a mad man organising the video shoot

Just re posting the links to the videos floating around.

There was a lot of sexy looking machines to look at.

Damien, I'm really bummed that I didn't get more images of your car. Particularly the rear diffuser.

Its all good mate. Im sure it was hard trying to decide on which cars to photograph considering the calibre of the cars that turned up.

Truly amazing owners and organisers

Pictures are a pleasure to see

regret having missed this event

Was a pitty you couldnt make it Richo. Would have been good to see you there.

Its all good mate. Im sure it was hard trying to decide on which cars to photograph considering the calibre of the cars that turned up.

It was more the fact that I had my three year old tagging along with me and I had limited opportunities to shoot the cars without distractions ; )

This thread will gain resurgence when Performance Imports and Performance Garage magazines come out in a few months.

Accolades go to all you guys! After all, we've had feedback from our Mexican friends that they wished they could run something similar down there.

*oops did I say something wrong? I could be dismissed from the Exec for printing that!

    • 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.
