Hi all,

For our August meet, we will be having Sunday Meet & Greet lunch at Millone's Grill. SAU:NSW is very fortunate to have Cameron (CHO50N), the owner of Millone's Grill, to invite the club to host our next meet at his restaurant. The club would like to extend thanks to him.

Details of the day are as follows:

Date: Sunday,16th August, 2015.

Time: 11am-3pm

Location: 11/16 Groves Avenue, McGraths Hill NSW 2756 (Click here for google map link)

Parking: Millone's Grill has a carpark capable of accomodating close to 200 cars & has entry and exit driveways accessible by lowered cars via the McDonalds entrance on Groves Ave. Please note that one of the carparks (the one on the left in the pic below) has been dug up recently & its not suitable for our cars at all. While it will be obvious when you arrive at the venue, this is just a cautionary FYI.

Menu & Pricing: SAU:NSW members have a special set menu prepared by Millone's Grill for the day at a discounted price of $35/head. Please see attached menu for details.

Meet & Greet: Due to the large carpark allocation & the nature of this meet, we would like to urge all attendees to bring out their pride & joy for this event. We want to bring back the atmosphere of a casual Sunday show n shine with hopes that everyone will have the cars as a conversation starter to this event.

Looking forward to seeing you all there. If there are any questions, please feel free to comment them or you can PM myself or any of the execs directly.

This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit.

One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads, we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general.

When attending a Skylines Australia NSW event, please try to:

  • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly.
  • Drive courteously on the state's roads as a true enthusiast should.
  • Understand how import is it to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly.
  • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.

Cheers.

Any cars at all are more then welcome mate,

I hope to get my R32 GTR out that's been in storage for a fair while. She needs a drive and hopefully will see the road more often, Will also get my Show car EVO out there and hopefully a R35.

Will be great to have a carpark full of skylines and hopefully some great shots on the day!

Look forward to meeting everyone.

    • 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.
