Thanks to all. Was definately another great night.congrats to our winners the Sexy Kittens and their leader Miss Lush. To our second team, my deepest condolences (a prolonged and painfull death) of which I was a part of.

C U all on Sunday and remember Drive responsibly.

Alcohol is a tool of the devil ...

Richard is a tool when deciding fit to drive home last night. Nearly meet Devil in person!!!

Skid marks not left on road, found this morning tho. Now in laundry basket.

I hope I have taught a visualy valuble lesson. I certainly learned one.

PS. Wings on Skylines are not designed for flying.

Richard - I read in "Spotted" a brief mention of your accident and have come searching here for more details! Its really scary to think about what can happen (EVLR34)... Im glad your ok and I hope one of Australias sexiest GTR's is going to be alright???

As I lie here in casualty typing with the toes off my remaining leg.

Nahhhh!!!. All is good with me and my ride as far as I can tell but will get Ed and Chris down at inline to double check with me. Bodywork appears fine.

I understand from Andrew it was most spectacular.

He will need to post the details as I couldnt see from the ****pit.

I do remember snapping back a gear exiting the roundabout ,loosing it, getting airborne (twice i think) and spinning round before comming to a stop on the otherside of the medium strip. Then left in a hurry. Andrew?

i agree with nick, if you want to know the details either pm me or ask me on sunday, i have photos of the aftermath.

but for the record heres what happened..........we enjoyed a splendid evening of refreshing beverages and jolly banter and some delightfull company, after the barmaster had decided that the time had come to close for the evening he suggested that perhaps it was a good time to part company for the evening, we happily agreed and exited the delightfull establishment singing christmas carols as we were heading to the local orphanage to pass out gifts to the children, Richard was the first to depart, he left in a calm and orderly manner while we stood chatting about the wonderfull evening that we had just enjoyed, he then turned through the round about going at a slow pace so as not to take any risks that may involve damage to his lovely vehicle that could include the nescessary revulcanising of his airfilled transport wheels. he then slowly proceeded up the road all the while whistling a happy tune, and he then dissapeared over the hill and on his merry way.......................thats my story and im sticking with it!

    • 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
