G'day all,

Just writing in regards to the cruise up to Terrigal this sunday in memory of the victims of the horrific crash on Monday. I have been informed that the patrols from Terrigal and Gosford have been notified and understand the reason for the cruise, they appreciate us telling them about it and will be watching the convoy so needless to say that we need to be on good behaviour. Also there has been talk of the press being present to report the event and provide some positive exposure.

Out of respect to the victims and their families we need this to be an incident free excursion.

:headspin: :) :headspin:

oh ok....

Just found this too...

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=56888

goulash, It is a terrible thing that has happened and nobody has said anything directly about the the car being more important. I have been here for a little while now and am yet to meet anybody who would prioritise a car over a life....

Lots of people on this forum have expressed their sorrow for the victims and their family and friends. This event is another way for members to express their sorrow and to show that they actually do care.

would any of you guys care if it wasnt a beefed up r34?

your either a moron, or quite intelligent and have something to say.

I will assume the latter. I wont be in attendance on sunday for personal reasons. I think its very sad that people lost their lives, I really do and my strongest condolences goes out to the family and friends of the deceased.

The link with this forum was that it was a skyline owner who died. Sure the fact that it was such a well known car will add to the hysteria, but at the end of the day people lost their lives and that should be peoples reason for attendance (or not as the case may be)..

I think what happened the other day was horrific, and was a stupid waste of life. I dont want any of you mofos pulling the "we have all done stupid stuff" comments here either. I know we all have, but there is a difference between a short blat in the middle of nowhere by your self and doing in excess of 170 with three passengers in a car you have barely driven before on a small public road.

Mourn the loss of the lives, mourn the fact that people still have no respect for their own lives, the lives of others and the cars they are driving.

The reason the accident attracted so much attention on this forum was because, quite obviously it was not only a skyline involved, but many of us know/have met the cars owner and the driver that lost his life, leaving most saddened and shocked and what happened.

You have a seriously warped attitude to think that people only give two hoots about the car - who the hell cares? Its only a car, which can never ever be compared to the loss of someones life.

I suggest you either loose the attitude, or GTFO -------------------------------->

      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.
