Hey everybody

For sure i'll be coming on sunday. Cant wait. I've had the worst week. Last saturday my r33 was vandilised, nothing much just some punks trying to get into my petrol cap and boot. Then on tuesday some moron in a white hyundai sonata made a left hand turn from the right hand lane, and turned right into me. The damage aint to bad, but as you guys would know, any damage on your car is to much. Its all good though cause he is giving me cash to repair it. $4500 to be exact. Just have to be patient then my baby will be all good... Sigh...

that f*cking sucks man. My cars been broken into b4 aswell, they did a nice job on my door....$1200 to fix (new door + painted). You were unlucky with that knob smashing into you, keep on the guy and make sure you get ur fkn cash. Speaking of accidents a few weeks ago going to work, driving down springvale rd towards the eastern fwy. I'm driving along at 70 (speed limit is 80), there was a bit of traffic. I come over this hill (which is a bit of a blind hill, if you are driving along at 80 and you drive up the hill and just as you get over the crest all of a sudden you see down the hill and there were all these cars banked up), and there are heaps of cars banked up, i had to apply some firmish braking - nothing to make the wheels screetch but firm. While braking i look into my rear view just to make sure no1 was up my arse. all clear. 10 seconds later i hear wheels screetching....shit...i look into my rear view, i see some bitch in a little hyundai who flew over the hill, braked hard obiviously and was coming skidding towards my car. I look infront, no room to move. I look back into the rear view, and something miraculous happened. This bitch was about 10 metres from going right up my arse and another car comes smashing up her arse, knocking her at a right angle into the next lane and onto oncoming traffic in the next lane. BANG! the hyundai got T-boned by a car in the other lane, the hyundai ending up on the grass embankment. Obiviously the car that was going ot rear end me was skidding and she locked up the wheels, she must of tried to turn and it did nothing, but when she got rear ended by the other car it knocked her at a right angle narrowly avoiding my rear end. F*CK!!!! I thought. It wasn't over yet. The other chick that had come to my aid my rear ending the other bitch in the hyundai and putting her onto the embankment was now heading straight into my rear end! The front of the car was all f*cked up and smashed. I thought shit shit..i look infront, the traffic just started to move so i dropped the **** outta the clutch and launched it. I take another look in the rear view, looking at the carnage. 1 car on the grass embankment, and another 2 cars messed up. All the traffic at the top of the hill is just stopped. Luckily not being involved in the accident, and late for work, i drive off. F*cking hyundai drivers, 1 hyundai driver = 3 smashed cars.

yeah man that really sucks... hope he pays up tho.. the dude who ran into me said he'd pay on the night then when i tried to get $1000 outta him he was being a dodgy person that he is... told me all this crap about some panel beater

Hey everybody

For sure i'll be coming on sunday. Cant wait. I've had the worst week. Last saturday my r33 was vandilised, nothing much just some punks trying to get into my petrol cap and boot. Then on tuesday some moron in a white hyundai sonata made a left hand turn from the right hand lane, and turned right into me.

DONT TRUST THEM

I have seen 2 friends burnt with guys that said exactly that, or "Mate I know a panel beater that will do it cheap"

F*** that, call your insurance company and tell them what happened...

why do you pay all that money??? they are there to help you. They will make money out of this guy, so they will be glad to help you.

Twice I got hit, and both times called them immediately. After explaining situation, they told me to go fix my car, and they chased the other guys for money.

there is a 99.9% chance this guy wll turn around after 2 months of chasing him and say - what are you talking about mate??? I never hit you!!!

Then you will be left with the bill.

Of course that is the worst case scenario, but it is very likely, and as i said, i have seen it happen twice!

if you have insurance report the guys name and address and let them chase him up...

a guy who hit my car while it was parked said he would pay, but when i got the quote he said he would take my car to his "mate's mate who is a really good panel beater" intead of handing me the cash....

i got my insurance to fix my car, and chase the guy instead.

    • 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?
