As most of you are aware the Government is looking into new ways in which they can help save lives on our roads... ASM has written an Article relating to this issue and are asking all people to forward on a small cut out from their magazine (photo copied or cut-out) and send it off to the reply paid address for the "Improving Safety for Young Drivers" which goes to the "Minister of Roads"... If you don’t have a copy of this current ASM i will be posting the cut out in the next couple of days (finding a scanner) or if anyone else could post it in the mean time, please print it out and send it off I believe this article will prevent a massive knee jerk reaction from the government on imported drivers and it will also aid in helping keep our streets safe and teach our L/P Plate drivers to be safe, mature and responsible on our roads....

Foznice good point... it was a really long and detailed article going into the accident that have been occurring on our roads with Young Drivers and that high powered cars were the problem we all know the story.. and how the media has influenced the public into basically being against us... they believe that it's not the car or the age of our drivers or even a video game influence that makes any driver go fast or do anything stupid on our roads... They are saying that it's all down to education of all drivers on our roads that is the problem and that not even restrictions on young drivers is necessarily the answer... I will try and post up the article ASAP for people to read but in the mean time pop into a newsagent and have a read or even buy it if you get a chance...

I just read the article (i dont do alot at work). It is well written and presented puts forward alot of the issues that are discussed in this forum such as driver training etc. I will be defenately(spelling) sending the reply to Mr Scully and hopfully it may change his mind on a few of the ideas that are being put forward. I sure this topic has been discussed a lot so i will leave it at 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.
