There are 3 main threads that mention R34 or are directed toward R34's

some threads... Actually it's 3% of recent threads...

leave it at that

And I agree for once Matt :D

Back on topic now: I would still love for a meet of some description to take place. Clinton I already have Firefrog's mobile and AFRO has kindly provided his, perhaps we can make a few calls between us (and anyone else interested) and sort something out in advance. Like I said before I'm still waiting for my GTT to arrive but in a fortnight or so I should have it.

BTW thanks firefrog for the 'passenger' invite earlier, I might have to take you up on that offer if I'm still waiting ;)

Count me in guys!! I think this is my firstpost ever since i registered couple years ago but I take delivery of my 34 tommorow!!!!!!!!!!!! Will keep you guys posted!

Cheers

OK we have quite a list now! This is sounding better and better by the moment :D

Not to put a damper on non-R34 owners but this is the master list of those Brissy R34 Owners who are interested in doing a met up every so often. (other liners or forum members are obviously welcome at any time)

So far we have:  

Clinton

Myth33

Firefrog

666Dan

Pear(waiting for the 34 like me ;) )

Afro

R34GTX

CYA_34

Think of the photo oportunities with this lot, gets me very excited!

If we can all agree on the best way to organise this, that would be great. Mobile numbers are great but not everyone may want to provide them online etc?

Otherwise I had an Idea that involved creating a new post with all of these details, get it 'STICKY' by the SAU mods under the 'Queensland' thread and from there we can keep track of meets and post meet discusions in that thread.  

Using the one thread it would be best if we plan meets fortnightly or monthly. Everyone should have sufficient time to get their cars and themselves organised that way :D . What does everyone think? VOTE now or forever hold your peace!

Can we make the cruise in about two weeks time cause I should have my 34 then also? If not I look forward too catching up with you all on the following trip!!

I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone. It's been one of the hardest things about owning the 34 is the amount of differences from the other models and that's made it all that much harder to do mods. Finding the info or finding someone with the info has been harder. So I think that this is great for all the Skyline owners not only to embrace all things skyline but to share the knowlage and appreciate the differences too.

PM me so I can pss on my Mob.

Cheers

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
