less cars this time = more track time

and yup once again no bs just drift your arse off... diffrence is were are hoping for a bit more of a crowd to cheer on the drifters and the burnouts

and every driver loves a crowd= more action cause everyone is trying to show off

I recon we can make a competition out of this...

Fatz Drift Battle BBQ Burnout World Record Attempt!!

Totally second hand information. But apparently last night on guiness records. Some aussie guy broke the record for most revolutions in a burnout. 54 revolutions.

Amazingly he had to stop as his car overheated. It was a 2nd gear 4000rpm burnout.

Now i recon someone could get pretty close to that mark... So i recon we should be promoting a unofficial burnout world record attempt for all the burnout competition contestants on the day:)

hmmm, maybe we should prepare my 31 purely for the world record attempt. put on some bit fans to keep it cool, put some water in the radiator, put some oil in the motor then let rip. surely an RB30 could handle 55 revolutions?

question is who will sponsor this world record attempt?

yep found this:

Most Consecutive Donuts

Burnout champion RJ Bruno managed to set a new Guinness World Record benchmark when he did 64 donuts (360°revolutions of the car) in his hotted up Gemini at Queensland Raceway, before the car’s smoking motor packed it in.

I still think we need sponsorship. i mean who will pick up the tab at the pub afterwards. i heard those guiness record people are tight.

i am keen as!!

i am keen to give it a shot. just need a stock r31. 1st gear all the way.

my silhouette when stock did 3mins45seconds in a burnout in 1st gear at eastern creek burnout pad.

if i can get another 31 to last that long i reckon if u average just over 3 seconds per donut

i am keen!!

mate, I have a stock 31. I reckon we should collect some sponsorship, then make it burnout worthy, then ring GWC and sell them on the idea.

don't forget they have to be consecutive so you can stop and spin it back the other way, must keep going in one direction. it will be pretty hard, but with some practice i'm sure we can make it happen.

haha, up yours mark!

people in glass houses.... I seem to remember your car didn't make it out of the pit exit last time we were at the track.

but yes, you are right it needs a little love. (and possibly new dizzy).

    • 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.
