oh god Ferni tell us its not so!

I hope to make it down for a squizz at everyones shiny beasts... hey Al is your car going to be there? I am keen to see the colour in the flesh...

I have to go to the Monster truck thing at Flinders Park first... how the hell there going to do that in the tennis centre I don't know.... jump 2 cars, turn around, come back...?

My car is back in the w/shop :)

Nothing broken, just a few improvements :P

Should be all over by 5pm - but we'll try and do vote tallys and trophy presentation about 3.30pm.

Also - from BOM website:

Tonight and Sunday

A brief morning shower or two possible, otherwise fine. Lengthy sunny periods

developing with moderate to locally fresh northwest wind. Top of 21

Also...

It will be easier for everyone (yourselves and other traffic) if you can come along the 'out bound' lane of Swan St (ie: with the park on your left). This way you wont have to delay trams and traffic by turning right to enter the driveway.

Not critical - just a handy tip.

F***in ****!

Wednesday: 180 billowing smoke.. needs turbo swapped

Saturday night 12am: 32 splits coolant hose on freeway exit

Saturday night 12:02am: Legendary 'Ed' restores our faith in commodore drivers and not only tows us home but helps push car up arsehole driveway.

3 out of 3 off the road. :~(

Anyone with a spare 32 radiator top hose.. feel free to drop it off in the morning for free beer (after you drive us to the shops to get beer??!)..

Well depending on outcome of above, don't be surprised if we aren't at the bbq.. again! :P

Great showing of numbers and sensational effort by the organisers. Was great to catch up and check out the rides.

Special thanks to all those who made a spectacle of themselves leaving the venue. Thanks for making the people passing by who witnessed your special skills of lack of discipline and common sense think we are all COCKS like you and possibly jeapourdize future events. Knee jerk councils and the service would use your actions to brand us all and deny future access to such facilities. You know who you are and I hope you consider the rest of us next time and either leave sensibly or don't come at all. Calder is open every friday night if you need to pull burnouts.

why do people ALWAYS rip burnouts when leaving car shows? do they not realise that each and every single car at the show is capable of doing equal to, and better than what they are doing?

always has me baffled

Great weather, great turn-out, great company, GREAT DAY!! :(

All the car's looked awesome and yet again mine was absent on a important event :)

Well said Geoff and Dezz. Unfortunately some people only think of themselves and do not realise that amongst their fellow enthusiasts they only look like DlCKHEADS with a lack of respect for other motorists :D

Dezz did you come?

And what about Abused (Kelvin), didn't see ya there either.

Spewin i couldnt stay, h0m0 mate had to have a kid one year ago today :(

yesterday was true testament to the fact that there is no such thing as a nice R31 :D

    • 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?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
