I ended up pulling over behind the r34 and astroboy as I followed them back to the bruce highway. Could not see a thing and it was thankful that we all had out driver lights on so that we used each other's tail lights to guide us through.

After a while, we just pulled over hoping it would pass really quickly. 5mins after sittin there, it didnt so we drove on more.

Was good to meet some of you there. I missed the whole cruise thing due to being like 2 mins late to the BP I went to the carpark and im like wtf? then a cleaning lady told me, "they just left". anyways. I guessed that it was over woorim etc. Was a good place to park. almost enough room for everyone.

my fav car was a nicely kitted 32 that was a beautiful deep blue. ( hey i like blue)

anybody see that car. can't remember plates.

And my god rexkilla launch was unbelievable. Rain on the way home was a bit of a pain. haven't driven in stuff like that for ages. Did anyone else see the barina that had spun off the northbound hwy and wedged itself backwards into and under a tree branch in the median strip? funniest thing i've seen in a while.

well see you all again on the 27th hopefully. Cheers, Mark

lol

yeah i had seen that wedged under a tree

hahahaha

i thought it was a charade tho.

but lol funny as.

:blink:

yeah, i thought it was a charade too.

Was wonderin how it got there. Thought it had been there a few hrs. Then again, also thought it was stolen and left there to rot. Seen alot of old cars lately that been stolen around brisbane and just left there. One being along standly st in woolloongabba/stones corner area smashed into a side rail and left there.

yeh i behaved most of the day

i done a little launch for the sauers at the end there.

but everyone was gone by then, there was only us 5 or so left.

but yeah when there was lots of cars parked people shouldnt have been speeding up or down or anything.

worked out pretty well, was a great day, some people chopping up and stuff on the highway got a bit dodgy! lol

didnt seem much organisation once we got there, people just thought, meh im going and loads left after 10 mins hey.

thanks for the pics loved it.

all in all a great day, daym if anyone got caught in that heavy heavy rain right at the end on the way home, farq!!!! got visibility?

mick

Yeah wrxkilla I was behind you in that rain... :blink: could not see your tail lights at all and you were only about 30m in front of me..Ps your car shoots flames even on light shifts :blink:

    • 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.
