Had a great time - Thanks again to Kel and Duncan

Well done on including MacPass in the instructions (its fun uphill aswel)

Pics look good

I got lost (well, i just drove, the navigator got us lost) and found an interesting road, if anyones going out that way id suggest where the turn is for "The Oaks" where we all turned right (dammit), go straight for about 15-25 mins and enjoy the drive (its not exactly a slow drive)

I tell ya, observation cruises put a lot of strain on relationships!

It's all good now. :) But geez. I don't know how you people who organise these things can live with yourselves... *shakes head*

*stares at abobob, duncan, and kel.........

:lol:

Thanks for a cool day guys. Food was good and it was cool to meet some fellow skyline nuts. My drive home was unfortunatly marked with bogans yelling racist crap at me through Shell Harbour and Wollongong. I'm not even close to ethnic. Try asian you racist moots.

Thanks to Bob, Di and Duncan for putting on a cool day. What awesome weather!!.......eventually.

What an awesome day!! Great cruise, bearing in mind it was my first and I didn't know what to expect! Abobob, Duncan, and Kel did a great job organising the event (sorry if I've missed anyone), and I finally became a member of the club!

Everyone was very friendly and helpful - it was good to put names to faces! The photos taken turned out really well also!

Can't wait to do it again!

Had a great time.It's allways good fun putting names to faces.We should have another cruise sometime before christmas.

I got so burnt.Duncan made teh mad fap burgers.needed a little sauce though.

I wanted to go in the event but my passenger pulled out at the last minute due to work.But i still had a great time cruising down with the boys and girls.

was a great day, even though im severely sun burnt.

Maybe i should buy me some khaki short shorts etc and catch red backs for a living? :S

Newho, stoked my car is in some pics :D

Great day all and cheers to duncan, adam, kel and everyone else who helped make the day happen.

Cruised home afterwards with Trust33 for a bit, somewhere between the end of that mini run and us leaving the place i had something cause my HICAS warning light to come up :S

i don't care, i want to get rid of the bloody thing anyway :(

Anyway, great day.

P.S. Would it still be possible to get one of those SAU shirts and/or caps?

    • 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
