I thought you might want to see what The Organisation arranged for the UKs Skylines.

Asside from the usual park up of a load of cars (over 100) a parade lap was the order of the day for most of thye cars. Not sure of exact numbers but someone counted 102 Skylines on the track for the parade lap. One R31 led the way driven by Claire Williams (Booty-licious) and after that was a huge array of R32, R33 and R34, GTS. GTT, GTST and GTR.

Obviously there were other full on track sessions with some dedicated to Skylines but, as this was part of a wider Japanese car meet (from Marchs to Scoobies and everything inbetween) the parade lap got people really excited and, if the number of people hanging off the pit wall was anything to go by, it wasn't just the drivers and their passengers that had a good time. Some of the passengers were as young as 3 years old!

Anyway, I thought you might want to see some pictures (the first one is mine):

was just talking to some of the fellas here about that meet you guys had in the UK. 108 is an awesome effort.

the skyline owners here are too lazy to rock up at the same time on the same day lol. but imagine if all the ones in sydney or melbourne got together... i'm sure there's at least 5 on my street.

You guys must have a tight knit community up there in the UK.

Thanks for the reply, it took a LOT of effort to do and we spent over a month putting it together. Some people drove for 5+ hours just to be there and take part. It's a once a year thing to have a National Skyline Meet. The first year we saw only about 30 cars but now it's in the sixth year it really has grown. :(

geosocial factors only explain a small part: the UK has a population of some 60M, and Australia has about 20M. and geographically it would be about the same distance to the venue in both the UK and Oz. here are maps for comparison:

but to be honest, i think there's also a difference of cultures. differing perceptions of what constitutes a 'community' and 'community participation' go a long way to explaining why it's so hard to get people involved here.

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
