the guys we buy cars for in UK usually have a higher budget than the average aussie customer, mainly due to their more favourable exchange rate with the yen... we just bought a R33 280TypeMR for about 1.3 million yen for a guy in the UK... most of the cars we've sent to the UK have been either built drifters/track cars or rare models or GTRs.

then again I think I know of at least 150 kids under the age of 20 with R33 GTSt's in melbourne alone. and from memory SAU VIC has abour 260 paid memebrs.

I reckon an east coast australian skyline meet would be of great force and magnitude if everyone pulled a finger out and showed up.

UK just looks more impressive because

A) They have better cars than us :O

B) They group the cars by colour :)

It's the first time we tried putting all the cars on the track together, I think the colour groups was Fuggles idea. :) which I think it worked really well.

If guys have 100+ members in Perth alone :D , why not try and organise a big meting there and aim for the ton? :)

I'm sure there must be a hell of a lot more Skyline's in Aus, than over here. Most of your main citys should be able to do quite well.

As for us having better cars than you guys...................................well, go find better ones guys. :happy: We haven't got the market cornered you know!! :happy:

Great pics and really like the colour co-ordination. In all my years there, I only spotted one skyline which was a 33 GTR in silver on a trip back to see my parents once. This was about 2 years ago.

I know of several over there including Cam's red 34 GTR which I dont see in any pics but I know he hasnt been in the best of health lately so quite possibly didnt show.

Great effort and in my experience, getting UK guys/girls to an event is a lot harder than the aussie's due to stepping outside of the comfort zone in a large part. :happy:

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
