Is this limited to members with Skylines? Or can the few members with non Skylines also enter and maybe have a section for the “Others”?

This event is definately not limited to just Skylines.

There are quite a few members that drive other cars, like myself, B-man and his rotary, Neil and his freak of a car, fatz and his excuse of a car... so you are definately not alone.

What track damage Corinne?

Everyone else track damage..

People seem to think this is only for show type cars but It's not.

Im putting mine in and its only a daily driver.

Well actually there will be many unofficial categories just like that. We have a lots and lots of stuff to give away. I remember last time we actually ran out of time to give all the stuff away there was so much. haha. You'd almost say it was unlucky if you didn't win anything.

Yeah, maybe we need a new category, "Best Track/Drift/Race Event Damage" - Duncan would win hands down though I think..

Haha that was Marks car..

Duncan and Kel's was the only that didn't look half bad :blink:

Registered........both for the event & membership.

One question though, how do we confirm that our rego & payment has gone through. Is it emailed or do we get it on the day?

New to this so don't know the process.

Ooo this looks sweet! me and some mates will be in for sure...Im gonna have to be real cheap to get some moneys for my car in the next few weeks, does it matter if its nothing special? I just wanna jump in and get some ideas for my car while im at it too!

u can have the most modified/special car there or u can have the most standard car there. it doesnt really matter. its all about socialising and like u said getting ideas from others.

I'll get an email with your details in it tomorrow and I'll reply so you know I got it ok.

And yeah Razo, participation. We're trying to get a massive pile of Skylines together just to impress ourselves. I promise you will have fun. We've done this twice before and everyone had fun.

    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
    • The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
