Nice work! You boys in the motherland certainly are good at organising those national meets.

But 220? That's roughly how many skylines there are in Thomastown alone. lol if only Australia wasn't so huge, and people didn't have the "meh, its just a skyline" attitude we could try and organise something like that.

By all accounts it was not easy take a look here and thats just a fraction of the problems almost didnt get the tickets because Silverstone and its piss poor managing agents would'nt send them out. and they want to host the F1 yeah good luck on that one.

That is some ridiculous negative camber. If it ain't wearing out your tyres unevenly they must be really low on pressure or you're not driving far enough!

Good effort on the meet it sure would be a sight.

Fuck this is a huge Skyline gathering.

Welldone!

When Dezz and AP organised the East VS West meetup back in 2008 that was decent.

+ the Apple Peal Carwash meet MUZTEK did, we filled up the carwash area.

But no where near 220 cars.

Wasnt anything to do with me mate i just got the car there (from half way round the world) England dont have as many Skylines as you guys have so yeah i would imagine there are more driving around on you left nut. personally id get that looked at but what ever tickles your fancy.

Its a pleasure to own one back home most times your stopped and asked questions about it almost everyday

lol i does tickle a bit at times. nah dude i was saying well done on being involved. i wish stuff like that happens here is all

A 2.5 petrol engine in the UK is far bigger than your average car and will cost you a left nut in insurance. GTR's are a status symbol!

Silverstone definately suck the wang, been there with the Ford guys.

    • Hey I get it. Definitely sounds exciting, but not for me, there is almost no V10 or 12 that I really like. I don't like big engines with high cylinder count. V8s would probably be where I draw the line of "which engine would you use". Specifically an LS7 is a favorite of mine, or the 5.2 Voodoo by Ford.
    • But V12 Skyline. Like, I'm In!   Stay Tuned in the USA are jamming a V12 into a Foxbody at the moment... Just the sound of V10 or V12 is worth that adventure!
    • To put it in perspective; there is just one tuner shop that sells a single turbo kit for the RB26, at least publicly in their shop. Maybe one or two others can offer you a setup if you inquire, but I am not sure. That turbo kit is 16k in parts alone (high quality ones, but still). By the time it's installed, tuned and legalized expect it to cost 25k+. And then you still didn't take into account for any special wishes. I can't imagine legalizing an LS swap for example to be any cheaper. And if you want to legally raise power output by more than 40% of the highest-powered OEM variant of any specific car you'd have to do stress testing on a race track for 2000km. Wildly out of perspective cost and effort wise, especially for just one vehicle. But if you got too much money, I guess you could do it.
    • Yeah, I understand that TÜV is a bitch, but.... cost is not an issue when talking about putting a massive NA (or possibly large + turbo'd) V engine into a Skyline. We do it because it is fun. If mine was a project car and not a daily, I'd be finding some massive engine to put in it. Possibly one of the Toyota V12s that they make into monsters in New Zealand. Engineering is not cheap and easy here either (although definitely easier and cheaper than in Der Vaterland). But anything is possible, and 7L is better than ~2.5L, by about 200%.
