GoHashiri Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 Hi all, Sorry it's been a while. I was hoping to update this post sharing pics of my new car. As msitpro said, the return to the track was not kind on the engine. Probably back in August now, I visited the track and put a few laps down only to start hearing a knocking sound at high revs under load - I couldn't replicate it at a standstill. I figured my engine was finally knackered, particularly given the oil pressure woes I had been facing. Anyhow, I toyed with the idea of getting it replaced - which was the most financially viable option - but in the end decided to bite the bullet and buy a Skyline R34 GTT, just as prices for these were rocketing. The Z was afantastic car for the short amount of time I had it but it needed work - as all cars like this do - and I just figured, before I go all in on it I may as well get my dream JDM sports car. I wanted to keep the Z but it was just a bit of a nuisance owning 2 cars in the short-term, whilst my landlord charges me around £50 p/month p/car to park it. Not to mention it would have probably sat there for about 6 months whilst I worked on the Skyline. Anyhow, I'll post some pictures of the new car when it finally arrives (in the next couple of weeks). Here's a few I never got round to posting! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The return to track wasn't kind on the engine. Hahaha - unfortunately, yeah. I don't know what good it will be starting my new car build here. Although, I'll probably link this to my new thread on the new forum. No idea what the Skyline bunch are like though. On 08/10/2020 at 21:57, Payco said: Any Datsun 510 retro's running out your way ? Oooffff, I can't say I've seen one. I sometimes see Hakosukas or Kenmeris (see pic below). On 07/10/2020 at 21:47, Luigi350z said: No other lovely pics from Japan? TOOO MANY! my IG page still gets updated: @gohashiriya - surprise surprise. Cheers for the compliment! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably say that Gran Turismo has played an important role in taking me here. 5 hours ago, marzman said: Please stay on this forum and replace this thread with your Skyline build!

Ogman Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Just caught up with this, gutted to say the least! As others have echoed, please stick around and keep us updated on the R34 build 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejay29 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Photos are incredible and provide a great insight to Japanese culture/environment. The Zed looks perfect in such context. Would be interested in an R34 build also. Great content Edited November 28, 2020 by Ceejay29 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoHashiri Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi all, I finally took delivery of the R34 on December 24th and immediately went on a roadtrip to the Mt Fuji, Fuji five lakes area. Coilover, arms and wheels are here waiting to be installed - hopefully this weekend - then it's off for my third alignment in a year. It needs some work, but hey, that's to be expected. I appreciate the kind words on the Z. It was a great car and I'm fairly gutted I got rid of it but the space and the admin of keeping one car, let alone a second, is just too much of a pain for me right now. It's gonna be a little while until I take it to the track, I'm guessing around the middle of the year we should be good. Enjoy some pics of it in it's current unmolested state! lol - seriously lucked out on the plate. They're randomly generated as far as I know. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
