Got the following request:

I am tracking down a hotted up  Nissan skyline GT-R in gold, silver, yellow or orange.  It is required for one night for the shooting of a TAC short film. Do you know of an owner who would like to be involved in this project

Anyone with an appropriate car, please PM me.

Why?

I'd specifically recommend anybody NOT to lend their car to this purposes for the TAC - who will no doubt use it in a campaign against high performance imports and how speeding is inherantly dangerous under all conditions or other similar unfounded or "stretched" facts.

With the current situation, I don't believe *anybody* should be supporting any further moves to restrict our rights as drivers on the roads, and a further waste of taxpayers money.

I asked for anyone interested. I don't particulary care if you DON'T want to participate. It's not like its compulsory.

The request came via one of my car clubs, so I believe it to be a genuine request for legitimate purposes.

As opposed to wasting Taxpayers money, the TAC is very good in providing up and coming directors the chance to produce their own commercials.

I know often in the past TAC ads have been sought through giving younger film directors the chance to put together an ad, then submit it, then the best of a bunch gets given the funds to properly produce. (something like this).

As an avid supporter of aus films and establishing a base for australian talent, I'm down with it, if I was fortunate to own such a beast I would gladly provide it, and good on you TAC for doing what alot of other Australian organisations should do!

my 2 cents

Guys.... enough comments on rubbish about the legitimacy of the ad.

Anymore spam and rubbish that isnt positive input into this post will be removed and the person made to spend time in the PIT. We try to make this a place where people can come and post without having 10 ppl (the usual suspects u know who u are (inc sometimes myself when the thread is not of a serious nature :D) jumping in with comments which have nothing to add to the question that is asked and instead pick to peices the overall subject.

Blind_elk a very trustworthy and respected member has come in asking a simple question. From this post on (not inc this one) i want nothing but simple answers directed in his direction in relation TO the question.

If what ur about to post is not what i just mentioned then DO NOT post it.

Cheers,

inark

Just out of interest, I contacted the company, and expressed you guys apparent concerns as to why they wanted the car, and for a bit of info about the shoot. This is their reply:

For your peace of mind the short film we are making is to support the TAC community message of maintaining safe driving. TAC are interested in raising community awareness of road safety, not policing.

The company made the "Wraps of the world" TV ads (check them out at www.renegade.com.au )

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
