Ok guys,

I understand this will probably turn into the same as my last "help out a fellow member" thread. But i will need your help.

I'm getting married next year (HOORAY!!) - need some help with my wedding cars.

Now originally we were gonna go with some flashy things (i was considering either a stretch hummer, or a black 57 chev). But now that we've thought about it, the place we are getting married (Loxley On Bellbird Hill), the entrance is around the back so its not like people will see us turn up. But obviously we will have the cars in the photo's. So i definitely want something photogenic. And i know from experience, imports definitely aren't shy.

Now if anyone can help us, there will be compensation for your time/petrol, and this can be negotiated with the successful applicant/s.

Basically what i will need is:

- Transport to the venue

- I'll need the car to stick around for photo's

All up you may be looking at a couple of hours. Maybe 2 at the max.

Now the cars i'm looking at are:

- R34 GTR (preferably modded :yes:)

- R35 (probably clutching at straws to get this)

- Any silvia's (they would have to be extremely MINT) tho

- I may even consider R33 GTR's if something comes up that i like.

If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Nick

Oh no! I edited my post for NS but forgot to do it on SAU! :(

i) exact date - 09/09/09

ii) time required on that date - At this stage, the ceremony will start about 2:30-3. Haven't confirmed yet

iii) whether or not steep gutters need to be negotiated - nope no gutters. Mite have to negotiate the driveway..but should be sweet.

iv) back-up cars in case of illness, car breakdown at the last minute, mobile ph nos. - thats why i'm hoping i'll have a few ppl reply to this. That way i can choose a number of cars

v) dress code of drivers - I'll have to discuss with the fiance', But i would say as long as its a suit (even business attire is ok) that would be fine

vi) air cond working if hot, so that mascara doesn't run all over the back seats for example lol - it'll only be the guys in the imports (no need to worry about mascara) the girls are going in SS commodores i think)

and 7

are there any spas invloved :)

BAHAHAHAHAHA

No albert..no spa's...the place does have a bidet' tho :D

8. Make sure you bring your jumper cables :D

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
