Hey guys,

I'm trying to organise wedding cars for my wedding in september. I'm looking at R34 GTR's for the groomsmen...i've already got one (thanks to Terry!)

I need another one tho.

If anyone has a R34 GTR they would like to lend me that would be awesome! I would prefer darker colours (black, midnight purple) however i would consider others depending on the mods etc...You would be invited to the wedding as we would need you to drive. I would never dream of asking to drive someone elses car. Its your baby.

You would be provided with a meal and drinks (as you would be considered a guest), and fuel costs would also be negotiated.

However, here's the clincher....its a wednesday in september..if anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help

Nick

...and maintenance costs for the owner's car??? This is just plain courtesy eh?

+ risk of vandalism + stone chips + time to re-vacuum + rewash + suit dry clean yadayada

How far is the drive? From owner's house > bride's house > church > reception > owner's house?

Got da drift?

Maintenance? What you want him to replace your spark plugs and oil filter after wining and dining you? You get to enjoy a free dinner, meet some nice people. No more of 'vandalism or rock chips' than there would be if you drove the car down the road to buy a kebab...

Got da dorifto? It's not a Ferrari mate..

Mate its a wedding....i'm not asking you to leave your car unlocked in the middle of redfern with the keys in it. I'm not forcing anyone to do it. If they want to do it they will. And if you don't like driving your car...you shouldn't have one.

And let me break this down for you...

Its a spot at the wedding - $120 (this includes food)

Drinks - There is a limited bar tab...after that it would be up to you but that'll still be a bit that we supply

Hi Res photos of your vehicle - free on your part

Fuel will be negotiated...but we will cover some fuel costs

And venue is 25-30 minutes from our house..most cruises are longer than that. The reception and ceremony is at the same place. All you have to do is pick up the groomsmen..take us to the venue, maybe park the car on the grass so we get photos..move it back round to the car park...lock it...come in and have a good time...

Then when you want to leave, you're more than welcome.

UPDATE:

If you do not wish to stay for the meal (which is fine..its totally up to you)

We will pay cash (we're looking at around 100 + fuel *which would probably work out about $100*)

VE SS-V Commodore with 22" alloys...but yes it is hard to beat a black R34 GTR (hehe! Thanks again Terry!)

Most happy to do it N & J.

I just have to remember to bring a little brown bag if I'm forced to follow commie - that's all...hehe

Fuel should be no more than $50 really; even less!

Come on fellahs, any other good lookin' R34 GT-Rs out there for a lovely couple? Can you arrange for a Wednesday RDO?

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
