its not the maintenance cost you should be worried about, its the risk that your insurance company will void your warranty if they find out you accepted money for driving people around.

well u said voiding warranty..not insurance...to me that is different.

to me thats kinda "same shit, different smell"?

lol

i guess what hes saying is kinda in sync to what i was mentioning earlier.

what i hope you realise is, its a big price your really asking for.

especially with that sort of reimbursment your offering. if you think about it...hiring a late model BMW 318i is worth alot more than everything thats going to be included from you.

this is something thats someones, hard earned money...

even if they are rich.............the rich are harder to draw blood from than a stone, i can tell you that much. Try asking your request to millionaires like the owner of Rick Damelian or the owner of Virgin blue whom are both filthy...loaded...to the extend they wont even cringe losing a million at the casino.

but yet......tell them that you are good sport in the Skylines Australia Forum...needing a car for your wedding. I guarrantee you that they will not be lending you a car for the love of god....

so once again, try and understand

epecially the way you are being so picky about it too......but yet so desperate at the same time...

if i were you and was in your position......id offer them $500, AT LEAST......minimum........for the car you are SPECIFICALLY asking for.

please dont take this as being offensive....im just letting you know how some people on here feel...

anyways...all good

..happy days!

Its all personal opinion. Some people don't mind, some people do. Ive driven plenty of cars to formals for $200 with out food (including my uncles 300k 911 porsche turbo) etc. If I had a 34 I would not mind - they only cost 50k now. Some people just like to go for a cruise in their car from a - b, but to get paid for doing so is a top bonus. If my importer has an R34 GTR at the time of your wedding and it doesnt get sold, he said I could borrow it.

This was one I was going to get for you until it got sold:

That's nice of you Jez.

If you were thinking of JapLink though, I was told by Todd and Yumi that they weren't considering getting any more R34 GTRs right now.

well my philosophy with R34 GT-R all these years was.....

the Majority of people who actually WANT that car...... CAN'T afford it. because its generally the younger people whom would want that car...

And generally for the people who CAN afford it.......DON'T end up getting a car like that.

because, for e.g at its current market value (60,000+/-).. if you really look around on the roads...theres actually ALOT of cars that is worth more than that. practically any brand new BMW 3 Series is worth that amount. Most Mercs, Audi, Lexus exceed that price too.

look at the Lexus SC430 Convertible for e.g...im sure you see them around here and there.

they look just as simple like an Honda S2000... but its worth $168,000, so that person couldve bought 2 R34 GT-Rs... but people just simply dont.

im not sure the statistics with import scene......

but it seems like the importers dont do too well with R34 GT-Rs..im guessing due to the price and recession....

coz remember the V-spec 1 bayside blue GT-R at E & M imports in Fivedock?

that was sitting there for nearly 2 years.

their prices seemd a bit high for it but then again...after the aussie dollar went kaput...it actually sits at a decent price @ 55,000$

i think importers sell alot more S15 Silvias, Skyline GTS & GT-Ts...

Hey cool, you know Todd and Yumi! Top people, would not buy my car anywhere else! Yeah at the moment he has those V35's and V37 thingy's coming in. The 350GT he had was a dream to drive!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
