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...

That's nice of you Jez.

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!

    • 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.
