OK

Universal Pictures is having a red carpet premiere of the Fast and the Furious 4 on Wed 8th of April in Sydney.

We'll be there filming the event and putting some cars on display and now Universal have asked us to provide two cars to pick up Paul Walker and Vin Diesel and drop them at the premiere while the media awaits on the red carpet. The driver of the car will then get to see the movie and some season tickets to take mates once it opens at cinemas.

Now, Paul Walker actually loves GTRs in real life so that would be the most suitable car.

I have to show Universal a few options and they will make the final decision. Basically they will judge it on how hot it looks to a "normal person"

Car must have back seats as will need to drop off Paul, Publicist and a security guard

If your interested email pics of your car to:

unfortunately no chance of replacing rear seats in car but you are welcome to have car for static display or anti-lag limiter exhibitions.

The 'Bakes' R34 looks the goods and will have a Red 'R' Racing upgrade freshly finished by the time you need it. Ill get some pics.

OK JAS-25T, look at my username and think of who owns the car and youll release your the goose and there's no duck around. I think running Ignition DVD and holding the premiere of Fast and the Furious 3 is good enough credentials for the post.

Oh, and I started a new username cos my old one was from 6 years ago and had no relevence

Don't know the user name or the car..... or care about ignition DVD.

good luck :thumbsup:

Sorry mate, like I said happy to be proven wrong.

Surely you know who Andrew Hawkins is?

He is not as famous as his sister (Jennifer) but almost. :banana:

Doof...Andrew has been a member on here for years...but has been in stealth mode under another username.

Just curious Andrew, what's your cut for finding "supplying" vehicles?

Also do you represent one of those "car model" type agencies for t.v ect? (for future reference)

And by all means release your goose, it deserves it's freedom. :thumbsup:

Doof...Andrew has been a member on here for years...but has been in stealth mode under another username.

That's actually what I thought, which is why I thought it was a bit sus too when this new Andrew turned up...

oh yeah, and I'm just gunna start dobbing in nice cars :thumbsup:

no cut, no agency, no bullshit, no goose

Im filming the premiere event for Castrol and was asked as a favour to provide cars. Easier to film it all if im organising it.

I don't do the whole "agency thing" if I need cars for something i just ask.

Oh, and yes I've been on this site for ages but seems as i don't have a Skyline and poeple think ( read: think) Ignition is bling only then too many people try and be haters and I don't really have the time or care factor to worry about that. Maybe when I build a GTR people on this sight will be nicer to me.

you're not getting bagged for it man, relax... (oh sif edit your post)

I know of quite a few members that visit pretty regularly that will love to do it, one having a bayside blue R34 Tommy Kaira...

It will all work out in the end :banana:

Or, you can buy a cheap ticket for Superlap and pick and choose while you're there :thumbsup:

Cool, i've been pondering putting my 2 old girls to work, doesn't hurt to ask.

Btw I loved your theory on the space-time continuum...some good work indeed.

Thx and goodluck.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
