Hi guys

Yes i know i'm taking the plunge into darkness lol :) .

At this stage i'm just after an EOI, just need to know if anyone would be interested.

I'm getting married in November, at the Sir Fransis Drake at Heatherbrae near Newcastle, looking for any GT-R as long as it's tidy. Would prefere R34 but i know there few and far between in Newcastle so any will do.

Should only need 2 cars with two passangers each.

There will be about 30mins max driving the whole day as i live local (not including your own travel time). so it's basicly pick me up at my house drive about 10mins, have the ceremony than drive to the local river for some shots and back again.

you will get paid, but price would have to be worked out.

Cheers guys

Cam

Hey Cam,

Firstly congrats on the wedding mate (I got married in september, was by far the best day of my life....so far!)

I too, was also on the look out for some GT-Rs for the groomsmen (the bride/bridesmaids had commodores :)), and luckily 2 members on here came through for me (one R34 GT-R, one R33 GT-R)

Hopefully you'll have the same luck. Being in newcastle, not sure whether that'll increase or decrease your chances but all the best! I think i went through about 5 or 6 possible GT-Rs when i was searching, and because situations kept changing, the lineup kept changing (but that's another story)

I cannot fault the members on here...and now i think i'm rambling..

so good luck!

Thanks Black Widow, should be a good day.

lol Bakes

i was hopping you might put your hand up :) i love your car. if you could make it that would be awsome i couldn't think of a nicer car to turn up to my wedding in.

since this is my first wedding i have no idea on price, what would you guys be happy with? i was thinking around 200 but i really don't know if thats fare or not. there really isn't much driving, i would think it will only take up half a day maybe less for you guys.

Piggaz

if you are happy to come up from sydney that would be great.

let me know if 200 isn't enough or what you think is fare

Cheers guys

Thanks so much guys, i really appretiate it.

i will have three cars all up one will be mine and you two (fingers crossed). i'll keep in touch in the up comming months and let you know the plans.

thanks once again

Cam,

God_speed and myself had a great time; whilst our cars were used for Black_Widow's wedding day.

Can I just suggest two things...

1) surveil the route so that the gutters and dips can accommodate low lips - esp. Bakes', perhaps Piggaz' too.

2) take off the ribbons before the cars move away - the shape of the bonnet is such that the flapping of the ribbons creates swirl marks.

You can always re-attach the ribbons at the destination pt.

Prayers for good weather on your Big Day too! No hail!

Edit: November is supposed to be the biggest month in the year for hail. Are you going to check Thrifty for a couple of backup Hyundais? Hail Hyundai? lol

Tez

lol Terry

i will leave it up to the guys as to weather they want to put anything on their cars, the GT-R's are only for the blokes anyway but will see what happens. I don't want to risk damaging anything as i know what these cars cost. As for the route, should be all smooth sailing i drive my car quite often over the same path so should be all good.

The weather oh yes i'm praying for 25 ans sunny :) thanks for the good wishes bud.

Oh really?

My apologies Terry!

We are still in the process of getting yourself and Matt copies of the photos from the day (been a little short of money...being affected by this card skimming thing doesn't help either ($1100 bye bye!)

No need to apologise Nick.

Like I said, we had a really good time - and spoke at length with the Salvos couple that officiated your Christian wedding ceremony.

It was a great wedding ceremony indeed - in fact, one of the best.

    • What are you planning to do specifically?  I would be very surprised if you need to learn any math for these 'few builds' you have planned for the future.
    • I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL
    • Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"  
    • I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
    • So far so good, another hour and their done
