yes exactly most of us on here have had cars 5 years or more and i like your offer ta

Didn't quite work for us. Tracy and I had certain cars planned and 2 of them have been sold now ... good thing we didn't formally plan for it just yet.

:)

congratulations :( We wanted Stagea's for our wedding last year (was our first anniversary yesterday :) ) but couldn't get them so we had silver r33 and r34 and they looked great.

We got the 33 from a guy here, 4door_Sleeper. He was a really nice guy and used his car in a lot of weddings so I'd ask him. The 34 we got from a guy who lived around the corner. My mum knew we wanted "one of those cars with the big round circle tail lights" lol and when she saw him at the shops she followed him home to see if we could also use his. Luckily he said yes and didn't call the cops to have her arrested for stalking...

I strongly recommend getting a 4 door over a 2 door car - unless the girls want to be all crumpled walking down the aisle :ermm:

Heh, I dont really know that theres that much difference between a 4 door and 2 door skyline, theres sod all legroom in the back regardless of how u cut it

that said Kellie, if u need a white 32 gtr around the time and im available, i'd be happy to help - but pity the poor sod in the rear? 2 door skylines would be good for delivering the main portions of the bridal party (bride/groom, best man, matron of honor) etc and leave the entourage to stretch hummers and statesmans ;P

-D

thanks guys i really appreciate it and yeah i think a 4 door for me is easyer as the dress i have picked out is massive i know for sure there will be 2 R35 GTR's at the front! there are 3 brides maids and 3 grooms men and me dont want anyone in the 35's so there will be 4 cars needed

problem with using skylines as bridal cars is u need a forklift to remove the bridal party without screwing their dresses up....

go the bentley

-D

really do you think it will match up?

no idea eh, but the bigger the bridal party, the bigger the ballast yo

if you are going to use skylines, then take into account the absolute joke that is the legroom in either the gtr or gts models, whether they be 2 or 4 door - the space is still laughable. if ur bridesmaids are fat then you're going to have some real problems

and even if theyre skinny miranda kerr types, they'll still need someone to open the door for them and pullthem out the car (which if ur after old school wedding, thats an act of chivalry and it makes a bridesmaids fundament precipitate...)

so yer, stick to tradition imho, put the grooms party in black cars, brides in white, and have an escort for both parties, to open the doors, help them out of those stupidly low jap cars, and escort them up the aisle...

and make sure theres loads of booze for the drivers ahah

-D

oh yeah the people lending their cars will be invited to the wedding and a little pressy will be given t them as well as payment for the use if required

heh i dont think a present is required for volunteers, as long as u give them something to munch of while they kick back and relax :)

bridal party food = good shiznit

-D

yes but the presen is something they will love for ever

because hey will be invited to the wedding they will get the food and drinks some will be invited anyway

you're going to give me a life size r2 d2 with every police academy movie in its memory banks?

praise allah!

you have obviously never done a wedding in a 4 door,

again having never done a wedding your commenting on things you know nothing about, i know YOU may have sat in the back of a 4 door and no offense your a larger sort of guy you may not of fitted comfortably, but my self im 6'1 and i fit easy in the back of mine.

secondly a good chauffeur will open the door for his occupants we might not be professional but if someone is having a wedding is it a little to ask they wear a suit and open a door

heh i dont think a present is required for volunteers, as long as u give them something to munch of while they kick back and relax :)

i charge $200 for a wedding service i think a little pressy is more than appropriate if full payment isnt being made try getting a 57 chev wedding car you'll be looking @ $150/hr and then mileage too if you go out the CBD

>>33 4door wedding cars<<

I just love it how you assume in all your blind arrogance that I've never done a wedding before in a 4 door.. Assume and you make an ass out of u and me.

Using my dads black mercedes was bad enough, and they have tonnes of legroom...

Regardless of 2 door or 4 door, theres stuff all room in the back of skylines, period. And maybe you might be skinny, but I've seen flower girls with more bulk than you Steve, and considering the dresses are somewhat elaborate, they could possibly use any help thats offered to exit the vehicle in a dignified manner.

You're right about the chauffer opening the door, that would be ideal if they could do that.

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
