Hi

My fiance and I are getting married in Nov 2011. I want to suprise him with an R35 to drive to the wedding as he is a massive Skyline fan.

It would be great if he could drive it personally to the wedding. I am happy for the owner to be in the car with him (for piece of mind). Happy to supply license details, bonds, pay for petrol etc you name it.

He will be 32 once the wedding comes around, has had his license for over 10 years, currently owns an R32 GTR (which will also be in the wedding). Wedding is in Dundas Valley.

Will need it for 3-4 hours including photo time etc.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

Lauren =)

:D

Lauren have you tried looking into hiring one from a prestige rent-a-car place?

Im not in Syd, so i dont know any by name, but im sure there'd be some company out there with one for hire

edit! here you go, quick google search

Hi Domino

I actually have spoken to these people and ended the conversation extremely disappointed.

As the wedding only goes for 1 day (as most weddings do) we only need the car for 1 day - right? Well not that their website mentions anything but they came at me with a 2 day minimum hire for the weekend and are trying to charge me $2000. Considering we're not going to be in the country the next day I am just not going to pay it. I am more than happy to pay $1000 for one day - I even told them I'd pay a little extra if they just let me have it for one day but no.

This is the only other place I could think of.

I have contacted http://www.hireasportscarinsydney.com.au/ but they haven't got back to me yet. Fingers crossed. Will let everyone know what the outcome is when I know (incase someone else is looking).

Thanks anyways though! =)

Hi

My fiance and I are getting married in Nov 2011.

Even if you found someone tomorrow that says yes, whos to say the car will exist in 14 months or the owner will still be alive to carry out the service?

I'd look into it no more than 3 months before the wedding, also by then there should be a bigger pool to choose from, more modified ones around the place, maybe the rental places will reduce it to a 1 day hire when the cars become more common.

Congrats on the future wedding.

Because she is a women (and its about a wedding) and she is being smart about by planning ahead of time? (in contrast to some men who do it last minute).

I think its definately a good idea to scope it out ahead of time. Maybe just line up a backup hire car?

If I looked into it 3 months before the wedding I'd have a heart attack in the process thinking I've left it so late and not going to find anything - its a chick thing.

I'd rather be prepared and if it falls through then I have enough time to find another one or something else.

The rental place told me to call a few months before the wedding and 'if its available' they MIGHT give it to me for one day but I am just taking that risk. As you can imagine the whole wedding car thing is a big thing for my fiance so i'd like to lock something in ASAP.

im sure the future hubby would love to have the GTR rental for 2 days (day before wedding day and wedding day)

Hi,

It's probably too late but I have a Super Silver R35 and a mate has a Red R35. Did my wedding in Aug with the both and they looked awesome so have decided to start doing more weddings (have done a couple since)We do weddings but groom driving isn't an option. Depending on where in Syd it will be less than what you are wanting to pay (each).

Your other option is to hire one for the weekend but I think it is pretty exy!

Anyhow's all the best.

Regards,

Andy

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
