Hey guys,

Our school formal is in August this year and I really could not think of a better way to turn up than in one of these beautiful creations. So I was wondering if anyone with a skyline (preferably 34) would be willing to do this, all you would have to do is drop me and maybe 1 or 2 other people off at the formal.

Price could be discussed at a later date.

Please let me know if you could or know someone who could, it would be absolutely amazing :)

Throw it up as a cruise. Ie get a whole bunch of skylines to rock up, pick the best one to ride in and the others as "escort". 300zx club did this in ACT last year, no one asked for payment - 2 cars actually came all the way from Sydney for the cruise.

Ditto that - impressive and fun.

Edit: From memory outside of the person who wanted a Skyline I beleive a number of others at the time decided to go in the other lines.

We did one from q'town to Rydges Lakeside and another from Aranda/Weetangra to the Convention Centre.

One corner comming out of the belco suburb all the lines drifted a little slidewayz. it had sprinkled a lil rain.:whistling:

I know you said you want a Skyline and plenty of others are offering for free, but just in case you have mates or whatever that need a ride... I do formals (and weddings) in this, 1970 Dodge Challenger 440ci 6 Pack R/T:

Normally charge $250 but since it's not peak would do it for $200.

Otherwise I have the R32 GTR but never done a formal in one:

Heck yeah that things a weapon. I miss my old mustang everyday. Wish I never got rid of it.

I'd be happy to do the formal thing. Used to do them all the time on my previous cars. Mines not a GTR or anything just a tidy looking GTST but still a bit of fun.

What about a white wide body s15 silvia? My bro owns the car, and he would easily be willing to do a formal run, although it's probably best he only takes one person in his car considering it's pretty crammed in the back. 1999 Jap Spec R fitted with a c-west front, veilside front fenders, veilside sides, veilside wide rears, and veilside rear kit. The wheels will be painted soon (apparently) matte black centres with a gloss black lip. Right now it's kind of princess spec laugh.gif . He wouldn't charge much at all, maybe just a little bit towards petrol. Let me know what you think.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
