I would be happy to get an r32, r33 & r34 but the the others I prefer thats all. I'm looking for cars with about 500hp that have the looks to go with it.

Things I'm not looking for are cars with fancy colours eg. pink paintwork, big chromies or bodykits that wreck the image of the car (No offence to people into that sort of stuff it's just I'm not :),

The price I have in my head to thank the guys that are willing to come down I think is good for the time they are required & obviously they wont be driving for anywhere near 2-3 hours.

you may get more replies if you lower your requirement for 'big hp'.. pardon my ignorance but unless you are exchanging rings on a dyno or having your reception at WSID, why would hp matter?

Hi ecl

I see your point, the power figure I mentioned doesnt have to be met to the exact figure, a 300kw gtr is ample power :) but I would like a GTR that is well maintained & makes some decent power for my wedding.

You have an r35 gtr so you're already close enough to that figure :action-smiley-069:

i doubt any gtr owner is going to be ripping burn outs "for your wedding" for a couple hundred bucks haha

just get something with a loud exhaust and cam timing and itll sound like anything you can imagine.

The owners can do as they please & I'm paying more than a couple of hundred dollars for their services which they are only needed for 2 hours (the cars will only be driven 30-40 mins worst case scenario).

There is very little they have to do on the day.

1 - They have to drive from my place to the church which is 20-30 mins away with abit of traffic.

2 - Some photos will more than likely be taken at the church then after the church service they are free to go as I have other cars picking us up from the church.

Honestly did not think it was going to be that hard to organise 3 clean GTR's making some decent power.

Just to be clear, you are not paying for a service, else the owners would have to be registered drivers etc. You may be shouting them a few beers :)

I think part of the problem in getting cars is your first request and the implied performance work you want done, as well as needing cars with very good paint to look the best in photo's.

Apart for being too far away and having the wrong model GTR as per your request, I only have "normal" paint, I don't want to be hassled by RTA as a wedding makes you high profile, and I certainly don't want some moron saying light it up dude. I'd say others may have similar issues.

If you don't want the cars to do performance work, then ask for 3 clean GTR's regardless of power.

PS R33 for the win.

Just going to clear things up...

I said I would like to get some big horsepower cars, it's not that much of a necessity but it's just what I wanted. I would rather 3 clean gtr's over banged up big horsepower ones.

Some guys have been nice enough to respond to me/help me out & I'd like to thank them, nothing is concrete but I appreciate their interest anyway.

PS - I do like r33's I like all GTR's, I regret leaving them out of my list :(

Mate congratulations on the big day first of all!

And all you guys giving him slack its one of the guys biggest days of his life and he wants it to be remembered hence the requiest for a LOUD and POWERFUL GTR. Mate if i had a 32 id gladly rip the 4WD fuse out and light the entire street gutter to gutter for you :thumbsup:, unfortunately with a 34 im pretty useless and can only sit there looking pretty reving out of dropped pipes lol..

Congrats on the wedding Stephen.

everyman with a 33 is out to get me :whoops:

Thank you matt

Sure Sure, no one loves the lady with the hips.

Best of luck with the big day and the rest of your life. Just remember where the skyline comes in the priorities :)

They all need loving ;)

I'll start looking for another r32GTR vspecII for myself mid next year once things settle down. This one will be for keeps so I will take my time. I also want to get more active within the community.

I signed up for my membership on here last monday, still waiting not sure how long it takes?

Thanks for the kind words & don't worry I make it very clear where the skyline will stand when I get another haha.

@ MsR - Thankyou for the offer I'll get back to you if I need another :)

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
