Hi

I am getting married in May and my fiancé is obsessed with GTR R35's. I am trying to surprise him by organising for him to be driven to the church (Sydney metro area) in an R35 as this would absolutely make his day! Would anyone be willing to help me out? I will obviously pay you for your time and petrol. Hoping someone can help me! Thanks!

Most of these guys don't appear to need the money (given the purchase price of the car), and they probably have better things to do with their time.

You never know though.

Man that's a bit rough!! Can't you R35 owners in Sydney share and appreciate the passion for these great cars and make some guy's special day just that bit more special?? ,,,,,all security and safety issues aside of course.

I think if I was in Sydney I'd probably help out. Have used my GTR in 2 weddings up here in QLD already - but they were close friends...

Thanks everyone!! Appreciate the response! 2FA54U - it might be a bit hard since you are in the Hunter and the wedding is in Sydney but I will let you know if I get stuck though. GTR32G - I have sent you a PM.

That's ok if you get stuck let me know anyway I'm always keen for a nice long drive :)

Guys, be weary of this 1. If you are paid for the service you are Technically operating as a Limo without the appropriate Limo License and 2. Your insurance company will claim you are operating the GTR Commercially, rather than the private policy I am sure you're GTR is covered. I have heard this from another Car Club i was with that had been asked to do the same and we were warned about potential consequences. I assume if you are not being "Paid" for this and invited as a Guest of the wedding it may not be a problem..

If there was any payment it would be cash and render the above moot...you are simply a wedding guest.

Too many 'dudley-do-rights' these days.

I got paid in beer + I had a very good perve for my efforts below :-)

Yes, I posted up a thread in NSW > PDS whereby some insurance companies will definitely not allow the transport of persons for money. Others make no mention of it. But Brian knows his PDS back to front.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
