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.

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.

      Nismo front and back LSD

      What’s wrong with 2.6 first gear? I’ve done lots of 2nd gear starts from almost a dead stop and it just requires more clutch slip. A 2.6 first gear would be easier than that. I feel like the stock first gear is only good for severe traffic congestion where you need to be able to do 5 kph idling in first gear. Out in the US 120 kph is a very normal speed to be doing on the highways. If anything it’s slow, I regularly get passed by CA highway patrol doing that kind of speed. Out in the desert and plains even 18 wheelers are doing 130-140 kph. I would be less down on the Getrag if not for the fact that they cost north of 10k USD used and you’ll spend probably another 5k on a rebuild at least. I got my FS5R30A from Nissan for 1.5k USD. The cost of building one is maybe an extra 3-4k if you keep it reasonable. The final drive change to account for the 0.793 6th gear is also a pain to deal with.

      Usually the lower mount has a thicker/wider side, see image of the right side of the lower shock mount. Don't see why a couple of washers wouldn't do the same job.

      Counter opinon. Having both an OS gearset car and the getrag 6 speed, will take the 6 speed for the street all day long thanks. First gear on most gear sets are ASS, the bloody gear you spend heaps of time in on the street too.   I run the 4.11 and it is fine at 110, (not sure who gets to do 120)  I do find the gears a little short and doing a 3.89 setup.    Anyway back to your question, running stock LSD rear, love it. Tried an S15 helical rear, it was aweful. In the process of doing a quaife front on advice as part of the 3.89. Seems like a good option. Let you know     Car is 800awhp and mostly street.

      I do the online time trials to get silver (1mil credits). Currently the EG at Tsukuba I got 1:14.015. Show me what you got! (Don't take it too seriously I only use the controller, CBF setting up G29).
