Hi Guys/Gals,
I'm looking to hire a skyline R34 GTR for my husband to be for our wedding in December this year, at North Brisbane, as a surprise for him . He's sacrificed a lot for our family, including his dream car which is a 34 GTR, and I was hoping someone would be willing to let him drive it from our home to our wedding venue (which is about 20minutes). I'm more than happy for the owner to be in the car when he drives as well, just incase they'd prefer to be in it too as he drives. I'm also willing to pay a fee to cover fuel and for their time, and we can discuss insurance policies ect further as well. I've joined several other groups (Downshift, Boost Cruising ect) in hopes to find someone. If anyone can help or point me in the direction of someone I would be extremely appreciative.
Thanks in advance!
Steph :)

Most of the guy's here would be more than happy to Drive your future husband to the event. They would even get him there in an excited acceleration manner too.

The difficult thing would be for them to let someone they do not know drive the vehicle that they have poured ludicrous amounts of time, money and in is some cases nearly their soul into, Insurance in the event of son of rajab forbid the worst happening would not cover the hours of time spent on this very forum researching the way to improve the car let alone the hours slinging spanners and working with tuners to make it into the beast your future husband desires so much.

I am pretty sure that if asked the QLD Club could arrange a lift for him and possibly an escort of other skylines if the members were so willing and that is what you desired, but I believe that being allowed to drive it may be a bit much of an ask.

I hope all goes well with your magical day and it turns out how you dream it to.

Which is completely understandable! He owns a skyline R32 GT-ST and is a mechanic himself, so I understand how passionate people are about their cars and how they can spend endless hours (and money) on them. I'm just hoping that someone is willing to do that, if not I'm more than happy just for him to be one and rock up in it :) Thank you for the well wishes as well!

Thanks Dan! Knew it was a long shot but thought I'd try anyway ;) Not exactly sure how to work this forum (I'm a bit computer illiterate!) so could you point me in the direction where I could start asking for someone to take him? Id really appreciate it :)

4 x Bayside Blue can be done, as long as the guys don't have them in the workshop at the time.

Steph, do you have a colour preference?

We've also got the Charity cruise coming up. Reckon that you can have your boys ready? 8/12 is what we're looking at at this stage.

    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
