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.

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
