Greetings...or g'day. My name's Evan, I'm here from New York visiting Australia and Sydney for a bit. Life-long motoring enthusiast with a particular affection for Honda (hence the username), but with a soft spot for Nissan as well.

As you probably know, we are not so fortunate as to have GT-R's aside from R35's in the States. I've had the opportunity to command a few R35's back home, and don't get me wrong, they are amazing machines. But the R32, R33 and particularly the R34 are the stuff of legends are made of.

That said, I was wondering if anyone here would be kind enough to take me for a spin in their GT-R on one of your world renowned mountain roads. Not asking to drive, just a ride at the hands of someone who knows how to drive their machines...without killing me.

In addition to fulfilling the wishes of an appreciative yank, the experience will be featured on a popular blog that a few of my mates and I run back home, IvyLeagueEast: wwww.ivyleagueeast.com. We have a pretty large audience so you'll get a bit of exposure, including about 85,000 likes on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IvyLeagueEast

Please post or message if you're interested. Located in Sydney Inner West.

I'm also attending the Bathurst Motor Festival this weekend. If you're gonna be around that way give me a shout, would love to shoot the shite with a few locals as well.

Few pics attached. One of me behind the wheel of an R34 M-Spec, the first RHD car I drove here (complete with shit eating grin). Others of my own Nissan's back home: '13 Fairlady 370z with Volk Re-30, coils, pipes, etc.; '73 240z; not pictured an SR swapped S13 with GT28 and bolt ons that I built with a few of my mates.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
