Just trying to gauge numbers of Skyline owners on the Sunshine Coast that may be interested in helping me out for my wedding in January. I am preferably looking for white Skylines, but at this point silver or other lighter coloured cars (probably not black :) ) would also be ok - the wedding is going to be a very non-traditional summer wedding, and will feature plenty of colour, so if you own a well presented Skyline and are interested, please let me know.

Thanks!!

I really think the idea of Skylines as wedding cars is really ghey and tacky.

Go and hire 3 identical white cars, they don't have to be Limo's BMW's or Merc's.

I reckon 3 white VY Berlina's would be nicer than Skylines as wedding cars.

What does you missus think about climbing in and out of the back of a coupe in her wedding dress?

She's the one that suggested asking fellow Skyliners - whether or not she has properly thought through getting in and out, I have no idea! :)

Obviously if we could find someone with a 4-door, that would be optimal... :D

Depends on the location and the exact date, but I could prolly help out.

Thanks for all offers so far!

The date will be 14th January (Saturday) for an afternoon wedding (around 2-3pm... ish) - I'll tally up the offers a little closer to the date and give everyone the full details then.

Thanks again everyone! ;)

Oh and Daniel, I love black Skylines - just not for a wedding... maybe for my funeral... not in the near future though - touch wood! :P

OK, we are just over a week away from the big day (aaaarrgh! :nyaanyaa:) - can I just get a more definite show of hands as to who is willing and able to help me out on Saturday 14th January with my wedding.

I can PM the details (including what's in it for you :blink: ) to those interested in providing their cars for the day.

Thanks everyone!!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
