Ok guys,

I understand this will probably turn into the same as my last "help out a fellow member" thread. But i will need your help.

I'm getting married next year (HOORAY!!) - need some help with my wedding cars.

Now originally we were gonna go with some flashy things (i was considering either a stretch hummer, or a black 57 chev). But now that we've thought about it, the place we are getting married (Loxley On Bellbird Hill), the entrance is around the back so its not like people will see us turn up. But obviously we will have the cars in the photo's. So i definitely want something photogenic. And i know from experience, imports definitely aren't shy.

Now if anyone can help us, there will be compensation for your time/petrol, and this can be negotiated with the successful applicant/s.

Basically what i will need is:

- Transport to the venue

- I'll need the car to stick around for photo's

All up you may be looking at a couple of hours. Maybe 2 at the max.

Now the cars i'm looking at are:

- R34 GTR (preferably modded :yes:)

- R35 (probably clutching at straws to get this)

- Any silvia's (they would have to be extremely MINT) tho

- I may even consider R33 GTR's if something comes up that i like.

If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Nick

Oh no! I edited my post for NS but forgot to do it on SAU! :(

i) exact date - 09/09/09

ii) time required on that date - At this stage, the ceremony will start about 2:30-3. Haven't confirmed yet

iii) whether or not steep gutters need to be negotiated - nope no gutters. Mite have to negotiate the driveway..but should be sweet.

iv) back-up cars in case of illness, car breakdown at the last minute, mobile ph nos. - thats why i'm hoping i'll have a few ppl reply to this. That way i can choose a number of cars

v) dress code of drivers - I'll have to discuss with the fiance', But i would say as long as its a suit (even business attire is ok) that would be fine

vi) air cond working if hot, so that mascara doesn't run all over the back seats for example lol - it'll only be the guys in the imports (no need to worry about mascara) the girls are going in SS commodores i think)

and 7

are there any spas invloved :)

BAHAHAHAHAHA

No albert..no spa's...the place does have a bidet' tho :D

8. Make sure you bring your jumper cables :D
I've got a mad bluebird that can be used.

It has some hail damage! :D

Nick,

Firstly, congrats on the wedding!!

I have a mint silver R32 GTR, perfect paint, no dents, no issues, run's beautiful.

200Kw at the rubbers, only has modded exhaust, nothing flashy.

Let me know if this is something you might be interested in.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives.

      You don't have to be bored driving a Camry. Not based on the way that a couple of f**king Ubereats/Didi/othersortofmethaddlednightshiftattheservicestationrecentimmmigrants were piloting them on the way to work this morning. f**k me dead!

      FWIW, the Bride reps are really nice to sit in. The only complaint I have, other than the tear in my bolster, is that the velcro used to hold the backrest cushion in place, up under the headrest, is a little obvious and intrusive and could probably be done better. I don't know if that is a "feature" on the genuine ones also though. I haven't looked at a genuine one like the ones I have, only some of the older models. The other thing is, even though I bought the CF ones, I think the CF is really just decorative, over the top of the same FG as the normal seats. And so they really aren't light. Between the solidly built CF/FG seat, the steel frame in the recliner mechanism, and the solid-arse seat rail, they are probably heavier than even the stock seat. They are a serious lift to get in and out of the car.

      Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.

      I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.
