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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By zique · Posted

      Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.

      Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?

      I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I dunno. I just go off what I know works. On RB20, the idle switch meant something to the ECU and the potentiometer was ignored. In Nistune, with the switch unplugged, you could bridge the terminals in the loom connector and see IDLE come on and off. Not so by moving the pot. The R32 RB20 ECU and the 26 ECU both look like this. Sure there is the "throttle sensor" (pot) on pin 38, and also sure, the idle switch is also directly wired to the TCU, whereas the pot is only directly conected to the ECU. But I am sure that the throttle position from the pot is passed to the TCU across the data bus on pins 21, 22 & 31. Maybe the ECU likes to know throttle position, but it sure as hell doesn't use it to determine the idle condition. Meanwhile, on the later engines, like the 33 25DET and my Neo, you remove the TPS and move the pot to-from the 0.45V position, and IDLE comes and goes in Nistune. No throttle switch on the ECU diagram. Just the pot.

      So, good news and bad news Bad news first: The intake plenum is lost in the mail apparently, I haven't paid for it yet, and MX5 Mania are still chasing it up, farking 'Merica postal service  Good news: Any retune will be free if and when it turns up,  I'm still keen for them to throw it on The car goes noticeably better, with only the typical initial take off thingie from a choppy cam and manual transmission, but giving it just a little more RPM than before gives it a smooth take off (and hour or so of peak hour traffic sorted that little skill out) Car made around 145kwatw & 225Nm (Intake may get me to 150kw, maybe....🤣) Weirdly, 145kwatw is the same max power that my standard 2015 WRX STI made a few years ago The cam really comes alive from around 3.5k and keeps making power and holds it flatish all the way to 7k, whereas before torque would drop hard around at 4.5k Drive home was sadly in peak hour, although I did get a little clean air here and there to wind out 1st and 2nd a little bit, and whilst the gains aren't anything for the "boosted boys" to be impressed at, the thing is a blast to drive The sound in the vid is poor, as it is in a undercover yard at work, but, outside, in the wild, it sounds awesomeballs to my ears with all the choppyness I consider it money very well spent for the outcome  Cam specs for reference (Basically the biggest you can fit with stock pistons) 20250417_171807.mp4   LOL, I don't think I will ever grow up
