Hey guys,

I'm trying to organise wedding cars for my wedding in september. I'm looking at R34 GTR's for the groomsmen...i've already got one (thanks to Terry!)

I need another one tho.

If anyone has a R34 GTR they would like to lend me that would be awesome! I would prefer darker colours (black, midnight purple) however i would consider others depending on the mods etc...You would be invited to the wedding as we would need you to drive. I would never dream of asking to drive someone elses car. Its your baby.

You would be provided with a meal and drinks (as you would be considered a guest), and fuel costs would also be negotiated.

However, here's the clincher....its a wednesday in september..if anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help

Nick

...and maintenance costs for the owner's car??? This is just plain courtesy eh?

+ risk of vandalism + stone chips + time to re-vacuum + rewash + suit dry clean yadayada

How far is the drive? From owner's house > bride's house > church > reception > owner's house?

Got da drift?

Maintenance? What you want him to replace your spark plugs and oil filter after wining and dining you? You get to enjoy a free dinner, meet some nice people. No more of 'vandalism or rock chips' than there would be if you drove the car down the road to buy a kebab...

Got da dorifto? It's not a Ferrari mate..

Mate its a wedding....i'm not asking you to leave your car unlocked in the middle of redfern with the keys in it. I'm not forcing anyone to do it. If they want to do it they will. And if you don't like driving your car...you shouldn't have one.

And let me break this down for you...

Its a spot at the wedding - $120 (this includes food)

Drinks - There is a limited bar tab...after that it would be up to you but that'll still be a bit that we supply

Hi Res photos of your vehicle - free on your part

Fuel will be negotiated...but we will cover some fuel costs

And venue is 25-30 minutes from our house..most cruises are longer than that. The reception and ceremony is at the same place. All you have to do is pick up the groomsmen..take us to the venue, maybe park the car on the grass so we get photos..move it back round to the car park...lock it...come in and have a good time...

Then when you want to leave, you're more than welcome.

UPDATE:

If you do not wish to stay for the meal (which is fine..its totally up to you)

We will pay cash (we're looking at around 100 + fuel *which would probably work out about $100*)

VE SS-V Commodore with 22" alloys...but yes it is hard to beat a black R34 GTR (hehe! Thanks again Terry!)

Most happy to do it N & J.

I just have to remember to bring a little brown bag if I'm forced to follow commie - that's all...hehe

Fuel should be no more than $50 really; even less!

Come on fellahs, any other good lookin' R34 GT-Rs out there for a lovely couple? Can you arrange for a Wednesday RDO?

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
