its not the maintenance cost you should be worried about, its the risk that your insurance company will void your warranty if they find out you accepted money for driving people around.

well u said voiding warranty..not insurance...to me that is different.

to me thats kinda "same shit, different smell"?

lol

i guess what hes saying is kinda in sync to what i was mentioning earlier.

what i hope you realise is, its a big price your really asking for.

especially with that sort of reimbursment your offering. if you think about it...hiring a late model BMW 318i is worth alot more than everything thats going to be included from you.

this is something thats someones, hard earned money...

even if they are rich.............the rich are harder to draw blood from than a stone, i can tell you that much. Try asking your request to millionaires like the owner of Rick Damelian or the owner of Virgin blue whom are both filthy...loaded...to the extend they wont even cringe losing a million at the casino.

but yet......tell them that you are good sport in the Skylines Australia Forum...needing a car for your wedding. I guarrantee you that they will not be lending you a car for the love of god....

so once again, try and understand

epecially the way you are being so picky about it too......but yet so desperate at the same time...

if i were you and was in your position......id offer them $500, AT LEAST......minimum........for the car you are SPECIFICALLY asking for.

please dont take this as being offensive....im just letting you know how some people on here feel...

anyways...all good

..happy days!

Its all personal opinion. Some people don't mind, some people do. Ive driven plenty of cars to formals for $200 with out food (including my uncles 300k 911 porsche turbo) etc. If I had a 34 I would not mind - they only cost 50k now. Some people just like to go for a cruise in their car from a - b, but to get paid for doing so is a top bonus. If my importer has an R34 GTR at the time of your wedding and it doesnt get sold, he said I could borrow it.

This was one I was going to get for you until it got sold:

That's nice of you Jez.

If you were thinking of JapLink though, I was told by Todd and Yumi that they weren't considering getting any more R34 GTRs right now.

well my philosophy with R34 GT-R all these years was.....

the Majority of people who actually WANT that car...... CAN'T afford it. because its generally the younger people whom would want that car...

And generally for the people who CAN afford it.......DON'T end up getting a car like that.

because, for e.g at its current market value (60,000+/-).. if you really look around on the roads...theres actually ALOT of cars that is worth more than that. practically any brand new BMW 3 Series is worth that amount. Most Mercs, Audi, Lexus exceed that price too.

look at the Lexus SC430 Convertible for e.g...im sure you see them around here and there.

they look just as simple like an Honda S2000... but its worth $168,000, so that person couldve bought 2 R34 GT-Rs... but people just simply dont.

im not sure the statistics with import scene......

but it seems like the importers dont do too well with R34 GT-Rs..im guessing due to the price and recession....

coz remember the V-spec 1 bayside blue GT-R at E & M imports in Fivedock?

that was sitting there for nearly 2 years.

their prices seemd a bit high for it but then again...after the aussie dollar went kaput...it actually sits at a decent price @ 55,000$

i think importers sell alot more S15 Silvias, Skyline GTS & GT-Ts...

That's nice of you Jez.

Hey cool, you know Todd and Yumi! Top people, would not buy my car anywhere else! Yeah at the moment he has those V35's and V37 thingy's coming in. The 350GT he had was a dream to drive!

    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all
