Hey guys,

Our school formal is in August this year and I really could not think of a better way to turn up than in one of these beautiful creations. So I was wondering if anyone with a skyline (preferably 34) would be willing to do this, all you would have to do is drop me and maybe 1 or 2 other people off at the formal.

Price could be discussed at a later date.

Please let me know if you could or know someone who could, it would be absolutely amazing :)

Throw it up as a cruise. Ie get a whole bunch of skylines to rock up, pick the best one to ride in and the others as "escort". 300zx club did this in ACT last year, no one asked for payment - 2 cars actually came all the way from Sydney for the cruise.

Ditto that - impressive and fun.

Edit: From memory outside of the person who wanted a Skyline I beleive a number of others at the time decided to go in the other lines.

We did one from q'town to Rydges Lakeside and another from Aranda/Weetangra to the Convention Centre.

One corner comming out of the belco suburb all the lines drifted a little slidewayz. it had sprinkled a lil rain.:whistling:

I know you said you want a Skyline and plenty of others are offering for free, but just in case you have mates or whatever that need a ride... I do formals (and weddings) in this, 1970 Dodge Challenger 440ci 6 Pack R/T:

Normally charge $250 but since it's not peak would do it for $200.

Otherwise I have the R32 GTR but never done a formal in one:

Heck yeah that things a weapon. I miss my old mustang everyday. Wish I never got rid of it.

I'd be happy to do the formal thing. Used to do them all the time on my previous cars. Mines not a GTR or anything just a tidy looking GTST but still a bit of fun.

What about a white wide body s15 silvia? My bro owns the car, and he would easily be willing to do a formal run, although it's probably best he only takes one person in his car considering it's pretty crammed in the back. 1999 Jap Spec R fitted with a c-west front, veilside front fenders, veilside sides, veilside wide rears, and veilside rear kit. The wheels will be painted soon (apparently) matte black centres with a gloss black lip. Right now it's kind of princess spec laugh.gif . He wouldn't charge much at all, maybe just a little bit towards petrol. Let me know what you think.

      Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.

      Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By PranK · Posted

      The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage.

      Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)

      R33 gtst gearbox top barb

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
