Hey guys, My names Racqel.

I am looking for someone to kindly let me use their car (they can obviously drive it) for my formal, which is in November (2011).

It will be driven around the Wollongong area, to the photos, then to the formal, that is all.

I am willing to pay 100-200 dollars, for an hour.

I am looking for a clean silver GTR (R35)

or a 34 gtr.... if it's nice enough :P

please get back to me ASAP!

"I am willing to pay 100-200 for an hour"

Is the above said paragraph separate from the rest of the thread? If so, may we gentlemen relay what other services 'er extras we can offer for that price and within that time frame?

Ok, here's a constructive comment for a change;

There's very little R35's around in the entire country, then again the section of those that is silver is smaller again. So the chances are pretty small.

On top of that, the chances are that if one was available and in Silver, they'd live in Sydney. So out of the $200 on offer, they'd be making $150 after expenses...

....but the biggest issue? Someone with an R35, which is worth over 100k, probably has plans that dont involve formal runs.

Sorry to be blunt.

You're better off to find a nice R34 GTR (and there's certainly a few of them on here) and make the offer to the owner. If you find one with a big exhaust and cams it will sound downright angry and lets face it, you want it to stand out in the crowd and have a better car than your friends - the sound of a tuned RB26 at idle with cams will sound so much better than the usual formal cars like H2 hummers, S class Merc's etc, believe me that will grab attention.

Here's something I took my mates sister in to her formal a few years ago, this thing sounds great and there wasn't a single person in that line not looking at it. Sounded a million times better than the other cars there on the day;

End of the day, you'll have better luck finding an R34 GTR. Good luck with it.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
