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.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
