Greetings...or g'day. My name's Evan, I'm here from New York visiting Australia and Sydney for a bit. Life-long motoring enthusiast with a particular affection for Honda (hence the username), but with a soft spot for Nissan as well.

As you probably know, we are not so fortunate as to have GT-R's aside from R35's in the States. I've had the opportunity to command a few R35's back home, and don't get me wrong, they are amazing machines. But the R32, R33 and particularly the R34 are the stuff of legends are made of.

That said, I was wondering if anyone here would be kind enough to take me for a spin in their GT-R on one of your world renowned mountain roads. Not asking to drive, just a ride at the hands of someone who knows how to drive their machines...without killing me.

In addition to fulfilling the wishes of an appreciative yank, the experience will be featured on a popular blog that a few of my mates and I run back home, IvyLeagueEast: wwww.ivyleagueeast.com. We have a pretty large audience so you'll get a bit of exposure, including about 85,000 likes on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IvyLeagueEast

Please post or message if you're interested. Located in Sydney Inner West.

I'm also attending the Bathurst Motor Festival this weekend. If you're gonna be around that way give me a shout, would love to shoot the shite with a few locals as well.

Few pics attached. One of me behind the wheel of an R34 M-Spec, the first RHD car I drove here (complete with shit eating grin). Others of my own Nissan's back home: '13 Fairlady 370z with Volk Re-30, coils, pipes, etc.; '73 240z; not pictured an SR swapped S13 with GT28 and bolt ons that I built with a few of my mates.

      High temp brake fluid?

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
