What Persuaded You To Get A Skyline?

[32line]

i like the fact the my 32gts-t was neva sold here. so it feels like i have sumthin special on the rd. i see only a few r32's a week, which is great, i prefer them to be rare. the power is excellent, its easy to extract more power, handles awesome, great sound, and they look tuff.

My sisters mate brought one over, uncomplied. I was a v8 lover at this stage and thats the day that changed. He took me for a thrash, come flying sideways thru a roundabout and hit a brand new vt side on completly f**king the vt.

Pretty serious accident.

Wanted one ever since.

i originally had a liking for VL turbos and found out about RB engines (was 16-17 at the time) and found what they came out of. Finally went for a ride in sciby's and wnated one since

Simple

Bang for buck!!!

& since i have a 4door Manual Turbo, something different!!!

[Jdfnq]

Always wanted one.....

simple as that really.....

ever since I saw one drive around Mt Panorama...........

plus, my cousin took me for a drive in his back in 95............. I nearly came in my pants.

so I got one 3yrs ago.

uhhh 95? do u mean it was a 95 model? i have never heard of sum1 having an import till like the late 90's and that would have been a near new skyline too.. so he must have paid a small fortune for the thing back then?

well anyway my love started with gran turismo & my neighbours obsession with the r33 gt-r (at the time the latest) and have loved gt-r's ever since. When the 34 came out they just looked so fken incredible i had to have one.

was hunting for a 300zx. drove like 10 of them. then one day at a dealership i took an R33 for a drive. ummmm enough said. the choice was easy.

hey !!!!

My cuzin tony has one ?????

[gozirra]

I got mine because I've always been interested in owning something that differs from the everyday. That's why I have only ever owned imports. I chose a skyline because I liked the styling.

My father was the same, except he never got into the Japanese import scene. He has owned a couple of English imports over the years.

I'm already planning on a 2001+ Cima for my next car!

Only 1 vote for reliability

I've owned big blocks, rotaries, Oz sixes and nothing comes close to the handling, the revy power delivery, the cost of ...everything, the technical complexity, the use of japlish as a viable language in my home and the cop baiting presence of my R32 GT-R

Plus I'm old and i remember watching these things dessimate the field at bathurst...and everywhere else

So true

Skaify and Richo flogging all the other imports and locals....

i use to own a wrx and recently just bought a r32 gtr, still early stages so cant comment much about the car but ill decide how good the car is once a few of the problems is fixed.

Where's the "none of the above" in the poll?

- Owned an integra.

- Got hit hard in the side by a P plater not giving way when he was supposed to.

- Searched for an s14a to replace my baby.

- Found them all to be lacking.

- Found a stock'ish 33.

- Drove it.

- Bought it.

- Continuously modifying it.

[andylaurel]

i got it cos for 9grand, you cant go any faster!

Always loved the shape, wanted another turbo car - had a 180sx, s4 rx7 & sr20det scorpion previously

Bang for your buck was high on the list, and to me its one of the most practical coupes around

[LTHLRB]

i wanted a vl calais turbo for ages!!! and was going to build a full house one. i looked at a few and got turned of from how thrashed they were. So my brother pushed me towards a skyline, i have always loved them, so i baught one!!, never has died on me, reliable as all f***, handles great, response is great, and easy power!!

[MMM]

certainly wasnt for the power... must of been the flutter

[LTHLRB]

vls are good for flutter

[ookami]

vls are good for boat anchors too

[LTHLRB]

and good to fit a gang in with 45 degree angle hats
