Hi guys, happy new year to all

has anyone taken their skyline, particularly lowered ones, onto the ferry at Wiseman's ferry? Just wondering if there would be any problem about boarding it as I dont have any other car and plan to camp there at the del rio camp ground

Thanks

we all took the ferry..

lots of low low cars.. no one had any problems

there is a bit fo a disscuission in that thread some where as well

just as long as you take it on an angle, youll have no probs

It also depends on whether it is high tide or low tide. If it's low tide you've got buckleys chance of getting on. High tide it's pretty easy.

Silver GTST's car has been on the ferry, but if I remember correctly he told me his front bar did touch and scrape. His front bar is a genuine GTR bar though, and is *plastic* that bends and returns to shape, unlike fibreglass bars that will just bend then snap.

    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
    • Wow! how times change 2017 $15k seems expensive... now $30-$50k is the price.
