Well I got on there & sorted 'em out. Of course, I am one of them as well, but I need a tow car & the carbon fibre diffuser under the R34 gets in the way of the towbar!!!

We will have to watch out when they all start throwing big turbos on them though - seems all the dyno comp guys are running turbo

injected V8s. At least when it gets twisty we'll be gone.

"What can I say. I recently sold my ClubSport to buy a Skyline! The performance is unbeatable. It was a week of driving before I could get out of the car without shaking from adrenaline. Its not just a straight-line machine either. The cornering performance just has to be experienced to be believed. The HICAS (electronic 4 wheel steer) will change your life. A '93 Skyline has more features than a '98 clubsport! (climate control, electronics, lock system, etc etc etc). I'm totally sold on the skylines. You look at these cars, read the specs and think 'wow', but honestly, that does them no justice. You just can't imagine what they are like. Do yourself a favour, find a good Skyline driver, and ask for a ride. They aren't called Godzilla for nothing..."

Hardly does it justice, but how do you describe to a Holden owner what a Skyline is like? Its like trying to describe sex to a virgin...

I think it's funny in that thread there is someone saying "2 many R33's round these days" in a Commodore forum!

hahahahahahahahahahahhaaaa

It would be good for US if skylines were so common in a way.. we would get heaps of cheap parts etc :P and cheap insurance!!!

ahhh well its nice to dream

Guilt-Toy, I don't care that R33's are common either, but I do get annoyed to hear the "R33's are everywhere" thing, when they are still far far short of Commodores and Camries and Falcons etc. No one ever comments on that, not even me because I really don't give a toss :P

I thought they were very open in there comments and most of them did not cut imports down like they normally do. I loved my SS when I had it but my skylines is a much nicr and faster car to drive but I'm sorry, you just cant beat that V8 roar. (except a GTR with open external watergates)

Good on you guys.

they have been quite good on there actually. i'm keeping an eye on the post. they know they cant match a skyline for performance. they complain about 'riced' cars, with wings etc. mods to make a slow car look better, but what about all the dunny lids on commodore bonnets!?! and the stupid wings (like hrt bathurst size wings), and other half assed mods (under chassis lights, where only one side works). they are way worse than 'riced' jap cars. its just so common everyone's used to it

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
