I think I have worked out the top reasons people get skylines

1. Performance

2. After Market Parts

3. Body Styling (unless you own a R33 :mellow: )

4. Fast and Furious

5. They think it will pick up chicks.....

What makes me love skylines?

I really only like GTR's to be honest, GTST's dont "do it" for me

I love the way a tuned GTR with good suspension can just murder a corner, awd launch at 8000rpm, so easy to do get loads of power out of, smash uber expensive Euro's around the track....

"SOOOooooo many 32 owners with small man syndrome."

Allow me to put the quotes on that for you.

bang for buck for my particular hoare, massive bang in all deptartments for the $$$ i paid to attain and keep her. I enjoy raping her across the rev range. driving it is a rollercoaster and brings a smile out of me that comes from somewhere inside.

I love the the fact that nothing else could give me the fun, performance and future potential for the money I paid. And the fact that I can drive it everyday.

However does anyone else get weird/aprehensive responses when you tell peple you love your car and thats it's a skyline? Most people seem to go oh........a skyline.............ok. They seem to make an instant mental not that you are a hoon, out to slaughter innocents on the road whenever you can.

I think you'll find it's not because you have a whale..

it's because you admit to having intimate feelings/emotions about a vehicle.

or it could be that they immediately assume you also like Fat chicks which is a sick thought on it's own.

They're all like "oh.. you "love" your r33 skyline hey?"

they're thinking "what a sick bastard.. I bet he get's his end wet in fat chicks too... *shudder*"

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      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.
