I'm Over Jap Cars

[Do-Luck]

I hear what you're saying, but due to the age of the 180sx now the fact it's probably not as strongly built (no offence intended) as some of their other nissan counterparts (mainly v-series, rb-series) you're no doubt going keep burning a hole in your pocket. Been there with the 180 and the exa's, they were money pits. The soarer, lexus and skyline's however have been the most reliable cars i've owned. So you can't really discount jap cars based on the experience of one car (not saying that's the case with you).

Not entirely true, I'm spending money on modifying it. It's been an almost perfect car otherwise (besides a few little minor problems such as a stuffed water pump). The money I'm spending at the moment on it is to hopefully turn it into a dedicated track car, which I want to finish by mid year.

[Howie]

Fair enough then. Wasn't quite clear from your post.. if that's the case any car, euro or jap, could be considered a money pit if you've got the bug.

if you want some nice seats...go get them custom'd with better leather...although the new BMW leather is kinda special...anyone who has been into BMW lately and asked them about it will know what I mean.

You cant buy class...expensive shit cars with no real style doesnt equal class. if you think you will be more classy with a BMW and you go buy a 3 series your as dumb as the next f**ker who bought one. you either have money or you dont, if having a car cos people may think your more classy gets you going...then you have been sold the dream...

i say put a gts badge on your gtr...call the bluff

For sure, then watch all the WRX's and SS commo's line up to be eaten alive.

When you refer to a 3 Series what are you refering to? 3 Series is the whole range. 320i, 320d, 323i, 325i, 335i, 318, 320, 325, 330???

Anyways thats what GTR owners think of GTST owners "your as dumb as the next f**ker who bought one, you either have real power or you don't"

well said mate. actually that's what others think. "oh im really cool coz i have a skyline with gtr kits here and there." it's only gts-t afterall.

i used to drive R33 GTS-T and merc 180 kompressor. but get real the skylineis 10 years or so shit box,it has shit interior and rattle noise everywhere. well the good side it has good power when you modify it. but now im moving on...

anyway 335i will eat gts-t for breakfast lunch and dinner...

new VS old

expensive pos VS bang for buck

it just doesnt work mate

[benkoau]

i was thinking the same thing the other day when i went to the motorshow,sitting in expensive audi's a few saab's and i hate to admit to it but the volvo was nice aswell looking at their new dash designs and plush leather seats softer materials on the dash...aswell as their awesome satnav and all of those systems built in it made the skyline look average

when i got home i sat in the skyline and went uuuuugggggghhhhhh.

Then i went for a drive the next day felt the turbo rush realised i wasnt looking at the dash,then i change gear hearing the whoosh in between gears realised i wasnt paying attention to the fact i didnt have leather seats.....then i hammered it and it bought a smile to my face.

euro cars are only good when they're the top of the line models aside from that you get ashmatic heap of crap 4 cylinders. you have to spend decent money to get something thats only half way quick IMO

i know its supposed to b bout comfort as you get older and speed isnt as important but i think you have a skyline for a reason

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

If you drive a 450AWkw GTR, you can just sit and laught at all the exotic euros.

[KezR33]

I love the S2000, I reckon they're a classy car with a bit of guts that would be great to drive. Even the RX8 or 350Z are pretty nice IMO.

I love the Evos too, especially the Evo IX, but all the mock ups on the road would shit me. I'd probably lose my license burning past everyone I saw just to prove a point.

Agreed, Please laugh on my behalf.

Thankyou

Who else is feeling the same symptoms?

They just don't seem to have that "classy" or "elegant" touch in them, no matter what car or what brand, it's still a Jap car end of the day.

When driving around in Melbourne's higher class suburbia, you feel like a foreigner in your Jap vehicle.

Got to love this new 3 series coupe.

LMFAO

come to my area bro and you'll see BMW 3 series are just as common as a skyline so i woudn't go saying they are classy. Everyone in taylors lakes / keilor drives one and they are all wankers (excuse the language). It makes me sick cos they all think they are something special. In my opinion if you want to drive something Euro and claim to be classy buy something over 150K like an M3 or M5 or maybe even a Porche 911 GTRS and then claim to be classy. Dont go buy some 70K 3 series beema like everyone else and drive around like your all that like some dickheads do ( no offence to you by the way). Oh and it always makes me smile when I hear about the "prestigious" cars being outdone by the little old jap cars hehehehe. (ie. a mate in a 200sx outran a Ferrari F430) $15K car with 'sum' work vs a $450K car. who would want to waste all that money???

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Agreed, Please laugh on my behalf.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Redback]

sounds like you're trying to ' keep up with the jones's.' does it really matter what other people think about what car you drive.

if you drive an modified import you're pigeon holed as a hoon, if you drive a prestige car you pigeon holed as a snob.

I drive a Celsior/ls400 does that make me a hoon or a snob.... or a bit of both....

[Matty1989]
