Who cares if old people drive Skylines. They are not reserved for young people. Besides, in Japan every Grandpa Joe around the corner drives one.

And about Melbourne West...yes it is dominated by Holden and Ford. But there are a heck of a lot of skylines......lots. Especially R33's. Lots of R32's and a few 34's.

i'm in the north-west and i agree that over here its dominated by the likes of VN-VR comodores with the occasional camry and falcon thrown in.

i rekon i see an r32 once every 2 weeks and that includes driving all the way to clayton each day for uni. but for r33's... well i see at least 5 every day!

for all those who see never see men driving r32's, well you obviously havn't seen me then... i ain't no sheila!

Seen 1, that's right 1 R34 GTR ever. I remember coming on here when i saw it and started a thread, i thought there was like 1 or 2 in Melbourne.... i was "slightly" wrong :P Still only seen the 1 tho.

I see shit all skylines where i live (see location) And as for rs73 comments, i reckon ur spot on. I'm 19 but will def get a R34 GTR later on in life, and if that's 30 then so be it (altho i'm aiming to have my ass in one A LOT younger :D). Also planning on having a E46 M3 Next to it, and tell me you see young ppl drive those!! I reckon i see more M3's than skylines round my place... not that it's a bad thing :)

Oh and i RARELY see R34 GT-T's.

Hell no!!! There is nothing wrong with you owning a R33 S2 being middle aged. More the better i say!! Just proving that ppl are realising just how good a Skyline is, especially the turbo ones :)

Oh and welcome to the forums lukas! There is a Great Ocean Road cruise happening soon, if u go to the "Events" in the Vic section, there is some info there.

cheers.

Are u importing or buying locally?

There is also a "Sau Vic Forum Goers" thread, just a little info about most of the Victorian Skylines Australia members.

cheers.

was the R34GTR silver???? It's the ONLY R34GTR i've ever seen and it was silver turning from Nepean hwy into Dendy st, so heading off to Brighton. U live around bayside way too Rab??

old lady driving it???!!!?? Man that would have been weird to see, even weirder if she was gunning it! :D Actually, i think that would be pretty cool!

but as a group they are really wack

...um HELLO HONDA DRIVERS ....enuff said :(

actually, i reckon anybody younger than me shouldn't be driving on the roads, for that matter, anybody older than me shouldn't be driving on the roads either. But I am just "perfect"... lol .. isn't that the REAL way everybody thinks when it comes down to it?

but 1 thing i noticed on the roads is that there a lot of middle to older age men and ladies driving the imported toyota soarer.....

I agree with that... Me and a few mates were at the Safeway carpark in Clarinda and saw a Soarer. While looking at it, this grey, old man who could barely walk got in and sped off, we were all thinking wtf? Wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
