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.

Pickig my R33 s2 in two or three weeks.

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.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
