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.

Hi

Buying locally

Don't know if Im doing the right thing specially if you dont know much about sport cars.

But I'll take the risk, have test driven and feels great.

Problem is i dont have anyone to give me a little advise what should I look for when buying Skyline.

I agree with Horus a lot of excel drivers are crazy. I hate when excels with a fart pipe and riced up appearance try and go me. I can't resist... :rolleyes:

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?

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.

    • Hi I wanted to see if anyone knows the name of the OEM R32 rims because I can't find it anywhere
    • Gates is saying the same thing. They think I have the right bag with the wrong hose in it... I bought it off amazon, I'm thinking someone pulled a good old swapparoo and returned normal hose. Well looks like she's coming back out... Not very lucky with this hose lol. 
    • Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead
    • Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.
    • It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10
