Look a skyline, another, another! another?

[Staunch]

I for one adore skylines even though i dont have one, and i definetly know you guys too but what i've been noticing lately is a bit disturbing and sometimes discourages me from getting one.....they are everywhere!!! Woodville & Parra RD garenteed to see at least 10. In a way its good but then again it kills me!

[Nismodified]

yep. the bandwagon it starting to look like a tin of sardines..

[walkoau]

once someone sees a good thing they want part of it!!!!!

[two40]

one word.

taxi

[B-Man]

Yeah - Common as dog fu(k !

I'm gonna get me a unique car one of these day !

But I'll still keep the Skyline cause they are the shit !

:burnout:

[carlo]

Pfft..

yeah they might be everywhere, but the good part is 90% of people who have one love them. Unlike most cars where people buy them to get from a to b..

I think we have a fantastic skyline population

[Staunch]

it upsets me nothing is quite unique as a skyline. GOD DAMMIT!

[Airzone]

Well as I recall correctly from a comment made on a certain performance commadore forum, skylines are in fact more common than commadores.

It was bound to happen.. Evolution and survival of the fittest

dig @ commadore lovers>

I gotta agree here.

I was here when SAU started and it was quiet. I was lucky if I saw an r33 once a week.

Now SAU is very very busy and I see an r33 once at day. AT LEAST

But in the end, so what? When you drive you heavily habibified Skyline do you care???

Does it lessen your enjoyment?

Are you happy now that a Skyline headlight is not $900 like it was a while ago?

I don't think driving any other sort of car would have the same level of support and community as the Skyline.

[hippy]

i agree ... it just makes owning the skyline cheaper .. meaning more mods to be had .. so even more enjoyment ... and yeah so what if every man and his brother has one ... why can't we all enjoy it

[Hiroshima Screamer]

ahhh yes society follows the lead , i remember a time when you would say skyline and ppl would say " hell no!and or is that an import!? " but now even kids in high school are getting them as 1st cars

[Staunch]

point SKYLINEGTR, but i also like what tonygts said. Guess it does benefit us anyway. I'm in high skool and my mate has an R32 GTS. Love catchin a lift off him Then again he doesn't care if there are alot of skylines around, he just wants an R32 GTR eventually and hes happy.

[RAIDER]

if it isnt a r34 GTR i dont look anymore

seen some real cheap ass ones

like dodgey bodykits and all that

look terrible

some nice rides out there however

got to love bang for your bucks

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I have a skyline GTST. love it, I don't care if I roll up to a cruise and there are 4 more line mine there, cause we mod differently and am happy just to talk to them about there cars and how they go. I went to a bathurst cruise not long ago and i saw 10 or more R33's, I was the only R32 there full stop!. loved it, so obviously some models are more popular than others. They are great cars and like Tony said, there is a great community of skyline lovers around australia.

so who cares if there more common then a commodore, I spoke to a guy who had an R33 there the other night, he said he sold his VS SS commodore to get it, so it just proves how much more Popular they are.

not selling my skyline for anything short of a GTR

Amen

Well, I'd also probably sell it if for some reason I needed a sensible family car for a kid *cough*4dr r33 gts25t*cough*

[two40]

would any of you like to own a v8 one day or a rotary? i mean, you've done the turbo thing and yeah it's great but there's a different feeling driving an 8 vs a rotary vs a turbo. you never know until you try it and having tried 2 out of 3 i'd have to say they both have their advantages. now, who wants to lend me a rotary that runs?

[akira]

I think that if you are looking out for skylines, then you will tend to notice lots of skylines......

Just like Bogans would tend to notice HSVs more on the streets......its just a matter of perspective

Statistics would indicate more HSVs and WRXs on the streets of sydney compared to Skylines, but I know which I would rather be driving

[chaos]

i dont own a line i see em all the time and yet i still cant take my eyes of em even if there stock as a rock im lookin forward to the day i can cruise in my own

Very true about the perspective thing Akira but I'd have to dissagree with you about your statistics comment. Which statistics are these and where can I see them? These days for every HSV there are 3 Skylines (and you can bet I'm not coming from a biased viewpoint). It's very obvious and it doesn't take statistics to see it. As far as performance cars are concerned Skylines are outnumbering every other car. Not that it's a bad thing. At least parts are getting cheaper therefore insurance will drop and more choices when buying one etc etc.

I'd like to try a MY00 WRX just for the 4wd ability. I like the look, sound and shape of WRX's and they are in my price range (which an R33 GTR is not).

I think a decent powered v8 would scare the shit out of me with the instant power. I'd spend more time on the footpath then on the road haha.
