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!

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.

T.

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

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 :D Then again he doesn't care if there are alot of skylines around, he just wants an R32 GTR eventually and hes happy.

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 ;):D

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?

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 :cool:

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.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
