woo hoo, we'll be able to 0wn silver-arrowz down the straight at EC if he goes for a NA v8! Yay!

My blood boils when I see threads like this.

My friend spoke to an exhaust fitter the other day, he recommended getting a WRX because there are way more R33's then WRX's around.............

Bottom line is: IF YOU WANT A UNIQUE CAR GO BUY A FERRARI. DONT COME ON HERE TELLING US ABOUT HOW MANY SKYLINES YOU SEE IN A DAY.

Two40: I think you need some thicker glasses if you think there are 3 times as many R33's to HSV's. Ohh and I have owned a V8......won't go back in a hurry and I won't be buying some 70's heap that will brake down any spare chance it gets.

My next car will be 6 wheel drive coupled to 2 V8 quad cam/quad turbocharged supercharged air/air/water intercooled fitted to the latest 8 speed straight cut gearbox fitted with 2 LSD ten plated clutch with a .00000001kg flywheel with 30inch fully sik rims and the aerodynamic package of the Williams FW25 with michelin tyres and a supershort wheel base that makes the mini look like a limo! :)

Seriously, I'm going back to basics with the next car. I want to learn control of the car (hint: must have excellent chassis). Not just mash the pedal to the floor.

just my observation. no need to get worked up over it.

tosh, you and me both. as homer would say... hgrrrrrr

silver, i'll have one of those but make mine with a softer clutch. bit of a pain driving it every day.:)

seriously now, are you guys like against newbies comming here and asking questions? Dam sorry if i upsetted you 2fardown, how about you get over yourself.

I'm 18, a young skyline fan that plans on getting one someday. so whats the big deal if I'm askin some "mature", experienced skyline owners some newbie questions?

Staunch,,,,It's all cool buddy,,,you sturred the pot and got a great

reaction.

33's are by far the most common,,,but then again they are the best looking. 32's look dated and 34's only look good in Yellow and Blue. Sorry but Black is just a priick of a colour.

Some might think Skylines are getting more common by the day,,,but the fact remains You can't buy a better performance car for such a small outlay.

don't sweat. you've started a valid and very good topic. some people are bound to get worked up.

good point neil. the value for money was what drew me towards skylines. now if only the insurance would come down by 50%.

i still remember when i got my skyline exactly 3 years ago. they were so rare that when i used to rolled in the city people used to turn around again and again just to see it.

often the reactions "oh my god!!" just came up from no where which made me so proud that i made the right decision buying her.

once and ill never forget on Oxford street i was stuck at a crossing, a group of mid 20's young men just stood there in front the car not letting me go just to appreciate it.

its a shame they are defined as "HOON CARS" these days.

but ill take another or two skylines any day.

R34 GT-R's are still rare, think ive only ever seen 2 on the road, thats after being a skyline enthusiast for about a year or so. Both of them were in the city, 1 in chinatown and 1 on parramatta road. i often see GT-T's tho, but still pretty rare.

    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
