Hey :(

I just bought a R33 GTS... and i am absolutely in love with it :(

But like ive herd off a couple of friends "Why even buy a skyline if its not turbo" not to my face of course.. :D

Like they are commonwhore owners.. like vn's.. is it coz i dont fit in.. f**K! im sorry i dont have sagging doors like you guys. geesh.. ... im sorry my rb sounds decent.. i could go on and on..

But yeah i just had to be different and not get a holden liek everyone else.. hell i could have bought like 5 of them.. But ive love'd the shape of r33's for like 5 years now.. Best damn p-plater car ive seen. Like you holdens arnt v8's? or charged... so ha

So yeah, just me blowing steam... coz people cant say what they think to my face... :( Sour grapes i say..lol

You guys have common experiences? Show me some skyline love :)

Nick. :(

lol dw most commodore drivers are like that, some seem to think they;re the top street machine in a dumped vt with chopped springs. even though i drive around in mums VE SV6 black with dark rims aswel, still pretty tough.

JAP all the way though

Haha i have heard that before.

i also have the GTS TYPE S non turbo

After i bought it, most of my friends asked why i bought a Non Turbo and whats teh point.

Its not that fast but its still faster than most N/A's out there.

Plus they look way better than most cars for sure.

lol get used to it from whore owners. i think youl find that your NA will put the smack down on all but the worked V8s haha. Just wait till you see the look on there face when a engine half the capacity in size beats them :)

Nothing wrong with a Non-turbo mate, as long as you love your Skyline then it doesn't matter :)

I love it heaps.. i some time catch my self staring at it... just standing there.. then im like.. hey wait a minute im supposed to be doing something.. lol

It's your car, not their's... be proud of you N/A Skyline :) It doesn't matter what you drive, a car enthusiast is a car enthusiast regardless of make or model.

I have the same love my skyline before the turbo as i do after it. :) It was also great fun driving it as an N/A too.. just cause the majority of skylines are turbocharged doesn't make it any less a skyline! I hate that sort of mentality.

edit: speelling

geelong is full of commowhore drivers like that - take a look at eastern beach on a fri/sat night :)

comparing my NA R34 to all the NA commos i've driven (VN, VS, VX, VY), most are auto, and aren't much cop anyway!

Lol, easterns is full of them.. :) . Your from around there?

i love my lil N/A

i chop heaps of shizz all the time - but i dont worry to much about it (or try not too anyway) - alot of the people that pay me out think they are cool for it.....but in the end my girl does me proud - with 18 trophies to her name :) :)

chuck me a NA skiz over a v6 holden anyday

least you can chuck on some coilovers and swaybars and chop up corners

commo's are good for fark all

Soo true, like i used to want to get a classy vx calais.. but my dad was like... "old mans car..."

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
