i got a lot of the same sort of stuff from both bogan and people on here when i bought a magna. people would go on about it being fwd and it torque steering and being a heap of shit. most of them had never driven a fwd car, or if they had they were old pieces of crap. i simply justify it by saying it ran 14.8 with just a cat back exhaust. why buy a NA skyline of a commodore or falcon when i can buy a dirty old magna that is quicker than both

Guys n Girls the argument is simple:

You will ALWAYS score more in the Skyline than you will in a commonwhore...

higher quality too.

everytime your bogan hater mates are rippin on ya for buyin an n/a skyline remind them that not only do hot chicks love the skylines, but the guys are also suckers for chicks who own imports. Ask them why'd they buy the commonwhore????

haha im glad im not the only learner here. Like most people have said its your car not theirs so enjoy it :D

:P

Hah, i might just ask that question :D

hahah, touche to this thread, i got the same shit handed to me when i got my r32.. its a n/a and got a rb25.

I just laugh it off because as it has been said above, came from a commo owners mouth.

I dont know what is wrong with their breed.

Id rather own a nice rareR skyline than a shit commo with a UNIT sticker.

p plate skylines owner ftw man. :)

and another point, turbo models always f**k up.. and they cost so much money.

I admire the challenge of making a N/A as fast as a turbo'd model.. stock one of course.

And my r32 dicks on my mates commos.. every time ive gone head to head with one ive been ages head the whole way and always creeping further away :)

When I got my first R34 there was a $35K difference between the 25GT and GTt....that explains my choice :)

I got the R34 as it was only 3 years old and they were still very rare on Australian roads, very happy with the choice I made back then

Well we are a rare breed, not many young people get a skyline coz of $$.. a commo you can get for a grand... or less!

N/A still rips commos.

and its a good starting point.

i still <3 my GTS and just cant wait for GTSt

Yup, and have the looks to back it up :ninja: Gts-t oneday... or even GTR :)

I use to get that alot... "Why have a skyline when it isn't turbo? It's shit" til they either take a cruise in it or try drag me and get blown away in their vt-vz. Beats any other car when your a P-plater.

Plus most commodores have the handling of a bus, look like a hippo-turtle hybrid, and not to mention every man and his dog family driving to grandmas on the weekend in one.

I love my N/A although when I'm off my P's I'd really love a turbo.

When I was driving home today I had some P plater bogan in a ute yell out "Yeee Haw" as he drove by me. I honestly think he insulted himself more with that call.

Had a big shiny silver flat tray on the back that I swear didn't have a scratch on it too. I'll never understand people who buy utes with no intention of using the tray.

Just sold my N/A just now.

Missing it so much already. saw it driving away and it looked so hot low to the road. shining in the sun. with a big fat exhaust in the back :)

I remember after buyin it. so many random people complementing my car at shopping centers. and the best thing of all is that everyone who saw my car thought it was a Turbo lol hahaha

These CommonWhores are everywhere and there will be nothing new in driving it. atleast in a sky you get to see people admiring your car.

Maybe i need another Skyline :ninja:

Haha... I don't think girls have anything to do with owning a Skyline but ok. At least it doesn't work for me.

To the comment about the UNIT stickers on Commodores, HAHAH I think no matter what state/city in Australia you are in, you'll find MANY of these around.

pfft I saw a barina this morning sprayed in a golden-ish coloured metallic paint, dark tints, a unit sticker on the rear windshield, and not one but TWO canons under the rear bar... of course they were mounted so that they face out to the sides on an angle from the middle *rolls eyes* slowest thing on the road too! had some sticker on his front windshield as well... I didn't get a good look at it though, it wasn't in my rear view mirror for long.

oh and it wasn't the swift style barina either, it was one of the ones after it, the real chick looking rounded models.. and yes a guy was driving it.

I know earlier i said a car enthusiast is a car enthusiast, regardless of what car you like and drive... but c'mon...

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
