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????

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...

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By isf · Posted

      The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol

      Mine's a bit bigger at 70x150mm roughly. The spots are flat, just can feel the edges if I dig my nail into it. I did fix some other other ones by both using my finger to sand that small spot (I'm a bit wary of doing this and creating hot spots and a bigger mess) and I also did sand over it flat and others, but this also worried me a bit because if I create an overall low spot on the panel on paint that is good.  Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as it's flat even if I can feel the edges, I can put filler because it will all be level once I sand it? I can see myself going in a circle after sanding guidecoat with 320 grit if for example the panel is flat with my hand but because I sanded the guidecoat I could have created a low spot again somewhere. Unless where I'm going wrong is what I mentioned previously where I didn't go low enough on the grits. It's 1 step forward and 2 step backwards here haha. I'll probably need to experiment with it more. Last time I go back to bare metal lol.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Thanks for the details mate , for me I think being a daily driven and happy with a basic tune (630Nm and 310kw) . Seems to be working well I just put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 should help put the power down. I'm going to start looking a brakes and LSD in the future so I might reach out to you on options to upgrade the brakes. Cheers - Dee

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By isf · Posted

      I have a HR34 GT... RB20DE My speedo doesn't work! The rest of the gauges seem to work, fuel and RPM. I did not notice if my odometer was going up when driving last.  Any ideas? Speed sensor? Hopefully atleast... Gauge cluster perhaps? Or is that unlikely because the other gauges are working?   Any insight is appreciated. This is a rather new to me car. Lol
