So,

if you either have to sell the skyline to upgrade or downgrade - what would you get?

or if you need a new daily driver? what are you going to get? and why?

The mx5 - well I dont see myself replacing that for a few years, however my daily - 1995 bluebird I cannot wait to get rid of!

Im looking to buy my old mans VXii Berlina V6 - so comfy, 80k on clock, immaculate condition!

Im sick of manual for daily driving in traffic!

I just bought a 32 GTR

but I dont know how practical it is for daily driving its more a weekend car for me :)

so might get and 2nd car that I dont have to worry about too much when parked or in shopping centres.

maybe a s13 non turbo manual :)

can have a little fun on a track with it aswell

If i was to sell the 32 i'd prob get a supra tt or possibly an evo 7,8,9. Always loved the supras. I've got a sprinter for a 2nd car and its alright. Stock 4ac atm though so its gutless but can still have a bit of fun. Is much better on fuel than the 32 also. Cant wait to do an engine conversion on it :)

im thinking a falcon ute once the fail-line is finished...need a good car to tow with as im not confident using the cressida for big trips with 2 ton of racecar and trailer hanging off the back....

Or a Toyota Aristo...mmmm 2jz + luxury + towing ability = win

R34 GTT or R33 GTR or if cbf with imports I'll probably grab one of the million SS como taxis floating around.

or if you need a new daily driver? what are you going to get? and why?

My current R33 makes a great daily driver, if I were to change to a local car then again proabably be one of those 2000 model SS commos seems to be the only thing with decent power for <$10k other than more imports. Also has 4 doors & a big boot for shopping duties.

so whats your next car going to be??

Probably a R34 GTT.

If we win a decent amount but not rediculous on tatslotto. Then an R35 gtr and an Audi family car.

Otherwise. If i was to change the family car. Maybe a newer model statesman or something along those lines. Really wouldn't worry me as I don't get much enjoyment out of driving them.

I may get rid of the R33 gts-t one day. Most likely if I ever get another performance car I will save up and wait another 20 years for my planned midlife crisis and get something more exotic and leave it standard.

Unless I win the jackpot I have no intentions of buying a new car in the near future for hobby purposes.

WAS going to be sooner rather than later but priorities change once you buy property...

in <2 years either keep my current car & buy an r34 GTR for trackdays

OR sell both cars i own & get an R35

OR if the stars align & I get hunkered down then a sedan of some description for a family, possibly a v36 sedan if they eventually approve them for import

yes I am a one eyed datsun fanboi

I own 2 Skylines; a R33 GTS and now a R33 GTR Vspec. Both of which have been modifyed to the point where they are no longer practical cars to drive everyday.

I have always wanted a daily driver V8 and what better choice than a FPV BF MKII GTP semi-auto. I'd have to go for the auto option because, living in Syndey has made me realise that, no one in sydney ever 'drives' to thier destination.....they simply 'crawl' to it as the traffic and road quality in Sydney is disgustingly bad. Driving manuals through Sydney traffic is a painful experience (especially with a twin plate clutch), the 6 speed auto offered by FPV just gives the best of both worlds.

With that said, I think a comfy Aussie V8 with a lazy 6 speed auto tranny would have to be the next vehicle of choice. Its got a great sound, its comfy as, the parts a cheap and available from everywhere and now that I'm 25+ I won't have any problems getting insurance as I did with the Skylines.

......maybe a nice Defillipo quad tip exhaust to go with it :P

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
