That's a good question.

One day, my friend's dad told me about how this car couldn't compete in the V8s because of a rule change. And I was like hey this car must be pretty ****ing sweet if it kicks the shit outa supercars! Then I started looking them up a lot on the net and by this point I didn't know the difference between 32, 33, 34 (not to mention 30, 31).

So I initially liked skylines because of the Rs in that they are an amazing car both in a straight line and around the corners. Then i learned about the other GT's and found there's more to skylines than GTRs.

/end pointless talking.

trade mark round tail lamps, jap technology, sexy, fast

Not that I own one yet, but I like them coz I want something unique, I'm sorta in country VIC and a 4-door GTS would look hot out here among all the bloody holdens and fords

ya gotta also love 'em for their reliability (a common thing with all jap cars; they're as though as nails)

oh, and ya gotta love a car that knows the value of AWD

loved em since I saw em at bathurst in 1990 and 1991 (my cuz used to take me to it)... and I figured when i grew up I wanted a sierra or a gtr.

As fate would have it my first car was an import (a toyota sera), as was my second car (a strawberry face 180). So naturally by then I was hooked on imports... so a skyline would be the ultimate dream. I haven't got that Bathurst GTR yet, but one day...

I like em coz they're efficient, technologically advanced for their time, cheap to maintain and a great car to drive. Oh and very responsive to mods, which are also relatively cheap n bountiful. I like the fact that its a modular car, every single part on it can be upgraded to better aftermarket parts.

Ever since I was small I've liked gettin accessories n upgrades. Its like buying a toy and then building it to some mean ass beast, you get to pick what to upgrade, and by how much.

Me too... since Bathurst '91/'92.

As Dave says, you can't go wrong with one. And I've officially fallen in love with the V35... yes, you heard me!:)

And what does your wife think about having to share your love with a hunk of metal? :)

i know what type of milf owned your car.. a milf with a turbo charged skyline and a "fully sick" bov just to show off to the young ones then did stuff in the back seats with em :)

Mines a slightly modified (exhaust wise) non turbo

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
