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.

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? :)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
