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

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
