[GTR Grey Ghost]

Hi there, have a bub on the way, will keep my GTR however am considering a 4 door skyline of some sort, would love an RB26 combo but am sure that they are few and far between. Should I import a newy, R34 Neo Turbo, what are your thoughts, cheers

Lets move away from the Stagea, am considering 4 Door R34, what are these Neo Turbos like, in comparison to the others, no only really of the RB26's having a GTR, advice please

Why not got an NA GTS4 and drop an rb26 in. AWD auto for the wife. RB26 auto launching power for your self.

But an R34 4 door turbo will still be fun for you, probably the most practical if you need to get a 4 door skyline. They definately have enough room even when full, so your baby seat and groceries in the back etc will be fine.

teach your wife to drive manual?

[Adriano]

TBH buy a normal car. I made this mistake buying an import for my wife. She never boots it, it goes through heaps of fuel, and you cant get cheap insurance.

After had second kid, couldn't do two door any more, got an r34 gt-t. Heaps of room the wife can drive it (handy after a few bevos) but enough fun to have a lash in. Not heaps around but norm at a good price as every boy wants a 2 door manual. Mine $12,500, auto, 71,000ks. To good, would recommend!

[bozodos]

just make her learn to drive a manual lol!

[scotty nm35]

My suggestion is to buy the pram you want now and make sure it fits, and that your wife can get it in the boot easily. The second child will probably force you into a wagon or van so choose wisely.

tow hook!

just hook the prams to the tow hook and you get to drive whatever you like

Have you thought of a r33 4door. Here a a couple of pics of what i drive. Done the same as you. I have 2 kids and have been able to get by. The car has had the usual mods and seems to fly under the radar.

Yes I certainly have considered a 33 like your, in actual fact consider yours perfect colour etc, very nice ride, and perfect in the Black!! would look nice with my 32 :-)

What about an import like the Ford Territory (imported from Victoria!)

My wife loves it!

I don't think she'd be too happy with the day to day stress of owning a Skyline (exhaust volume, stiff suspension, boot space, leg room etc). You've still got your toy anyway!

Then when she's not looking drop a XR6 turbo engine in.... I just have to figure out how to convince her the 120,000 kay service takes a week

Hey there, thanks for the suggestion but the Territory Turbo or not is a fuel guzzler and a good but heavy beast of a vehicle, skylines as are only as loud as you make them as with the suspension I run Tein Super Street on the GTR and is aok in the comfort dept, had an XR6 great engines but fuel guzzler :-(

My wife drive's a 34 4 door, that manages with 1 baby, were upgrading it for the 2nd. As some mentioned before try the pram before you buy the car, we didnt and the damn thing dosnt fit in the boot without being pulled apart.

And with the baby seat in the backward facing way for new borns i didnt fit in front of it, so i allways had to drive and the mrs was allways cramped up on the passenger side.

Stagea has a little more room, but still not heaps. Pram and that fits in the boot, but again not much room in front of the baby seat, and now that have changed the rules again so your child has to be in a harness type seat till there 4yr's old.

IMO go something larger, instead of compromising there is alot out there.
