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

yeah stagea for sure.....lot of car for the money....

Yeah, am thinking Stagea too, mmm, be nice to have a second Rb26.......except.......this is the second car, would be trading the wifes tiida am unfortunately what this means it that we would need to go......yeah dare I say it.....auto :-)

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

+1

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.

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!

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.

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.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
