Hi there guys, im from Hamilton New Zealand (go the all blacks lol), this is my secound skyline i have owned, and i have also owned a Subaru legacy B4 twin turb (i think you call them liberties??) anyways i have done bugger all to it. i have put some deep dish mags on 17x9s front and 17x10s rear with stretched tyres on, tinted windows and a full clarion sounds install. i got my skyline as an import late last year with only 67000ks and in mint condition (fully stock). like all, i have big plans for it but im in no real hurry. this forum is like my bible, there is tonnes if info on here, its never ending!!

Glad to have you on board Rene!

We hope you get all the info you need for your improvements. Cars look nice - real nice. The B4 has a really high-grade sound system in it too eh?

But hey, the sound system in my Forester XT is used - and the sound system in my 'Line is not (unless it's a long country drive).

I've been to NZ twice - and I love the place.

1st time in '75 was a pharmacy conference.

2nd time in '91 was to take the family.

I have never struck rain at Milford Sound in the 3x I've been there - nor Mt Taranaki - nor Doubtfull Sound! Lucky eh?

If I go again, I want to do the Tongariro Walk + Cape Kidnappers/Napier + White Island + some more Fiordland; hmmm... maybe Milford Track (with insecticide & iPod) lol

uh well i ripped the stereo out of the b4 pretty much as soon as i got it lol. yeah seems like you got lucky with it not raining lol, they dont measure annual rainfall down there in mm they use meters haha. insecticide is a must those sand flies are massive lol. havent really done much in the south island, ive only moved here a few years ago, before that i was at boarding school in brisbane.

Cheers guys

real estats a bit of a low point at the moment, good time to buy.

suprisingly it does actually get quite warm here during summer, its weird our high 20's and low 30's is lik your guys mid to high 30's. but in winter its a completely different story haha, -2 degrees thick as fog, rain thats when i wish i was back in brizzy.

and yes an esky is an esky, not a chillie bin (or "chullie bun" if u say it like some of us kiwis )

thongs are thongs, not jandals

doona is a doona not a duve

i get some funny looks, when i refer to thongs in public sometimes haha

Well, thanks for that info.

Hamilton... not far from Waitomo is it? If so, I loved the atmosphere of New Plymouth when I was there. I don't know what it's like nowadays. I haven't been there since '91.
