I am very much in the same boat as merli... in my area Lines arent too common, the chicks seem to like a change from the commodores etc.

My mates usually do most of the talking about my car for me. I just play it down.

But then again my current love interest is a ricer like me and she has a louder stereo and exhaust too... :)

Which is good i feel that it is more based on the people we are not the cars we drive.

If i did have a skyline i'd be like, "alright pet? fancy a ride? you'll get a shag on the back seat too if you're lucky"....

...just kidding, it would be funny though!

hahahahahaaa Novacastrians are cool. No matter what country they are from :)

imo, women typically cannot differentiate one car from another. they are not good with names of cars, specifics of any kind. they don't care about stats, race history, year model, trim package, engine choice, all of that stuff we have created an entire forum about. females typically respond more to HOW the man drives the car, how the car sounds, how it smells, what color it is, the texture of the seats, how it feels. of course, having a sports car helps because it can allow the driver to be sexier. a rusted out ford sedan will not cut it. i think a typical female response to the skyline would be that it looks like a honda or toyota or something other than what it is. if you said "oh. this is a skyline," the woman would not be able to remember that name the following day. were she interested in the man, she would remember his voice tone, how his hands looked, how he smelled, the way he walked to the car, the way he shifted the gears, etc. the car would just be a "vehicle" for the more meaty issues that charm the female.

conversely, some men equate or regard the skyline as higher and more interesting than the female, ie, it replaces or is the female. at least easier to manage. the ideal world would be having both the skyline and the female in harmony.

Jesus...that post scares me :uhh:

What books do you read in your spare time, or do you have a lot of sisters :)

I'm gonna be honest and say that I'm buying a skyline for four reasons, it's quality, price, performance and looks. If my car attracts women, so be it. I work hard, wear decent clothes and do my best to look my best, the car will just compliment that. Skylines get looks, (Commowhores get smoked, then ignored ;)) but most girls aren't that dumb to be with a guy with a cool car if he's got a face like a spanked ass and teeth like a group one winner and thinks deodorant is an optional hygene tool. If so, god damn, he must be hung like a group one winner too!

my two cents

hahaha your all liars

maybe the 25yo+ skyline owners done get girls/ or atleast use the skyline a little to get them

but being 18 and driving a skyline, i get girls asking if they can get in when i stop at lights and have a few extra numbers on my phone cos of the line ;)

I know they are there for the line, but i dont care, females will be females they use us all in some way

I picked up my gf with my R31 wagon but now i have an R32 and my gf hates it.

"Its too bumpy"

"Its too noisy"

"The airconditioning doesnt work"

"I dont like the whooosh sound"

"It only has a tape player"

"You always drive with the windows down"

But i still love her. Just

woman does better in our car than i do

shes always getting guys trying to race her and wanting her number when shes out in the car

guys dont believe her either when she tells them she drives a skyline

she knows what shes on about though (she knows model series etc)

i wish i did as well as she did ;)

Woah, there are so many of you that are turning girls down because they are interested in your car.

At the end of the day, you don't need to have a relationship with them! If they are fit, attractive and the right age for you then get a shag out of them - just remember to wear a johnny!

Seriously, i've just come out of a year long relationship and half of that time my GF was travelling. When i was working in the US last summer i could have had so much fun, but i stayed faithful to my GF. What did that get me? A very boring relationship with a girl that was too different from me.

I don't want another relationship until i'm about 25, or until i meet a girl that really turns my head. Until then i just want to have fun.

Be young while you're still young.

when your early at a party eveyone that walks in after you wants to know who owns the skyline the 200sx, the Rex etc...thats parked on the street! it has to count for something when your 17- 25 with a hot car.. they think...mmmm....hard worker...good job...drug dealer...lol hahaah

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
