24. I think...???

Ive always thought that the age was very biased towards younger people. which is interesting considering the number of 33s in the mix - theyre affordable fun, but theyre still not super-cheap.

Its not to say that I didnt think younger people would have fast cars, just that I thought that there would be a majority towards thirty, not twenty.

I guess it's an interesting reflection on the changing mentality between the generations - with more thirty year olds tending towards the monaro/ss type markets and the younger people more willing to embrace different, or possibly better marketed, imports.

I'd hate to think of us as a fast and the furious generation, but the tag might not be so far from the truth.

I didnt buy my car after seeing either of those movies - but I know some (mostly sub 20yo) people who love them...and ultimately probably aspire to them. we might not like the analogy, but it's difficult to avoid.

Id prefer to think of the movement towards jap imports by the early 20 somethings as a response to growing up watching the GTRs whoop everyone in the touring cars, then get banned cause they were too fast (and too expensive to compete against), rather than out of more recent street racer hype....

Well the age group is broader than I thought. It's actually surprised me given the cost of running one of beasts with insurance, price of after-market parts and fuel economy but I suppose if you love the marque then you're prepared to pay the price. (sorry for going a little OT).

      Returning after a long time!

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
