To Rego Or Not To Rego, That Is The Question.

Hai Guise,

I'm Troy McClure, you might remember me from such films as Mark Webber Attacks 'nanny State', I Have a Yellow Fever from Wasteland or the award winning title Things That Make You LULWUT..

I have a custom Red R33 GTST sitting on my front lawn for the past 4 years and i have been contemplating on putting this thing back on the road but just couldn't seem to have have any time on my hand as i've been quite busy and had a handful of other things going on in my life. Ive decided to take a more relaxed approach in regards to work this season by having the weekends from my self this summer time.

I've got quite a looker of a R33 i must say. It's quite unique in its own way with the cosmetic mods i have done to it and its colour just stands out from the crowd.

It has the original s3 GTR projector/xenon head lights. Full gtr kit. Black large gtr front lip. Black gtr wing with red spoiler arches. BA XR8 bonnet bulge (it looks quite aggressive) and BA XR8 18" wheels that just sit in line with the wheel arches, giving it a tough look from the back.

Mechanically the only thing i have done to it is fit a thick stainless steel radiator. Didnt have time to complete what i had planned for this baby.

Now the question is, is it worth putting this gtr wanna be little red ferrari back on the road? Do you karnts go for cruises like you used to back in the hey days or is the crowd just disintegrated? What are the cruising scene now days? Are there much hassles from cops nowadays? Would i be pulled over even though i have no illegal mods coz frankly cbf with dealing with these punks..

Mother of God... i just skimmed through Just Cars online insurance quote and i got $1300 for full comprehensive.

Why is it so expensive when i have my BA XR6 insured for $600?

surprise. you have a skyline!?!?!?!?

so far, i've never been purposefully targetted, but that's prolly because i don't drive like a dick, (i look around before putting my foot down)

so i say, by all means if you've got the time.

Because its a BA XR6 barbs, parts are plentyful and cheap and they are mostly driven by families who obviously very rarely get into accidents. Weigh that against the R33 GTS-T current king of the "Hektik" cars for both wogs, wannabe wogs and bogans alike that are involved in accidents all the time and mostly driven by dickheads trying to be fully sick and pick up chicks, so naturally they get into a lot of accidents showing off to their mates. The main reason they are so popular now with those types of people is because on your lucky day you can have one for $5k so its very attractive to those who used to have VL turbo's.

Disclaimer: I know most of the people on SAU dont conform to the above description of the Skyline driver. And the above descriptions are based on my personal experiences of friends and acquaintances owning skylines and generally bouncing of limiter everywhere.
