Early today my 18 month old son tried taking my Skyline for a drive...he had a couple of problems, such as being too short to reach the peddles, can't see over the dash and he didn't have the keys, although very funny to watch and...

Don't worry; when he grows 4" and knows what the keys are for, he still won't need to be able to look over the dash, but...

your car will be his 1st car - gulp :P

Does that answer the Q, "What will he be left with as a learner's car?"

OP isn't about what my son will be cruising around in, I think perhaps I wasn't to direct in my post. (reading back over it, over half was rambling, that I'm going to take out cos I can see how it'd be confusing)

OP is about where all the nice cars are disappearing to??? It's just my son that got me thinking about it.

Why are they getting rid of decent cars and replacing them with hybrid cars that have no power or cars that are just totally ugly...what ever happened to the days of classy cars with sexy curves, and decent amounts of power, cars that had engineering genius....why the limited choices? I know that manufacturing companies only go with what the consumer say they want but I am so sick of seeing good cars being turned into SUV's or Hybrids, of worse still...BOTH!

How can they call this a Skyline of any type???

And yes I am aware they call it a Skyline/Infinity crossover

ive read thru this thread twice now and resisted answering because i already cop enuff warning... but seriously wtf r u talking about. there are no nice new sports cars around????

lets just think for 1 sec ok

r35 gtr

370z

v37 skylines

bmw coupes

mercedes convertibles

audi a5

volkswagon golf gti's etc

911 porcshes

all of these cars have "classy cars with sexy curves, and decent amounts of power, cars that had engineering genius" (ur quote)

f**k a maloo ute has sexy curves and 6.3 litre engine in it....is that not decent enuff power.

hybrid cars are the way of the future because fossil fuels will run out eventually and im sure ur not going to walk every where or go back to the olden days of horses and carriages now are we

im not a ford person but i quite like them

yeah im the same dude, not a ford man at all, but when i saw this thing at the dealership me and my mate were sussing it out for ages, the seats r fkn awesome as well....its got a big ass spoiler....the only way to make it any better would be if it were a 4wd instead of fwd but ...oh well

r35 gtr

thats some rich p platers. reminds me of the other night that was extremely hot down st kilda beach seeing red p platers in 100k BMW's with the tops down.. not happy

But in 15 years from now those cars will be worth virtually nothing.

Hmm i thought the actual topic is what cars are left these days. The story about her son with the current car just made her think of the cars available now. Otherwise there's really absolutely no point in this thread. I think everyone just got confused the story and what she was actually asking.

But yeah i agree they will be worth peanuts. Hard to imagine that though =[

I always worried about my first car and the safety of it. I actually thought we had a interesting topic happening with:

what was your first car. Although i am sure there has been a post for it somewhere!

1989 Rover

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
