Like shopping trolleys...

[predator]

Just down at the local supermarket before.. Noticed three, yes, three R33 in the carpark (including mine). Not even a really big supermarket. Made me think "hmmm, they're as common as shopping trolleys these days aren't they.." See so many of the R33 around QLD these days, like the announcer was saying at Drag Combat, Queensland is almost is the Skyline capital of Australia. And while the annoucers are generally full of ***, I don't think he was that far off the mark.

They're everywhere! Just at drag combat, there would have literally been 60% R33 skylines there competing.

Not that I really bought my car to be unique or have anything different, but man, even I'll admit they're common as mud.

[strutto]

Buy a sedan!!!

Not too many of them... But they are growing in number every day...

You can even blend in with the Camrys

I agree, when I first got mine over 2 1/2 yrs ago now, there really wasn't that many around but now you can't go for a drive anywhere without seeing a 33 along the way. Still, they are a damn fine car, I suppose it wasn't going to take to long before others started to catch on to what a great buy they are.

[Guest INASNT]

They were special about 3 years ago when i got mine. Now every asshole has one, even u gordo all thwe way up north

[Nexus9]

Sure are gettin common.

I am on my 2nd skyline, next time I buy one will be the R34 GTR or nothing, can't see them ever getting as popular as the R33 GTST.

I did read somewhere that the Gold coast has the largest amount of R33's per capita in Australia.

you should check out sunnybank marketsquare on a weekend afternoon... the carpark looks like a freakin skyline caryard.

[Spook's_Skyline]

and now theres another 4 door r33 getting around westend

a dude who works with ma missus just traded in his 200sx for a 4 door r33 series 2

cant wait to see it

I am on my 2nd skyline, next time I buy one will be the R34 GTR or nothing.

Actually I would go a 350Z TT as well :wassup:

Hell Yeah!!

New car + warranty + 3.5L + tt kit = :headspin: :headspin:

Oh and personally i dont think there are hardly any R33s, Its the fact that we love and drive them so we notice everyone that makes them stand out.

There would be 1 skyline to every 5000 other cars, if not less.

There are more in certain areas, but by no means are they too common

Anyone from Mt Isa on here? Or been there recently.

I haven't been there for a while but when I was there I noticed that people didn't do up 5-10-15 year old cars, they bought them new and sent them straight to the painter,engine rebuilder upholsterer etc.

Sorry doesn't fit in the 33 thread but follows the trend. I agree though which is why I got something different.

I pulled up to a set of lights not long ago and their were 3 skylines and one commodore.

I knew at that point, that there were more skylines than commodores

[predator]

haha.. i think NismoGirl could well have a point!

Depends on the time of day, where you go. But sometimes you just see a few in a short space of time and you definitely notice. Especially R33.. R32 are a lot less common. Coming from Melbourne its pretty different. Don't see too many R34 here at all, but you see quite a few in Melb

There is an R33 around West End (blueish) which I saw a 40 year or older woman driving. Seen her driving a couple of times. It always puts a smile on my face - just picture your mum driving a stock as a rock skyline When you're mum is driving the same car as you, not sure how cool it is anymore.

Well before I bought mine, I was lucky to notice any, the only one I saw remember noticing was the one I bought, because it was a work mates.

I was a commodore man, I was looking at buying a VS HSV, but once I had a drive of the 'line, I could not believe I ever wanted anything but it!

But now I see them all the time and it's great i love seeing another and giving a big wave and a smile. plus I think there is a higher concentration of them here on the gold coast but then again i am probably wrong

[sweetr33]

yeah they are getting quite popular but that obviously says something. I mean i couldnt care if there are an increasing number around the place, its always good to see them out and about i think. Drag combat had a good number of them racing which was good entertainment for me as i seem to pay more attention to the skylines than i do swifts for example

[NismoGirl]

Its the same with buying anycar. As soon as you buy something, you seem to notice the cars around a hell of a lot more. I can honestly say that their were hardly any skylines in March of 2001 when I bought my baby. Then a few weeks later was the import boom and every ****er had one. That really shit me >:

[gatty]

what about NA 33's like mine

they are a bit more uncommon....and although packs a slightly less of a punch - i love it

[Skyrine-Dave]

How about HR31 Passages... Dont see many around.

And just think that because there are so many R33's around, at least if u stack ya car you should be bale to get replacement parts easily.

yeah im form the isa, anyway dad reckons theres heaps of skylines and 200sx's up there now. but the net is that shit up there its quicker using morse code. plus the heat wouldnt be too good for the turbos.

[MJ]

I dont think they are that common i dont see many on the road day to day driving

Except on a friday or saturday night cruising through surfers when all the nice cars come out.

[nismoman18]

Even tho there are so many R33's that they are mere commoners on the road i still love them i miss haviing an R33
