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 :D

Are you serious?

Nearly a million commodores are sold/re-sold every year in Australia.

There isnt even HALF a million skylines in the entire world.

And commodores are still being made, Skylines are not :P

I don't mind seeing so many other skylines. It probably means that 2nd hand parts will get cheaper and there will be more available. Insurance premiums may dip if enough owners get insurance and don't crash too much.

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 :D When you're mum is driving the same car as you, not sure how cool it is anymore.

i seen a lady in her 40's aswell driving a white 33 :P

also a guy in his 50's i think in a 34 gtr

i wonder whether skylines will start to be body modified like s13's,s14's and s15's. The new go is s15 fronts on s13 silvias/180's or putting a silvia front on a 180 or a 180 front on a silvia like i have. I've also seen a r32 front on a silvia. I wonder if we'll start to see things like that?? Depends how interchangable the parts are i guess.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
