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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?

      You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
