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.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
