I'm not saying it's not a nice looking car, just that there's nothing really done to it that make it look any different from the other 3 million S2 R33's around, apart from the wheels, which aren't included.

The thought of buying a skyline sometimes crosses my mind... If I was to go down that path instead of something much pricier like M3/AMG/35 GTR etc, it would more than likely turn out to be quite an animal..

But alas, I think those days are behind me

Agreed, though the numbers are diminishing. I'm seeing less and less 33s these days. Ain't what it used to be. Maybe that's cause eastern suburbs cops have drowned them out.

Thought I was getting past Skylines myself, but a look around at everything new and second hand and couldn't see anything that was much better or fun for the money...went and bought a second one lol

I also look at everyone who goes and buys a sensible car or euro...they seem to wanna come back

Are you all like brothers and stuff?

Yes

Same here I think. Much to Adam's dismay

Haven't seen a neat 33 in a long time which is why it caught my eye. Most of those 3 million are f**ked or horribly modified

If I went for another skyline I think it'd have to be a 34GTR... But knowing it'd be highly modified and stand out aesthetically, means I'd more than likely get raped by the po po and I can't be f**ked with all that EPA/RWC constantly...

Buy one, if it happens do the swap to stock and sell it...not much to lose. At least it won't depreciate like the euro you're considering

Haven't been EPA'd for nearly 3 years myself and I live in the heart of Knox now

The cop cars do watch me closely though

thats why i sold my 33gtr.. wasn't even anything special just epa / pulled over all the time 'cos skyline' & constantly shitting yourself that you'll get done whenever you go past 4000rpm

would be awesome to own a 34GTR and openly mod it without worries (and actually drive it).. sadly that isn't the case.

Am paranoid in the pulsar even though it does blend in (not so much now with carbon bonnet.

The Gloria is still a pit to pour money in, but covers all the bases it doesn't. I still worry about cops, but all I have to do now is wind down the front windows

not anymore

now you get a 45 or 90 day permit and you just fill in the logbog each day you drive.

other than that all good.

but rules to get club rego much harder now full RWC and VASS certs.

and they can un roadworthy you and EPA you now as well.

Until you get an "M" plate, then the HWP knows that you're modified and will target you anyway...

P.S. Bring back my Jerry Cans, got a track day tomorrow...

Lucky I got in early. Ah yeah shit. Do you need em tomorrow? I don't really have an easy way to get them to you tonight.

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
