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

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

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.

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      New Skyline will be RWD and manual

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
