morning all, i'm not one to buy into outside opinions, however i did find it interesting to find this on a non-car forum

taken from OCAU;

Now thesedays every 5th bloody car is a Skyline. While I agree they are nice cars, to me they've now lost that "special flare" they used to have.

Gone are the days of *head turns to gaze at passing Skyline*, and in are the days of *Skyline passes with ethnic and BOV, head stays in same position*.

9 pages of glory here;

Member of OCAU and just read that.

TLDR:

Why skylines so common, this guy drives a countach, skylines are ugly, skylines are nice, skylines are common, why buy a skyline when you can buy this, next car in place of skyline ft-86, 33's go for $4K, new oil pump costs $900, miss my old car.

I thought it would at least depend on the type of Skyline. R33 are the most common, but even then, I still don't see that many around. I drive my 34 as a daily and I really don't see many 34's either....and GTR's?? - Well, even rarer still.

Don't see what the fuss is about anyway, its not like we are bloody commondores. Now that's a car you see literately every second.... Skylines Rock :cool:

I live in a mining town, every 2nd car here is a SS V8 commonwhore. There's probably 15 skylines in this town. 2 V35's and i would see more R34's than any other R series skylines. I know there's at least 2 R32 GTR's, damn they are sexy.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
