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.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
