I am considering my next upgrade to be either a V36 or a Skyline Crossover.

I know there is not a lot of love for the Crossover in the Skyline community, but I think they are freaking awesome and tick a lot of boxes for me - especially since I am well over my boy racer stage (I have owned a 200rwkw S15 and a 230rwkw R34) and the extra boot space suits me (for camping trips etc), high clearance, 4wd (I would buy the FOUR version), insane amount of cameras, self-healing paint, following cruise control/lane adherence alarms, etc etc. A black one with 20" rims, exhaust, ECU edit and on bags would make for a decent 260kw (flywheel) package with a bit of stance and a LOT of luxury ..... I know there will be a lot of haters out there, but each to their own imho.

can you import those crossovers??

i hired one of those (Infiniti Fx45) when i was i was in the USA in 2009 - we drove it from LA to Vegas - 5 blokes with full luggage - and at one stage, on a closed section of road, we had it up to 140mph and it wanted to keep going. Very cool cars!

Well who wouldn't want an R35 GT-R..

But i am on the similar track of Trav, i would love an Audi A4 sedan with big wheels and a bit of stance. They look sexy as hell in black done up.

EDIT: i forgot, maybe even consider a G6E Turbo in silver. Very good looking cars and have all the luxury accessories that i like. I have a mate with one lowered a bit on 20's and it looks tidy as f*ck, done a tune and a few engine mods pushing 350-ish kw

Just get a PM35 and be done with it Andrew! You know you want to!

Yeah mate - and you can bring them in from the UK so they have English buttons/controls too!

Only had the v36 for about 18 months and am still in love with it so the gf will be getting the next chance to upgrade. From an 08 fiesta almost anything is a move up but she likes the 86. After that it will be my turn again and, depending on what comes out over the next 2-3 years, an R35 or a newer M3, will be on the radar. I love that BMW have gone back to a straight six and having driven a Z4 with the .same twin turbo six, I can imagine the evil things that BMW will be able to do to it.

I get very sentimental with my vehicles. The Maxima was around for 17 years and was only upgraded to a V36 because of an unfortunate collision which made it economically unfeasible. Yes, even sentimentality has its price sometimes.

As such, I hope to hang on to my V36 for an eternity too.

Besides, I'm putting a lot of work into upgrading the audio system. I've been doing a lot of metalwork to make the amp stack that will sit in place of where a Bose amp would normally be found in the boot floor's left corner and there's more engineering to do along the way.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
