First Skyline Ride


Recommended Posts

my first ride in a skyline was my one of my dads mates aussie r31 when i was pretty young, it stunk of fish bait and had heaps of empty vb tins and metho bottles in the footwells. i didn't think much of it at the time....

sorry i tell a lie, the r33 wasnt my *FIRST* ride ever in a skyline, my *FIRST* ever ride in a skyline was in my dads r31 company car. i was too young to remember anything bout how it went, but my parents always had good things to say about it so i guess it was rather quick. they were always suprised how it beat their worked v8 holden hk brougham off the line. The r33 had the greatest effect on me though, it was all i talked bout for days after my first ride in it :cheers:

First ride was back in 2001 in a R33 GTSt, big apexi front mount, high flowed turbo, was awesome and pulled pretty hard... the owner wrote it off 2 weeks later around a tree.

Second ride was in 2003 in a R32 GTR with N1 spec turbos, making a considerable amount of power. This thing hauled arse, and I bought one a few months later.

first dealings with turbo import skylines...

R30 sedan with L20ET & possibly the most retarded auto gearbox I've ever had the displeasure of using. Slowest car I've EVER been in up to 60km/h yet quite fast & responsive between 100 & 140km/h. weird...

with R32 & 33 sedans I remember wondering 'where's my low down response'. fortunately the top end kicks in & it seems like much less of a problem!
