Let's prove Skylines are as common as Falcodores !!..er...burp

[superspit]

ahh, G'Day Skliner's !! (sup)

enough of that crap...........Does anyone know where I can find this info...

How many registered (on the road) model R33 GTS/GTS-T's are there in Australia and then in Victoria alone; (not interested in GTR's, or are they considered to be 'Skylines as a whole' by the road authorities).

I would also like to know, for comparison sake, how many current model Commodore and Falcons there are registered.

I know it's a big call, but I just want to direct the answer to a couple of knuckle-head work-mates who keep on saying that the (R33)Skyline is "so fucHing common....er, like commodores...er...'burp'...you see them everywhere!!!"

Rather than be like them, I would like to present some comments that are a little more factual and better presented er...burp.

If someone can just point me in the general direction?......

anyways Skliners,

chankya! :wassup:

dunno bout others but my skylines is registered as a "nissan coupe"

[NuGGeT]

therefore if its the same with others it may make it a little hard to count em

bummer, you're right too!!

maybe there's a way around this ???

Thanx NGT.

the reason they notice them "everywhere" is because they notice them over other cars on the road.. thereby making their own shitboxes boring and blending into the background and a skyline something different.. therefore their hypothesis is inherently flawed..

[Mandingo]

^^ so true, everytime i see a 'line i notice.

[strutto]

You've got a point Gordo...

[martydaman]

bah fords and holdens....who pays attention to those rust buckets anyway... i wouldnt notice one if was painted fluro yellow with a billboard nailed to the roof... the only way id probably notice one was if it was eating my dust in my mirrors, and even then it wouldnt get a second glance....

their f**king common as...:D

Why do you care what they say? ...and even if you did find out how many, it's still not a fair comparision as you know.

It could be the fact they are easily spotted now because they are different to what is available locally. God I gave up looking at Skylines after one year here, except for BNR34...BCNR33 and BNR32 aren't a big deal to me no more.

I don't see that many skylines on the roads among all the other JDM cars. Human nature you don't need to see 5 a day...just seeing 1 different Skyline...week in, week out it's enough to say they are common.

Why go to all the trouble just to prove a few knuckle heads...is there a prize to be won?

[sewid]

Don't bother lowering yourself to their level.

[Shell]

welll..in Canberra at least...there are nowhere near as many!

it's just a dumb arguement...

just as a test - anyone, anywhere in Australia sit at a major set of traffic lights and look around you. Guaranteed there'll be a Commodore or Falcon there somewhere. Probably quite a few. You can't say that about Skylines, anyone who thinks there's just as many is delousional (sp?)

There's heaps more than there USED to be, which is why people start these stupid arguements. meh i don't care anyway, if there's lots on the road it's obviously because they're great cars

[superspit]

thanx for your support guys (and Michelle), I suppose I'm one of those "here are the facts" type of people. After reading these threads, I suppose I don't need to be.

These recalcitrants (at my workplace) can go an get sodded!!

Anyways................

Up the Skliners. (and the Irons)

Yes.

I'd be interested in the total number of skylines in Aus....we have 7000 members on this site.....

[Jimbo2000]

[funkymonkey]

i have one n a half... and a ceffy anda few pieces from another R32... ummm makes mine a grand total of 1.84 + 1 ceffy

[Duncan]

superspit, try and find how many cars where imported TOTALLY in a year and then see how many commodores are sold each year.

I read somewhere in 2002 when i imported my car there was something like 27k cars or so. say 15% of that are 33's then thats about 4000 in one year. holden sell in excess of 27,000 commodores a year.. eaaaasy!
