Nice, well thats pretty much good enough to start getting a feel of the results. The results I would think could be bias also because the people reading the most threads & replying are people in IT who are on a computer all day.

So the stats have brought in so far:

We mainly drive r33 Gtsts

We're mainly true blue

& We all have IT jobs.

It's a pretty crazy result so far when you think about it or is it? Do other car forums have similar polls, threads like this one & do people who say drive wrx's, on a wrx forum, do a lot all reply saying they are in IT too because a forum is a computer thing. Are skylines really driven by more IT people than any other car.

If that is true, What is it about there being so many IT people with skylines like myself.

Is it because we earn good money?

Is it because we need to show off our selves?

Are there many reasons to why IT people own skylines or a few reasons in particular.

I dont know if i can even answer that myself. Personally, i love imports, skylines & supra's my fav. I love the best bang for bucks type cars... with the r33 gtst being one of the most affordable bang for bucks cars.

So i love the skyline because of its power, looks, & import factor, something different 'even though there are a lot of them, but not compared to say a commodore, falcon, or corolla'.

When i think about it too, a car can represent someone fairly well. I spose another reason why i chose the skyline is because it shows my success for someone of my age. I dont mean to brag but i'm trying to look at this in the most direct way, only say 3% 'not sure of percentage' of people can buy a $20 k car on there own @ 18 without help of parents. Although I had so many people 'guys' from my school think my dad bought my car & this really shits me off... F#ck off, i work smart & hard and this is how i show it i spose.

Do i have the car for the girl factor, sure it helps, women are materialistic *for the women reading, yeh us guys are too, but we're more materialistic about a womans breasts than her money :/*. Do i go & hang with all the others in done up cars picking up 16 year old girls... No, not at all. If you meet a girl, you go out with her, pick her up in a nice fast car, yeh its certainly a plus. A lot of girls love skylines 'from what i've found', like a lot of you would probably have experienced, in a car park or somewhere some girls have run up & asked about your car starting talking to you 'verrrrrry materialistic hahah' When i first got my car had random chix ringing me up seeing if i wanted to take'em for drive! What the. Cant say i got that when i had the hyundai excel... lol

I'm just not sure what is is about skylines & IT people 'if it is true that skylines are dominated by IT people', im sure there are many reasons for different types of people. Eg, a mechanic might love his GTR because of it's sheer potential.

I think the most interesting answer would be to the question "Do a lot of IT people have similar personalities & interests which are associated with their occupation"

I love a fast car & a r33 gtst to me is the best looking car to get running down a 1/4 mile in 12 secs for $25 k.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest.

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.

      Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...

      If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.

      If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
