stuff idiots say about skylines

[aKTiVE]

i don't suppose you know the episode that was in?

anyway mine...

"skylines are so passe"

yes, i've also had the "skylines suck"

"skylines don't have any torque" to which i replied "do you even know what torque is?" ... "it's it's it's it's er it's um"

mmm that brakes exploding thing is doing my head in... i dont understand that at all =

Agreed that a lot of people have skylines, but its for a reason - they are decent cars - 5 billion p platers cant be wrong.

the torque thing i agree with when it comes to the RB20... i cant stand the torque curve of the Rb20 motor, but they are quite robust and cheap to replace....

[12:08:24 AM] CrazySexyCoo: skylines are so passe

[12:09:13 AM] ::: sam :::: **** passe... cars are more than a fashion

statement to car enthusiests

and yes, i am quite proud of my response

jeremy clarkson says a lot of weird things on his show that the audience is supposed to just accept.

[funkymonkey]

think he was referring to the cross drilled brakes cracking under extreme stress?

[aKTiVE]

Jeremy is fat, and his hair is curly like pubes.

Here is some homework for you to read http://www.dptmex.com/english/dyno.htm

Have a read about Tractive effort.

To be honest the only reason I bought a Skyline is the potential + it is a new style interioir car.

After owning the VS 5ltr 5speed I looked at buying a VLT.

I couldn't bring my self to step back in to the old style interior.

I checked out the R32 skyline. It was good on fuel went ok for a stocker, motor, diff & gearbox are strong (unlike the VS when it came to the diff & gearbox) and had plenty of potential.

guys, stay on topic...

I remember my first ride in a GTR (about 1997)... during the test drive the dealer demonstrated the point in the rev range where the second turbo kicked in.

[Slide]

Steady mate. I was agreeing with you, but you would probably consider me an "old fart". We aren't all tarred with the same brush you know.

Nah your not old mate id consider over 60 to be the age where you would start going stupid

that was my intended OLD FART AGE BRACKET

you still have 15 years to go, but as your a fellow skyline driver the time will fly very fast (but only on the track)

[blacky]

So many times i've heard that Skylines "Are way too common. Like commodores". True in a sense, in that the number of R33s has exploded, but as for R32s... ?

[bootlegapparel]

The guy on top gear saying that R32 GTRs brakes sometimes explode!

I don't remember that, he does exagerate a lot though, it's part comedy remember, see the review on the monaro, and when he turned the traction control off the car would yell out "You bloody poofta"

*Things idiots say about skylines*: "Anything from the mass media"

anyway back on topic

PUBLIC ENEMY #1?

It certainly looks like this is where the Skyline is heading in NSW, thanks to a minority of idiots that like driving at 4 times the speed limit etc, etc.

The Skyline is just one of a couple of makes being targeted by our poleticians to be banned from being driven by under 25 driver's and particularly "P" licence holders.

Anybody got any suggestions on how to combat this problem?

How much are assasins these days? :Bang:

I had another one a few weeks ago

"The 200sx (S15) is the new skyline"

My eyes popped out of my head when I heard that
