Yeah I am looking at getting a V35 at the end of the year and just like Smooth I am looking for something newer and a bit classier.

Absolutely no hate for the older Skyline but things in car design have moved on and I think it is time for me to move on too.

well I can see myself owning skylines for the next 10 years, so it's ok rodney :P In the last 6 years I've never owned anything but a skyline - in fact that thought is scary in itself. I guess one day I'll own some other car.. but there'll always be room for a skyline somewhere in the garage.

damn my old man and his "who cares if it's fancy, as long as it's running" attitude!! think it wore off on me.

I can't believe someone hasn't made a skyline ute yet...I've seen a merc ute, a volvo monstertruck and even a rolls royce ute...sooner or later someone will abuse a skyline in such a way I'm sure

Actually I recall seeing a drift video at some point with R32 and 180SX utes... I was like PHWOAR!

I’m moving on. I’ve had numerous Skylines and a few Silvia’s along the way for the past 4 years now. First one was at 16 :headbang:

I was looking at trading the current R32 on another S13 yet again, but the bad stigma (sp?) involved around Skylines/Silvias/random imports being the new bogan drifter and what not has turned me off. That and the fact I’m getting pushed into buying something Euro. :P

Now the joys of finding something thats of the same value for money, that’s as good performance, handling and stopping wise, and wont cost my left arm.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
