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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
