[TEAMSHADOW]

[Mulkers]

On Thursday night! no mods... so smooth

[lwells]

The first time I was in a Skyline was when John from UAS demo'ed an R32 GT-R for me. I couldn't get the smile off my face for days

First time in a skyline was 3 days ago when my '89 GTS-T 4 door arrived! Only driven it a couple of times as it is still unregistered (imported it myself). Mods are HKS exhaust, Pod filter and coil overs. Only other turbo car I've driven was a (rather tired) 180sx. Compared to the 180sx, the skyline was slower to come on boost, but boosted much harder, and held the torque until much higher in the rev band. Where the 180 was running out of puff at about 6500, the skyline kept pulling to well over 7000. The 180 was pretty neglected by its owner though, so perhaps not the best comparison to make.

Compared to my previous car, a 95 Hyundai Lantra automatic, the skyline feels REDICULOUSLY fast. Cant help but laugh when you plant your foot.

Cant wait for registration!!!

The first turbo skyline I went in was an R31 Executive sedan (aussie spec) with an RB30ET and R32 manual gearbox. It had a pod and ag-pipe for "cold air induction" and 3" exhaust. The car was running extremely rich but was overwhelmingly fast. I loved the turbo spool and acceleration. The ability for it to haul arse to 180 with 5 ppl in the car is what impressed me.

ok. never driven one. Signed up with J-Spec for a R34 GT-T, didn't think i could go too wrong..

Anyways, 6 months later, picked her up from Sydney on Labour day. Flew up on a 6:15 Virgin flight and drove back the same day to Melbourne. Got back 10:30pm.

The car was f*cking sensational!!! My current car is a '91 pulsar hatch with 57kw's... so my first taste of boost was nuts!, loved it - Took her for a sneaky drive today (no compliance plate yet, no rego) and she's just awesome to drive, sits nice and flat and can't get enough of the boost!

I'm with you Rizza, can't wait for the rego! Just dying to go cruising with my mates...

R34's f*cking rock!

EDIT: oh right... mods. Stock as a rock. Manual.

My 1st time in a skyline was PHUMANs skyline in adelaide.

Took me to my yr 10& 12 formal. Shit all over the limos hahaha!

R34 GTT 1998 model Man-trans. I been in it a few times now but the first time i can certainly remember! he's mods were the basic bolt on bits bk then now his running 350kWrw CraZY!

So bk in yr 10 social, he picked me up, no bg deal.

Then he gunned it... well i thought he did. my whole body just flew bk in the seats da g-force was crazy i loved it wif the unique skyline sound from the engine bay. he was only running stock boost! i nearly wet my self. I said to him we dun have to be early da skool social so we whent for a 30min cruse! hahaha PHAT !

gotta get him to gimme a ride soon wif the new power his making!

Sideways at about 130km facing a tirewall.

Yep I hadn't been in many turbo cars at all. I was a the Morwell hillclimb track and my mate took me for a straight out flying lap sideways and smoking.

I loved it. Heres a pic

I just got myself an R32 GTSt 4 door, I too can't wait for rego.

my 1st was my r32gts4t

stock as.. i thought i was soooo cool haha

it felt quick back then.. but these days it would feel like a snail...a big dead snail

[Midnight R33]

Well walked into the local import dealer and saw this nice 40th anniversary R33 sitting right at the front of the yard.

Only arrived the day before... took it for a test drive not knowing what to expect. Had a smile the whole time. Bought it the next day Love the boost and gotta love the all wheel steering!

[M34N]

it's funny how everyone mentions how they were smiling when they bought their first Skyline. I was exactly the same a couple months ago.

I drove in my R34, the first Skyline I've been in, and just loved it. They interior is awesome, it flies... what else do you need? coming from a Ford Telstar it was hardly as though it woulda been worse than that

[[HOTNXR]]

first was in a 180, felt fast as hell. but that was sorta the first car some has gunned it. next was a mates r33 sII, stock as. not to bad but didnt feel as quick. then was mates r32 gts-t. stock with 1 bar boost. almost broke my neck!! haha, now im making a choice that will suit me... r33 sII, r32 GTR or supra NA ( i love supra's and thinking about NA and waiting for a TT conversion but dont know if i can wait that long.)

[Whippet]

hey all, new user here, first drive was last week, stock r32 gtr. i learned to drive in an oldschool GT falcon, and the skyline was so refined and quiet, and just so effortless compared to it.

Where the falcon would light up the rears, and try to kill you from about 1500 rpm exiting a corner, the skyline would rev to about 4k before it started getting scary, and just take off towards the horizon.

Loved it. I'm now gonna buy one within the next few months.

[Jenius]

Hmm my first time was in an R32 GTS-t Type-M that my mate had just picked up. the car had only been here from japan for about 2 months back in 2000. it had been mildly modded with just the 5Zigen exhaust and KYB Suspension.

I'd never thought 5 years later I'd actually end up owning that very same car. ^_^

[W3asel]

i was in a four door R32 GTS-T with apexi exhaust system cat back,pod filter, chip,intercooler where the only add ons...........

i luvd the boost straight away

like i knew they where awesome machines but once u get in one u just want to have it.

We where doin bout 240 on the highway and the thing did not shake rattle rumble nor did the steering wheel shake..........WOW...

after that i decided im getting one!

[satanic]

My first ride in a Skyline was when my importer showed me "the potential" of one of these cars... after the introduction, I fell in love and immediately started to talk about my 34

6 months later, my baby came to Australia Shit, sounds like I gave birth or something~

[Coupe-This]

my frist time in an r33 gtst was about a year ago, when i test drove a few and was looking at buying one.

I picked one, drove it, loved it. Had a turbo car before it, and a v8, the skyline isnt the fastest car ive driven, but its the best car ive driven, and being stock, well simple exhaust and boost will fix that

Just drives so excelently, hangs on the road and ya just get looks everywhere, ahah ITS MINE !!!

[Nozila]

1st time in a skyline was when I test drove one. It was n/a r33, the car felt very slow and unexciting. But then I test drove a stock 33 turbs and I was hooked which eventually lead me to buy it. I was obsessed with stepping on the throttle and feeling the boost kick in. Now thanks to SAU =P I cant stop thinking about mods.

[Nozila]

Only other turbo car I've driven was a (rather tired) 180sx.  Compared to the 180sx, the skyline was slower to come on boost, but boosted much harder, and held the torque until much higher in the rev band.  Where the 180 was running out of puff at about 6500, the skyline kept pulling to well over 7000. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

you havent driven a well maintained and midly modified 180sx then.

[the_wickerman]

was a few weeks back and is my sisters. it's fairly stock, but is very nice to drive. i could pete rock appreciate having one.
