Ok so most ppl on here are big Skyline fans, and hence currently own one. But does anyone else constantly patrol the auto trader etc. looking for ideas for their next ride? Personally, I can't help myself. I've only had my gtr for 2 months, but Im already looking forward. I think I may sell it by the end of the year, because Ive just seen the next STi coming out...and Im afraid it may be the very thing to break my Skyline affair. Has anyone else got an idea for their next car, and importantly, will it be a Skyline???

Currently only having an R33 Gts-t leaves me open to a number of options.. depending on how this one goes for 2 or 3 years I might look into either a 98 GT-R upgrade..

would love to own atleast one.. otherwise.. well - an STI could be nice, not a fan of the lancers, however - 350z i don't mind..

Not sure yet.. have to wait and see.. as for trawling the classifieds.. not yet.. not yet..

Just sold my R33gtst... yes, i am having withdrawal symptoms already! :P

I have a non-skyline runabout car lined up for me as my living/work arrangements don’t really necessitates me having car, especially a high-powered 'line.

But nonetheless, i have been on the lookout for a good value gtr, most prob an r32/r33!

just drooling at the adds at this stage, but one day..... cue evil laughter.....hahahahah!

so to answer ure question, next car is not a skyline but wishin it was.

Yesterday I picked up my new car. Did drive (still have) a '93 Gts-T Line. Now I have a Toyota Chaser JZX100 with a 1JZ-GTE with VVT-i. Its a bigger car, has great response and im sure if it had the same mods as the line it would leave it in the dust.

4-door and all, still a great ride. and its not a 'im settling down' car, its a sleeper. Got some double takes when i was driving home. well worth it thou. took 3 months to get to where it is today (my car hole), and is a bit more that the 33, but hey, you only live once.

My trouble is that everybody drives em now days and i hate to follow trends. Yeh i can see the reason why, no doubt, but i havent driven one since i killed mine 6 years ago. I think the next car will be a go kart/clubman with a 3sgte or something stupid fast like that, for weekend driving. Untill then ill have to get my jollies from the vtec and that damn annoying rev limiter.

Chasers kik ass :spcartman:

yes probably will be. I will consider a nice 34GTR. or maybe a second 32. Probably before either of those will be a silvia or 180sx, but that will be a rally car, not street car.

Also, you spelt "Costanza" wrong mate. :)

I dont think you ever stop looking for other projects....theres sooo many more cars I want to own before I die.

Some pretty standard ones like your R34 GTR, others a little bit more Obscure, that for some reason or other I am attracted to, and not nessacarily performance cars either :)

yeah i'd love to own an R34 gt-r one day.... one day but considering im only 18, the R33 gts-t goes nicely atm, next car will proly be an SS ute.... thats right a holden :), ( for work related purposes but ), i'll still keep the '33 no matter what the next car i own is.

as much as i love my skyline, i realise the dream cant go on for ever (DUE TO THE PROHIBITIVE COSTS INVOLVED)

couldnt go back to a slug, so was thinking sometihng like a b4 liberty

more sensible

still fun

    • I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.
    • Just a reminder orange park was cool back in the day   and drifting the main circuit was even cooler   f**k I miss that car  
    • We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.
    • Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)
    • Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
