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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
