i thought they was spelt poogo and shitren thank god for spell check

It's Poogoe .... and I think you'll find Citron is much smarter than shitren (lookup what Citron stands for in a dictionary).

seeya,

Shane L.

PS: Oh cr@p .... One of you even has the name "mid life crisis".... You guys are hilarious ... There's nothing like taking the pi$$ out of yourself rolllaugh.gifrolllaugh.gifrolllaugh.gifrolllaugh.gif

Here's me expecting the usual braindead "my car is faster than yours" , "betcha I could beat your cr@pbox type comments" ....... Where's the "mines bigger than yours" type comments confused.gif I'm very impressed with the level of maturity around here given it's a skyline forum.

hey all,

i got a mate who works at nissan/renault,  who says they're the biggest buckets of shit on the road, not to mention the ugliest, the new ones just look wrong.

loved the pics of that clio sport burning. thanks for the wallpaper...

Don't forget who owns Nissan.... Yeah that's right, Renault.. the French. :lol:

well i'm just passing on what i've been told. he is the one who has to pull them apart and put em back together. apparently the windscreen wipers spin the wrong way, the indicator/wiper stalks are on the wrong side and just little stupid things like that, yes i know it is european, but every other company changes these before selling them

I love hearsay. The earth is flat! the earth is flat! I'm just passing on what i was told...

If you mind and therefore bodily motor functions can't convert to using stalks on the other side of a steering column, maybe you shouldn't be operating a vehicle.

And not "every other company" converts to RHS indicator stalks when importing to Australia - most euros I've driven recently run LHS indicator stalks...

But apart from those problems, nice observations :)

French cars have won the last five WRC, this years F1, own Nissan (and green lighted the upcoming GTR)and have been responsible for some of the most innovative advancements in motoring. I've owned a french car, the Peugeot 205 GTI for 10 years and love it. I have 2 GTRs. I'd say there are more wanker Skyline drivers than Citroen and Peugeot drivers.

My Uncle owns a Citroen Xsara, bought new. Its a very luxurious car and mechanically its great but its been back for warranty service four times for electrical issues. During that time they gave him a new Alfa Romeo 156 as a courtesy car lol damn that was a sweet car.

And yeah on both cars the indicator stalks were on the left which is weird but it only took a few hours to get used to, but I bet I looked like an L plater at the start when I kept activating the windscreen wipers

WOW 2 pages and nobody has mentioned Volvo drivers, I used to have a sticker on my helmet saying " Volvo aware rider" they wre a bread of their own back in the 80's but they seem to have realised their mistakes and now are seen to be a class car, I'm still wary of them, never had a problem with the frogs though I'm sure they have their percentage of unaware drivers as well.

I know its not what this thread is about but...

I have more trouble with Holden SS Ute drivers. Everytime someone wants to drag me at lights or pulls up next to me (whilst moving) and revs their engine it's a bloody SS Ute! What makes them think they could beat a GTR anyway? Mostly I ignore them and let them be... mostly.

Lol the thread title made me giggle like a girl :)

HOLY SHIT indicator stalk on the wrong side, must be a pretty unsafe car with shit build quality.

I wish people would have a more broad mind and get over a badge/brand/model.

werd. get over the holden hate people.

Although old people are a reasonable scapegoat. Once I saw this old couple merging onto a country freeway. exept they didnt merge, they drove along the shoulder for quite awile. f**k it was funny.

I would say what thype of car they were driving, but It doesnt matter. I see heaps of suburban drifters in beaten up silvias then anything else, although there is still plenty of guys in old commys.

You would burn all these insanely brilliant cars?

EVEN CITROEN have had some important cars in their history. Citroen DS anyone? When it came out way back in 1955, it was a symbol of French technology. It had power steering, four wheel disk brakes (inboard at the front), headlamps that turn with the car (like Mercedes have JUST brought in), fully independent hydro-pneumatic self levelling suspension with adjustable ride height, sleek aerodynamic body (for the time), front wheel drive (once upon a time thought to be a good thing), hydraullic semi-automatic clutchless gearbox, and in the big engined models it could hit 120mph.

So not all French cars should be burnt. Just the senior citizens that drive them.

Fin.

I went through a round about yesterday, and a senior citizen in a hyundai literally did not look to his right (Where i was coming from) when he pulled on to the round about, Strong application of brakes and middle finger and i was again on my way. It just shits me when people don't even pay attention to the traffic arounf them

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
