  1. GTR badge on a GTST - tisk tisk........ but seriously nice Car mate......wheels looks the biz too
  2. i have never seen anyone overtake like this at bathurst specially going up the mountain......... ENJOY..
  3. i am also buying a V35 Sedan as our family car, but a bit hasitant due to the lack of information about them... Oh forgot........GO the EVO.....6 / 8 (Evo 6 classic; last of the rally wining Evo's....8 looks Nice..but the 7 looks a bit hmmmm.....out of place ) does anyone know the fuel consumption of the V35.....also 8speed Box reliability......
  4. :sorcerer: Nissan celebrated five decades of production of the Skyline saloon at a swish party in Tokyo yesterday. This 50th anniversary bash, staged at Tokyo Midtown, absolutely the most glamourous of megabuck Tokyo city developments, brought together Skylines old and new, as well as some of the men behind this Japanese sporting legend. Men such as Shinichiro Sakurai, the 78-year-old development chief for the original ALSI 1.5-litre Skyline (Japan’s first sports saloon) and Tatsuo Osawa, chief product specialist for today’s new V36 Skyline, a car that’s definitely big in Japan right now and selling well over target, gathered to celebrate. The party, held exactly 50 years to the day since the very first Prince Skyline was launched in April 1957, also saw the unveiling of the new V36 Skyline Coupe, essentially Japan’s version of the 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe. This rear-drive, 3.7-litre coupe goes on sale in Japan later this year and is on track to be one of the first Infiniti models when Infiniti goes live in the UK in 2008.

  5. your a one lucky guy to have thas kind of options open !!!!!.....silly Q to ask in a skyline forum though....but i think above all the, GTR has that X factor about it......although i think in twisty stuff the evo will probably thump it...
  6. Man......their are some crazy around.......with lot of spare money and Time.
  7. Just buy a Cheap run about till you get you full license, then from the saved money (just on petrol alone ), Go buy a Fully Siiick Liner....
  8. I saw you at stones corner on last friday afternoon/night.....
  9. My god this is very scary to hear....i guess doing the backgroud work before buying really helps....any hope you get it back...and its obviously the guy is not on holiday. he must have had a small altercation with the car....and try to fix up ASAP... Can you Plz...PM me the place....Just wanted to know...so i can keep well away....and WORD of Mouth PEOPLE....make sure not another liner goes near !!!!..
  10. well, demand can be because of various reasons....i personally think there are too many of them around also the whole hoon image...but don't want to go their... which state are you in....depending on that every state sub forum will have tread/s about workshops and most workshops do inspections for a fee (compression, leak down test, general under body corrosion , accident damage, cooling system and so on) also check for it to see if the car has clear title (no loan or finance owing) can also do VIN check....their is tread for that in this forum too... My advice go for a mint S2 r33 GTST (the newer the better) 40th anniversary model is the most sort after R33 S2 - pre loved one already in the country and trust me you will be very happy. Good luck
  11. Yap....Thats me....is that flaired front guards you got mate....they look good
  12. you should be able to get Good S2 stock standard (exhaust/POD) for about 16,500 - 18K the latter with really good wheels and FMIC.etc.. The problem is lot of people have them for sale but can not sell them (No demand) so even if it's listed for 18K if your a serious buyer should be able to get it down!!!!.. as for K's well...All Japs are like that..so just check for condition of the car and get good checkup done by Jap Performance workshop (not by VicRoads/RACQ). then you should be ok, also do a 100,000K service regardless of the K's if the current owner dont have receipts for it. i got mine for 16,500 mint example but it was for sale at 18500.....you should track carsales/carpoint for some time and spot the owners getting desperate as time goes by and bounce...worth or not market is determine by demand :sorcerer:
  13. May be he was talking about the GTR...I am preety sure no GTR were made with Sunroof "Body rigidity issue probably..." I have seen many R33GTS - R34GT with sun roof....but not R32GTS....maybe their just rare...
  14. Saw this nice White S1 R33 on Clarindale Shopping center with SAU Stickers and again in Newham road yeasterday afternoon !!!...no i am not following you mate
  15. Wow...you must have some balls to buy an R32 GTR on an auction....some old GTR can be nightmares to maintain...hence the term "the GTR ownes you"......this may may not happen to you...good luck though..... check for compression and leak down test....also full service...hope it 'snot haffing any blue smoke or and the lower bearing are going strong still.... enjoy the Godzilla...
  16. now i like to say that R33 gtst (My car) is faster than R34Gtt but 184KW against 208KW in the R34 is no egligible power increase.....plus the improvment in tourq delivery due to VVT....
  17. i think he means the gtst ....a R33 Non Turbo's are well......hmm....not very fast
  18. Wow....4 sec's that bloody good mate....as for me....i will have to be with emsta2003.....in the low 7's...not that i ever timed though..no mods execpt for usual POD (could make it worse than air box!!! HEHE) & exehust...plus the Sub and AMP shit....
  19. A good car is good car.....Skyline or not
  20. Nice one Mate, i never new about this....so your is a factory option.....Crazy Jap's....all the cool stuff are options on R33,,, 1. Digital Dash 2. Active LSD 3. Xenon Lights And i dont have any on my S2 --- atleast got air bags and ABS as standard..
  21. hmm..did not know that the Ti had SR20de motor.....Nice
  22. Took the words right out of my mouth ......wait till the full license mate and get a proper Skyline....and by the looks of R33 Pricess in a another 2 years you can buy one for free....oh...the owner might give you some $$$.
  23. mate, can you post the pics once you get them
  24. Damn....i though a Manual R33 could keep up with it, given that the chaser is Auto, I know there good..but never though that good.
  25. Hmmm.....Chaser for sure...... Does anyone Thought about the Tourqe from the TT motor should be significantly hight at Low reves than the R33... Never really driven a chaser though...
