i admit it they do look like fun. my skyline is better on fuel but mine is non turbo so im not sure what a turbo one is like. in my opinion they are a great car made for off roading so as long is its going to be used off road as well it would be good pick, unlike my mate who has never used it off road.

i totally agree with you, its a cheaper hobby than gambling

if they lowered or cut the tax on fuel that would help, but my skyline is good on fuel anyway.

one of my mates got one and he didnt even really look into them which was kinda silly. anyway ive been it it quite alot and the things ive found out are: they go through alot of fuel, very loud you can hear alot of wind noise ( he has the hard top) and yes its loud when the top is on you have to speak very loud. hitting bumps and speed humps actually hurt. he is for ever cleaning his windscreen because of bugs always hitting it. you can buy lockable clips to put on the bonnet my mate bought some.i think the only good things about them is that you can drive them off road. oh yeah also the indicators are on the opposite side. im not hear to just say i hate them im just stating everything i felt while in it and what my mate said about it while driving it. i hope this helps, if you have anmore questions about them and how they drive just ask i might be ablt to help you since ive been in my mates quite a bit, only because he dosn't drink lol.

hey and welcome. im still new hear myself and this is the best place to get info on skylines, i researched for about 6 months before i found the right one that i wanted for now. someone that kinda lives near me, well actually kinda near my work. anyway im from sunbury and work at airport west so its not to far away only like 20mins. need any questions answered this forum is definately the way to go.

i thought id post some better pics of my car cause the other ones were pretty shit, so hear they are tell us what ya think. i have a funny story. out of my whole town that i live in i have never seen a skyline so i thought cool ill be the only one, when i got it i saw a nice r32 then when driving home i see a silver r34 and i thought cool i wonder where he is from, well i find out he lives on the same street as me now is that freaky or what.

i bought my r34 25gt from there for 13,000, i checked everything and took it for a drive the only problem was the centre console's hinges were broken while everything else was perfect. ive had it for 2 weeks now and loving it ill definately go there again, he gets new cars in there all the time, turbo's and n/a's i'd recomend them to other people.

thanks for your help guys. to explain it a little bit better in first gear if i take off really soft its fine but if i put my foot down a little bit more and it revs into the zone where you hear that horrible noise it vibrates a fair bit and then its fine, so hopefully its just that sound making it act like that.

sorry for bringing up an old topic but this sounds exactly like mine but my car is an r34 and its really bad. just wondering where you got the nismo muffler from and when in first gear did your car shudder a little bit when u accelerate but if u do it soft it is fine.

thanks for all your help. this forum is the best because you will definately get an answer and everyone are so helpful. im about to join so i can go to events and meet you all and check out some awsome skylines, most of my mates don't like cars and the ones that do love holdens or fords and a couple others love gemini's. apoligies for the bad grammer i tend to just type and send, i should probably check over it first.

ok cool thanks for your help your a legend.

hey guys and girls im just wondering if any of u have heard of this sticker before it says now racing then in smaller letters it says nissan prince chiba racing team. i thought if it was a dealership i thought it would be on the windscreen and usually just a simple made sticker. mine is on the rear of the car on the boot on the right ill post up a pic. its probably something lame anyway but i was just wondering if anyone had herd of it. one more thing did any skylines come with gold writing like mine does in this pic or did the last jap guy buy or make em himself. thanks in advance.

if it would throw the car back then you could use it as a weapon, imagine the damage it could cause.

hear is my 4 door r34 25gt just picked it up last week and i love it. i was thinking of going turbo but i don't really trust myself at the moment so ill wait a couple more years plus i cant really afford one yet ill wait until i finish my course and get into the job i want. its pretty much stock except for the bigger turbo brakes which look awsome. ill have better photos soon.one more thing have u ever herd of the sticker on the back of my car it says now racing then in smaller writing nissan prince chiba racing team. has anyone herd of that before?

that is cool wouldn't mind one of those in my backyard it would come in handy, looks almost as fun as my hot wheels radar gun lol.

i have a yellow paper panel filter on my r34 im not sure what brand it is but it was on it when i got it. anyway above 4000rpm i can hear a sucking noise it sounds pretty cool. and in my old car i had a k and n air filter and it used to make more of a whistling noise, but both weren't really loud but you could hear them without the radio on.

i think these are the ones everybody likes.

im definately with all you guys i cant stop looking at it. when i get out of my car i keep looking back just to look at it. i did that at a parking lot the other day and nearly got hit by another car and when im at home i keep looking out the window just to see it, its crazy i think im hypnotyzed by it lol. in fact im hypnotized by all skylines i cant stop looking at them i think i have skyline-itis i might need to go and see a doctor about it.

thats definately the best advice. im looking into new exhausts at the moment.

hear is some pics of my new skyline that i just picked up on saturday and im loving it only thing is i have a exhaust rattle between 2 and 3000rpm but ive herd its the twin cams and something to do with the vibrating effect through the exhaust at this frequency i think i read that hear anyway as long as it isnt a problem with the engine im happy. im definately joing the skyline club so if your from vic i hope i meet ya out there at some meetings and cruises. just thought id better add i bought the car im not a rich kid and parents bought it for me i saved up for it myself which makes it feel more special to me anyway, im not trying to start any trouble with people that there parents bought it for them im just stating for myself that i bought it.

is your fuel bill really bad? i thought mine was pretty good with my r34 and its non turbo. when i filled it up i was scared i thought it was going to cost me a fortune but it only cost me 57 bucks and thats with v-power anyway i suppose its how u drive it and where your driving as well. also just a quick question dose your exhaust rattle in a certain rev range ive herd that alot of n/a skylines do, then i herd it's only the twin cams that make the noise mine does it in between 2 and 3000rpm.

that looks awsome, looks just as good if not better without the rear spoiler, but then its personal choice if you want to keep it off or put it on, but either way it looks awsome.

ill probably first fix the radio so i can at least listen to triple m then ill probably go a 2 1/4 exhaust to get rid of a rattle its making. the rattle is worse when i first drive it and it only happens between 2 and 3000rpm ive herd it has something to do with the twin cams or i could just have something loose in the exhaust and when it heats up it stops, nothing to major but ill get an exhaust place to check it out soon anyway. oh one more thing im soooooooooooo going to join up id like to meet new people and make new friends that like what i like, hope ill see some of u guys and girls in the future.

hear are the pics of my new r34 skyline

it seemed like a good dealer he was a nice guy as well so i was happy to buy my skyline from there he said he was buying one of those nissan v35's, and they come with an 8 speed auto, that would be one smooth ride it must cruise at a very low rpm.
