100 Questions for Skyline owners

[funkymonkey]

guys, make sure you quote the original post then take out the [ quote ] bits. If you leave the questions out its hard to read 100 responses.

Not doin anything with the results, its not a survey or anything... most of it is actually translated from the japanese cefiro/skyline club questionairre (which is why one of the questions is "do you use winter tyres"... sorta irrelevant in australia, maybe I should have changed it to "have you ever used slicks on your car").

68. If the Skyline you own did not exist, what would you be driving right now?

Probably a BA XR6.

69. A lot of Skyline owners are changing to Evo's, what do you think of them and would you change?

Too small. I like the Skyline because it's not ricey and you never see them parked in Northbridge with fluffy bunnies and hello kitty sh*t plastered all over the interior.

HID. Although they are really annoying for other drivers.

72. What is the first mod that you would do on a stock version of your car?

Pod filter... cheapest

73. Is there a mod in particular that you would like to never see done to a Skyline?

Those awful bent up "drift-style" cannons. Cannons in general actually. Everyone has one though.

Not really. I'm happy with my RWD.

RB30+TT. 3.5" Turbo Back. FMIC... well... just about everything that everyone already does

80. Would you upgrade the hub assembly of your car? (eg 4 stud to 5 stud)

Nah, no need. Why bother?

81. Would you upgrade the air-con system in your car? (eg manual to climate control)

If I could replace it with something a little more user friendly I would

Just the solenoid hack

83. Do you own any spare parts for your car that aren't needed yet?

Not yet, but soon.

84. If it was feasible to own a second car identical to yours, would you?

No. If I had a second car it would be something newer, better on fuel and different. I'd keep the Skyline for cruising only.

85. How much have you spent on repairs to your car?

Nil as yet... but up to $400 soon to respray a scraped bumper.

86. If you see another Skyline which has been modified differently, do you pick faults in it?

No, unless they are trying to make it look like something its not (i.e. hub upgrade to look like turbo, GTR badges and other regalia). Also if modifications are done to the detriment of power/stability/etc just to make more noise (read: tightening up your blow off valve to the point where your turbine starts going backwards and venting out the pods).

87. Have you ever watched Initial D, and do you think your car would have beaten Takumi?

I have never watched it...

88. Would you buy a scale model of your car, and how much would you be willing to spend up to on it?

I have been LOOKING EVERYWHERE for one and I would be willing to shell out upwards of $400-$500 for one... but I can't find it anywhere

89. Would you buy a remote control model of your car, and how much would you be willing to spend up to on it?

Mitch's car before it got totalled by a commonwhore.

93. Would you do a face swap/upgrade (ie R34 front on R32, C33 front on A31, etc)?

No. But I would consider the running gear from the 34,

94. What would you consider the locally produced equivalent of your car?

Toyota Aurion... not very exiting I know.

95. You are offered to pick straws, one straw will get you free mods of your choice and track time to test them, the other will see your car returned to factory standard. Would you pick straws?

For sure. Giving up a lousy pod filter versus all that! It'd be worth 90 bucks!

96. You are to attend a track day, however your car gets damaged, and have the following choices:

- run the same model as your car, but with a fully tuned RB20E engine. The car has done 150,000kms, and the engine has done 50,000kms.

- run the same model as your car, but with a RB20DET auto. The car has done 500,000kms, and the turbo has done 60,000kms.

- run your damaged car

What would you do?

Run my damaged car.

97. If you were to grade yourself as an expert on Skylines, what would you be out of 100?
