Skyline Being Used As A Family Car

[jeff]

hi guys and gals

One of the biggest question I had prior to buying a Skyline was will we fit with 2 kids? (1yo and 4yo) Searching the Net was impossible for pics ....

Im no bigfoot (only 6ft) and dont really sit up straight whilst driving but as you can clearly see, my little girl and boy has plenty of room

Here's some pics proving that you can comfortably fit 2 kids in the back of the GTR for your Mrs

The only whinge I have is that you really need to have enough room to open the door at least half way to get your kids in and out of it. BUT having the GTR outweighs any inconvenience I have at the moment

cheers

ps. boot space is no probs either...Ill post a pic up later after its filled with the weekly groceries

[gun32gtr]

nice work mate.when i have kids ill be sure to show my misses these photos lol

[jeff]

u might have a lil problem with the 32 though as the rear has less room

plus u'll have the seat facing the other way for 6mths or so which will definitely not fit

just tell her to sit in the back (behind you) to watch the baby and have the passenger seat all the way up the front....thatll do the trick

[Howie]

LOL... nice one. I've already told my missus, the 34's going to be our family car and that we don't need that 4wd. I'll be sure to show her this pic. hehe

Just wait till she complains that she has to bend in an awkward way to get the kids in and out. That is why I opted for a nice R34 4 Door. No problems then!!

that will the trick or will just keep her satria gti as well and not sell it

[jeff]

R34GTX.... if I cant get the real thing I may as well get a Forester XT

Howie... hahaha....show her these new pics. let me know what she comes back with. I have time to take some more photos for ya ... hahaha

gun32gtr.... already told her if we need the 2nd car, she can keep this and I get a 32 just waiting for that Lotto win now

here's $150 worth of groceries

shouldve spread them out instead of stacking but $150 worth is a fair bit

hahah... nice work with the pram and shopping.

We love the boot space of the skyline, it's heaps better than my last car. I've moved out my spare tyre and have a fiberglass sub box sitting in the wheel well, that way i can sorta do stuff like that.

[pontiff]

Ahhhhh but how many dead bodies can you fit in the boot? BMW design for about 3

If she complains about the doors then just convince her on a RB26 Stagea

Hotness

[r33gts-t s2]

God that RB26 Stagea looks mint how much would one of them set u back

[ultimatekenz]

Nice 34 front conversion as well.... HOT

There's a couple of Autech 260RS on J-Specs site, one as low as 25K, and that was the one with engine mods. HKS turbos, bigger injectors, sounds like a ripper family car for someone!

Getting kids in and out of the car will become easier once you throw those cradles out. Ive got 2 boys, aged 10 & 8 and they love coming for a ride in the 33

[lingeringsoul]

yeah, R33 has so much room inside the car, but unfortunately, it has jack all boot space..

[R33GTRVSPEC]

Yeah its a bit tricky to get them strapped in if you can't open the door very far, but apart from that its all good. My 2yr old loves coming in my GTR, he gets to watch DVDs on my DVD player.

How do you guys go with moving and flipping the seats forward? I find that in my R33 there isn't much room to access the back easily even with the seats fully forward and flipped. It's probably not so hard with the little ones but when you got 2 adults trying to squeeze back in there it can get plain annoying (for them anyway). No problem getting the doggies back there though, although they do prefer to ride shotgun.

R33 has decent boot space. We managed to fit 5 25kg bags of rice (125kg of rice in total) in there.

[gazza750]

i have no probs with kids in back of my 32 r ages range from 15 down to 3

[Yo-Yo]

A blue R34 gtr pulled into my work today & the owner had his missus & two kids with him.

What a cool dad

[32vspecII]

i can get a dbl jumbo pram in the back of my 33

can be a pain to get the kids in and out tho
