i have a 33 sedan for sale ,but its manual.

[Chris Rogers]

need auto though. tried to get her to drive manual (both vans are manual.) she won't

[gts25t4door]

mine is auto so she could even take it for a drive if she wanted, but please done crash it.

[Revhead]

Well you're already ahead of many first-time Skyline buyers, just by being on these forums *before* you buy the car. And it's not like you don't know 33's

that part is mostly taken care for due to revhead and his old 33 coupe.

Ooh nice. So am I in trouble?

You could use that to your advantage though... lol

You can always have a look at mine at some time, its a series 2 aswell so it would be a good comparison for your wife. There a some major differences in the series 1 and 2 sedan, the biggest one being the battery has been relocated back under the bonnet giving much more boot space.

Some pics can be found here :

I also have access to another series 2 sedan in silver if you wanna compare colours

Well I showed Chris my sedan and now all we have to do is pray to the skyline god that she lets him go ahead with the purchase. Good luck Chris.

I am not one for beating around the bush so my only advise on the topic of convincing the missus to go with the Skyline is "Skyline or divorce".

If she leaves you then you can get a R34GT-R after you sell everthing during the split

Jokes.

For years my wife was NOT in favour of me getting a skyline.

2 doors... they're just not a family car!

I took her for test drive, when we got back to the car yard, she had a silly grin & was looking for the cheque book!

A week later she found a 4door skyline - I told her ALL 4doors are non turbo and aren't as fast.

Yes, a small white lie, but it worked!

I think I used the same angle with the Auto vs Manual - it worked!

yes dear, they are very economical, parts are easy to find...

it does down hill from here

this is fun. she drove a camry afterwards.. trying to tell here that the distance from the front of the rear seat to the front seat is the same as the camry.

(worst goes to worst I'll buy the car anyway!!)

that side I have gotten past. its the newborn in the backseat of a 33 that she doesnt quite follow. to me its a car (alright toy ) and she likes the noise and the push in the back insuance is damn near teh same as the starlet for here so I really don't see what the issue is.

I'm going to keep working on this

resort to their tatics...

buy something, hide it for a few weeks,

when asked, comment; 'that old thing, I've had it for ages'

don't even mention a camry - if she opens the boot (where the pram goes), it's all over.

Do what I did when I got the 34...

Took her to the caryard after hours to look at the car...she liked it but didn't say buy it...

A week later, bought it, picked her up from work and suprised her...no turning back
