Well today I take the first step on my road to skyline performance. In about 30 mins I will be sitting on a train for about 2 hours on my way to collect the divine fine line. Am I keen, bet your sweet arse I am. over 20 years I have waited for this. I will see some of you on the spit cruise tomorrow. WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO :)

he means it too

voted new car day = best day ever

I still remember mine. Getting the car registered, from slacks creek to mc greggor department of transport in 5 mins before they closed for the day. And getting pulled over by a cop in the cbd, then ordered to leave or he would defect me. Was a memorable new car day for me.

I disagree... New car day is great dont get me wrong...

Its extra special is its your first skyline or turbo, like popping your cherry... :D

But id have to say you first dyno tune after modifying your car is better, you get to drive the car with heaps more power... :)

^^^^^That is me today^^^^^ Hence why im so happy... :D

Im sure shane will back me up, once he gets the GTR back on the road and tuned he will be hapier than the day he bought the car...

Hopefully that will be me soon, Its time for a new car and I have been looking at R32 Skylines for a number of years of now. If my personal loan gets approved I will take it for a test drive next week. Never driven a turbo car or a skyline but have always dreamed of it.

Mine was great, the 323 I had was dying very slowly, then the weekend before new car day it died, I was able to revive it by ejecting all the water in no3 but it never ran quite as well as it sickly did before, and to step into sheer luxury, compared to a 323, was just the best day ever.

When i picked mine up i was stoked.. I kinda missed my old car though.. My old silvia i had spent over 15,000 on it..

But i got in the skyline... paid for it in p.h.a.t cash and then drove away..

I think the first thing the hit me was

"ahhh yeah.....!!!! theres room in this badboy"

6'2 and squeezing into a silvia everyday kinda sucked.. especially since i had the sunroof option too.

oh.. and putting the foot down was good too.. but more to the point i like the rooooooom in the car ;)

lol the performance can come later... but hey... i own a skyline lah lah lah lah lah

Orright WTF am I missin here. Piscofreakin WHAT! is this some kinda secret skyline handshake deal or somethin.

Interesting day. Took the sons for a blast, then their mates, then their mates mothers and fathers. I think I shoulda got a 4 door.

Then proceeded out to qld raceway for the sprint day. Caught up with Zenon and watched him run some really smooth laps. Very impressive zenon.

Next stop was willowbank strip for the evening test and tune session, (spectating only) Watched a fearsome sub 9 second line. Man that thing just rox. I grew up on the sound of hot v8s and they are impressive but nothing can prepare you for the sound of a line at these specs. Its just audio armageddon. Would give my left one to see that other one that ran the 7.6 second pass recently.

All in all a great first day in the fine line. Looking forward to tomorrow. :happy:

    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
