Well I got on there & sorted 'em out. Of course, I am one of them as well, but I need a tow car & the carbon fibre diffuser under the R34 gets in the way of the towbar!!!

We will have to watch out when they all start throwing big turbos on them though - seems all the dyno comp guys are running turbo

injected V8s. At least when it gets twisty we'll be gone.

"What can I say. I recently sold my ClubSport to buy a Skyline! The performance is unbeatable. It was a week of driving before I could get out of the car without shaking from adrenaline. Its not just a straight-line machine either. The cornering performance just has to be experienced to be believed. The HICAS (electronic 4 wheel steer) will change your life. A '93 Skyline has more features than a '98 clubsport! (climate control, electronics, lock system, etc etc etc). I'm totally sold on the skylines. You look at these cars, read the specs and think 'wow', but honestly, that does them no justice. You just can't imagine what they are like. Do yourself a favour, find a good Skyline driver, and ask for a ride. They aren't called Godzilla for nothing..."

Hardly does it justice, but how do you describe to a Holden owner what a Skyline is like? Its like trying to describe sex to a virgin...

I think it's funny in that thread there is someone saying "2 many R33's round these days" in a Commodore forum!

hahahahahahahahahahahhaaaa

It would be good for US if skylines were so common in a way.. we would get heaps of cheap parts etc :P and cheap insurance!!!

ahhh well its nice to dream

Guilt-Toy, I don't care that R33's are common either, but I do get annoyed to hear the "R33's are everywhere" thing, when they are still far far short of Commodores and Camries and Falcons etc. No one ever comments on that, not even me because I really don't give a toss :P

I thought they were very open in there comments and most of them did not cut imports down like they normally do. I loved my SS when I had it but my skylines is a much nicr and faster car to drive but I'm sorry, you just cant beat that V8 roar. (except a GTR with open external watergates)

Good on you guys.

they have been quite good on there actually. i'm keeping an eye on the post. they know they cant match a skyline for performance. they complain about 'riced' cars, with wings etc. mods to make a slow car look better, but what about all the dunny lids on commodore bonnets!?! and the stupid wings (like hrt bathurst size wings), and other half assed mods (under chassis lights, where only one side works). they are way worse than 'riced' jap cars. its just so common everyone's used to it

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
