First Skyline - Na R33 S2

[SKYL1N]

A few months ago i posted my thoughts on buying a NA skyline due to P Plate Laws.

Many people went against this decision saying it takes the fun out of owning a skyline.

well i love it, its still the fastest car i have ever driven (much quicker then mums v6 magna)

and i can say to myself "i own a skyline"

mods are: tinted windows, lowered, After market rims, Exhaust tip to increase sound & nismo front spoiler.

I live in Kew in Melbourne so i will hopefully start to see you all around (im still on my L's)

NA FTW

Congrats brother bear!

Great feeling hay!..

Give it.. 6 - 10 months.. (perhaps less) and you will start looking for more poke and power.. its inevitable..

I really like the S2!.. It looks fantastic man!

Don't let anyone tell you NA is crap. I love my NA. Cheaper on insurance and petrol too... but as GTS4WD said... you will start looking for more power... its addictive

nice to have you on board Daniel. a nice clean car you go there; loving the avs (i think) rims. they definitely suit the car.

and yes you're right, at the end of the day owning a skyline isn't about owning a "turbo", it's about enjoying a car that looks good, handles better, and goes better than the average car on the street.

use this opportunity to learn the dynamics of the car, get a feel of how it handles, learn to control a rwd vehicle and just simply have fun. having an n/a doesn't mean you're slow, it just means you have to work that much harder to gain those extra few seconds.

any questions you have about your car, i'm sure many of us would be willing to answer them. be sure to search before hand in case your question has been brought up before.

cheers

edit: and while i agree that the search for power is addictive, keep in mind there's more to driving than just outright power; most wouldn't know how to get the most out of their 400rwkw gtst anyway. suspension, braking and driver skill also come into play

Congratulations mate!

my first car was a 94 R33 GTS. Was a great car and now im upgrading to a turbo. N/As are great for fuel and insurance purposes in comparison to the turbo versions (as stated above). And if i had a turbo for my first car i am positive i would have crashed it. So (as stated above) dont let people talk to you down about it. If turbo drivers give you shit about driving an N/A tell them your replacement parts cost a shitload less then theirs.

welcome to the club my friend.. and a N/A is just as fun to drive.. don't accelerate as fast on straight.. but just as fast in a corner.. and that's where all the fun in driving is.. =)
