Got A Solution For Ppl Sick Of Skylines Being Stolen...


Recommended Posts

I have had 3 skylines .. a 33 series 1 a 33 series 2 and an r34 gtt.

Love the fact that they are 206 kw factory... hate the fac that someone wants to steal them every chance they can.

Insurance is expensive, some ppl dont even have insurance.

But where are you going to get a car with style with the following options;

200kw factory

AWD

Smooth look and feel...all the fruit you need!

4 Cylinder turbo, cheap to run, insure and register....

And stealth enought to not attract the attention of the law and criminals?

Legnums are deff' the go if you want a turbo wagon 2.5 litre twin turbo V6 (6A-13) and they are cheaper, iron chef has a few from 10,800 to 14,500, that or a stagea.

still the soccer mums car but....

hmm ive read nothing but stolen r32/33/34's for months, now ive heard knife point car jackings and ram raids for a skyline.

I would rather have a caldina with the same power as a skyline but without all the bullshit any day..

And they look tough.

you know you can get up to a 2007 model one of these.

Yes the Iron Chef has a couple but they are pre 2002.

you can now pick up a Audi A4 b6 turbo quattro for mid 20 - 30's (avant if you are looking for wagon)

the pre 02 caldina looks poo and i doubt 03 onward will be any cheap

it really makes me wonder why imports?

when i had my S13 or r33 5,6 years ago

there were nothing in the market provide similar options, performance and style for under $60,000

imports were the obvious choice, as a shitty E36 318i costs more than a R33 gts-t

now they are no longer the most money for value

I still own one only because I am passionate about skyline

if I have to make a sensible change I would have a decent look around before I consider an import again

A soccer mums car is a toyota torago, or a an urban SUV/4wd.

Legnums and WRX Wagons and Caldina are not soccer-mum cars, they are hatches and wagons, furthermore, there is no such thing as "soccer" in Australia. its football. Soccer resides in the US.

    • 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  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
    • Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago
    • I just bought the Nexus S3 for my gtt, haven’t installed it yet as I’m collecting parts to do everything at once…so far spent $14,000 The Nexus is nearly future proof
