Hey, hows it going? The name's Andrew and I'm 19. Here's a bit of background about my obsession with Skylines.

First off, I'll start by saying I DON'T currently own a skyline :P but I'm a huge fan of them ever since I first saw one (back when R32 and R33 GTS-Ts was a very rare sight on the roads).

The sexy looks they had got me intrested, but it was a ride in a mates Tommy Kaira R33 GTS-T (shame it was auto) that I started to relise that these things are the perfect package: show AND go.

Needless to say, I have wanted one in my driveway ever since.

Having cousins and mates who owned turbo imports, they pretty much advised me to steer away from a turbo import cos for my age (and virtually no job), maintaining one is going to be the biggest cost killer.

If you cant afford to keep it, then it doesnt matter if you can afford to buy it.

So that's how I ended up with the CH Lancer I have now. Perfect for now (except the street cred, good looks, power etc of a Skyline of course) until I get off my P's and get a real job. Also gives me time to save up for either a R32 GT-R or a R34 GT-T coupe and the mods. :D

Found out about SAU ages ago, but didn't sign up cos I knew I was still way off from owning one, but in a few years I hope to own one, so I thought now would be a good time to sign up and learn about the pitfalls associated with one so when it comes time to buy, my research is properly done. :P

I posted some pics of the car I have now (few things have changed since these photos, but looks basically like that), so if you see me, give us a yell. :D

If theres a members ride section (for non-skylines) then I would post them there with some other pics of the interior etc..

Cheers.

hoenstly? i will trade you my cefiro for that..

...wtf you want a skyline for when you have that??

i'd have that over a skyline personally

...you're a freak mate. :banana:

Serious? Thanks mate. Always loved the Skylines, always will. Give me a choice of a Lambo or a R34 GT-R, then I can guarantee I'll walk away with the keys of the GT-R. :D Yes, I am a freak. LOL

Welcome....not bad for a bloke with virtually no job!

LOL Yeah, I say virtually no job cos drug dealing and mugging aernt considered legitament jobs. BAAAHAHAHHA Nah, jokes. I just get a few bucks here and there from parents and from helping out as a waiter. :banana:

welcome welcome!!! first off.... wow i hate lancers (non evo) but hell man uve managed to make that look quite nice.... im sure its practical and cheap to run for ya! plus u will get alright resale when u make the move to a skyline!!

Thanks mate. Glad you like it. The R32 in your avatar looks pretty good..... wanna swap? LOL used to hate Lancers, but after searching around, I found that they were pretty good for what they are, especially the later models (CG, CH). Its still practical, but nowhere near as practical as what it would of been from the factory (subs, amps, PS2 etc). That's why I have a daily VN Commodore to thrash and to park at the train station when school rolls around again. :D:thumbsup:

lol not really, dad lives in pakky and i come past every weekend and stay.

So u come down to pak to wash ur car?? lol its not a bad car wash aye :D

Yeah, its alright. Never really packed so its good for a wash when I'm in a hurry, whereas the Narre one I usually go to is packed. Otherwise, if I'm at school I go to the Yarraville/Footscray one. :(

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.

      These things happen And I believe "we, the people, who modify stuff, and actually use it, cannot have nice things" It's just a shame that it happened so soon after paint  I still win the award for quickly destroying newly painted panels I think, as my car came back from the paint shop all nice and shiny, until about 4 hours later when the boot was destroyed by a wayward locker that was blown around by the wind.... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and poorer.....dooh

      R33 disk brake size

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This. And also, the rotor thickness is constrained by the calipers. Cannot be much thicker, if at all. Cannot be much thinner, if at all. New rotors are....fairly cheap. Turbo calipers can still be picked up for sensible money. Arguably, the best thing is to get R32 calipers and put them on mount spacers on 324mm discs. That's about the cheapest and easiest way to get quite large brakes that are essentially bolt on. And that's despite maintaining for years that the R32 calipers are not the best choice because they seem to be more flexy and creaky than the others. If you were prepared to put up with nasty little NA sliding calipers, these will still seem like Brembos by comparison.

      Why would you not fit the biggest possible brakes?
