This is clearly about individual preference, no one can be just"mainstream" and go for the race look. Every one has their own opinions and tastes, this is what makes us individuals, the thing i dont get is why you get looked down upon if you do have chromes? So what .. the bloke loves his bling .. in his eyes he has bought rims for his car that HE thinks looks nice. Im not saying they are really friggin' good, but then coming onto the forums and posting it up, then getting flamed to the shithouse makes the driver feel a lil' "unwanted" and makes them feel like an outsider.

So whatever the mod, a skyline is a skyline. Whoever has their own opinion on what it SHOULD look like, keep it as an opinion and not a generalisation of what it should be.

I might just be 17, but i just wanted to get my point across.

One of my opinions is, a god damn monster tacho sitting in the wrong position with multi coloured backgrounds on a skyline would look really eww in my opinion.

Nicely said there young fella :)

Nissan made the Skyline and the Silvia as part of their sporty lineup.

Skyline is the masculine car, Silvia is feminine.

Therefore the Skyline must be modified with this in mind. Putting feminine sh!t on it like chrome wheels, bling lighting, pumping Backstreet Boys (with lyrics like "oh girlll" :) ), kits that soften the tough body lines, whistling BOV's- all deride the masculine qualities of the Skyline.

I'm not sexist and i reckon women can own whatever car they can afford, but it looks more natural to see a lady in a Silvia rather than a Skyline IMHO.

Can't stand frangipani's or butterfly stickers or girly stickers..

They're supposed to look mean/tough.. girly things ruin the overall look..

I agree about the chromies.. and ugly air brushing/paint jobs.

Oh oh and I bollocksing hate the backstreet boys..

I think that its hard to point to specific things (apart from the usual +50 offset chromies, or cheap kits) but evevyone knows when they spot a really tough car. The owner just gets a whole host of options right and the cra just works.

Personally I'm a fan of the understated look. Stock bodywork but with nice big 18's to fill the guards.

Ponies before chromies!

That is soo cool!!

the sounds that come our of it ie the persons music tastes....

- a completely stock car

- stock rims

& P plates....

-Some people dont have enough money to modify their cars yet, or simply dont see the need to, which is most people. I'm in the first vote, I get paid shit all, but I am trying my best

-See above

-Do you think we like wearing P-plates? If I had the choice, I'd take them off, but I dont want to run the risk of being caught without them. Its a $2000 fine here in WA I think.

There are ricers, then there is that thing!! That is so ugly!! Whats with the eggsadurated bonnet? Or the centralised GT-R badge!! Thats the worst thing, the f*ucking GT-R badge. ITS NOT A F*CKING GT-R!!!!

Interior looks ok though. Looks like it has 5-stud hubs, so possibly turbo?

Can we change the plates from:

WBF - 185 to

WTF - 18S (seconds...)

:(

Some 747 boeing airplane must be missing a part that seems to be on the front of that blue skyline.

But seriously 20" chromies, clear tail lights and people with subwoofers listening to there techno loud, I mean shit, its just embarrassing.

    • Big claims here.  Any links up on the website ?   
    • If your HP goal is reasonable and you are not drifting. Buy a new R34 box.  If the above is not true, buy a wrecked R33 box and put a gearset in it.  CD09 are not as strong as you think and the cost of / mess around of the conversion puts you in gearset territory.    Also the deal above is awesome,, get that  
    • Just got back from a little hands-on with a G58 Baron....I was thinking about this... ..best I can figure it, that pinny was tail-ended ...I didn't really think about the wiring, because all that mattered was the tank and pump cradle (I think I mentioned the pump itself I couldn't vouch for)...which didn't matter, as you said you'd be replacing the pump anyway.... ...'for some reason'....and I imagine this is the panel shop's doing... they've replaced the cradle wiring with a metre of 7-core trailer loom, and attached the loom plug (from a different car) to that. The actual cable run from the top of the pump cradle, to fuel pump harness end in boot, is maybe 60cm in length...so I've no idea why they did this... ....the connector in the boot of the pinny, is not going to help you here...because in theory, it should still be present on your car. On top of that, because they've done what they did, we have no idea which colours of the trailer cabling, have been connected to what on the fuel pump cradle (pump +/- , shield, fuel guage/low-level senders)... ...this means, best approach is to remove the pump cradle, and re-work it now ...not later. That is, if you were going to replace the pump, do it, replace the soft lines at the same time...and sort the wiring out (replace that trailer cable with the wiring loom off your old cradle)...
    • Well, maybe not. The main feature of Chinese manufacture seems to be incredibly variable quality, coupled with an apparent willingness to find a way to see even the stuff that fails QC. So the military could still take the cream of the production run and somehow sell the "sellable but not really useable" stuff to the stupid round eyes on the other side of the world.
    • Have you adjusted the clutch pedal rod? You can wind it in to shorten it. Just can be a cnut to get to.
