Chill guys, you're gonna give Skyline owners a snobby reputation...guy has enough guts to admit he was beaten fair and square and just wants to see if he can find the owner. Beats the hell out of the tailgating and loser fly by twits I come across in the same situation. There aren't that many dark blue R32's out there with red rollcages...I'm sure if the owner saw this thread they'd be able to identify.

Probably a heavily modified GTS-T, as GTR's usually have no trouble launching without leaving the black lines (though not impossible).

Yeah, doesn't spring to mind here either... Unless Duncan took the new shell out? :blush: though last I heard it was just that... a shell...

I've spent quite a bit of time in a Boxter S, have to say, they aren't all that impressive. They look pretty, and you get some evil stares with L plates on it (that was fun) but other then that, they aren't super fast vehicles.

Was it a dark blue?

Angled exhausts could have been a blue s15 or so as they can leave black lines on the road wth ease as be very fast with a built motor

OP did say it was an R32 a couple of times, plus its pretty hard to mistake a s15 for an r32.

A GTR with exhaust, decent clutch and stock turbo's at 1bar will smash a boster s.

I know cause my best mate bought a boxster s (997) and he couldnt do anything to even keep up.

Boxsters arent bad though if all you do is drive to work and back

nah mines just a garage queen when its not racing :)

got a bluebird as a daily run around - plaza as in on thursday night at the central coast?

Ha no no, the LC plaza, I was wondering if you're miata's ever up there. I think I might have seen the U13 about? Pardon the unintentional pun, but is it blue?

very true, theres no feeling better than smoking a dude in his middle life crisis porsche.

Speaking of which, i saw a 350z the other day with the number plate MIDLYF, thought it was pretty original

Theoretical 13s, given the ambient temperature is correct, the tyre pressure is correct, there is no wind, the air is thin, blah blah blah blah

they're slow full stop, I loved the look on that guy's face when I beat him (going to the speed limit, I think?)

I also get beaten by those scooters old people use!

Some of those yes, have been modded!

The Aussie flags are just a disguise.

Or if you get hit by one, you mustn't get mad 'cause sighting the flag from Oz helps you feel right at home on the pavement lolz

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
