Hey everyone,

I don't own a Skyline yet, but a few questions about driving one have come to my mind lol. Maybe these are dumb questions, but in general I want to know. :D

Basically, if you have a Skyline with an aftermarket bodykit, or a factory one, does it get scraped often? especially going over the 20km/hr speed bumps/humps or just parking where there is a rectangular concrete block.

Whenever I see the following pictures of R34s/R33s/R32s, the above question just pops to my mind (I want to get a Skyline too :)). People who have rear diffusers, do you also experience some kind of damage while driving?

And how many of you use your Skyline as a daily car?

Thanks in advance. :D

Depends what kit like you said, and how low your shocks/springs or coilovers are. Also depends on if you give a crap or not.

I'm running my coilovers at their lowest setting and want to go a lot lower. My exhaust scrapes over pretty much every speed bump and my front lip does too.

It's my daily.

It's simple mate if your that worried about don't lower it or even better yet don't waste you time with massive kits or even better still buy a land cruiser... If your scrapping on shit then... You've got some issues....

    • Thanks Murray, appreciate the advice, a few things to think about now 😀 
    • After my million questions, I'll throw in my 2c now.  If I was in your shoes, I would buy the best/most modern ECU available. A Nexus S3 would fit the bill. It is highly likely that this ECU will last the life of the car, regardless of whatever ECU manufacturers develop in the future. Modern ECU's are amazing and will still be amazing in 10 or 20 years time. If you can get e85 relatively close to where you live, I would buy a flex sensor and size the injectors to run e85. I'd go a Walbro 525 fuel pump with relay wiring kit.  Turbo wise, I'd hit up HyperGear and get a pair of the biggest bolt on turbos.  Now for the safety side of things, I'd have the tuner setup the tune to be very soft/safe on 98. Then on the flex tune, a lot of the timing can be put back in on the top end (I'd run full boost on both tunes, but manipulate the power with the timing). This also has the benefit of hopefully delaying the, "bored now, need more boost" that comes with owning a modified turbo car. If you spend most of your time on the 98 tune, the few times your on e85 will hopefully stay special/fun.  The bad news. As your paying for labour and tuning, I don't think this will happen with $10,000. This might be the motivation to learn to do it yourself though, that way instead you'll have the built car and change from the $10,000
    • Cheers Duncan, on club reg and very much a weekender, don't drive it all that hard and don't intend to go overboard at any point in the future too. In my 40's and quite mature driver, just want that little bit more from it 😉 Sounds like, after ensuring everything is in good condition, ECU, Injectors, Fuel Pump and a set of turbos is likely to be my path forward. 
    • 15 years is not too long to hold onto something like that, right?
    • Hey man,   By any chance you still have sunroof for sale ?   Thanks
