I drove an old 87 CSX Seca automatic corolla throughout my uni years (about 4 years) until one day I saw an r32 gts-t parked there. It was only a few years old at the time and looked awesome...I found out that it was turbochrged and my interest grew from there...

I started picking up mags and noticed the R34 GT-T and said that these look even better and I justed wanted to have one!!! What made the skyline even more attractive was the fact that they used to be unstoppable at Bathurst...(I didn't know about the differences between the GT-R and GTS-T's a this time)

In Nov one 2001, after a year of working full-time and one month after I was married, I bought my first skyline..96 Series 2 R33 GTS-T (couldn't afford the R34!!)...The car was awesome...kept it for nearly two years in which time I did some mods, couldn't keep traction anymore and then decided to go for a GT-R!!!

I love the car and plan to keep it for as long as possible

I was drivig around a 79 TE Cortina from the age of 18. Did it up heapes motor/sterio/new paintjob/dumped etc and was a real fun car to drive. Then in 1998 1 of my mates got a s13 turbo which was fairley worked. I dragged him, he kicked my ass, i was mad and knew i had to get a better and classier car. Then after getting my degree and staring full time job i bought my line which was in 2000 and the mods continue now with this car

I bought mine because I wanted something that would be a good "hobby". Something I could keep improving, keep me intereted and excited. And something I could take to the track.

And I can't think of anything better than a Skyline for that.

Fell in love with Skylines when saw it in some mag, read about it etc, got on the net did some research, found this FORUM and yeah started saving like crazi... only few G's left and r33 will be in my garage cant waittttt

[nuffin_werks]

why a skyline, cause there sexy like me :love:

[fooey]

I never used to like skylines... I was so much a fan (and still am) of the MKIV Supra... I wanted to get a nice mkiv tt supra rz, but realised that I coudln't afford it without having to take a loan... but I still didn't like the skylines (cause they were the enemy heh)

But then I actually got to test drive one, then another... then I bought one

Was gunna get an EFII XR6 and possibly turbocharge it but then went in a mate's sweet as R32 GTS-t.

Id never felt turbo-rush before and right there and then i was bitten by the skyline bug. 6months later i had my own!!!!

i had a mirage .. that sucked and soon as i got my licence i sold it and bought an S13 Sil80 (converted 180sx)

spent about 8k on that over the next 18mths of owning it, got it to just over 200rwhp and low 13 1/4 mile, then decided id rather a change than going the next step with turbo injectors etc on that car.

was getting ready to import an R32 GTS-T hopefully with an RB25 and some other mods from Prestige or the like, then my mate with a DR30 RS Turbo said he was thinking of selling so i waved some cash and the rest is history!

couldnt say no to a classic skyline!

Had an Audi A4 Quattro and got sick of paying thru the ass for mechanical probs.

OK- fess up time !!

I had a 2000 VT SS Commodore, Gen III. Modded mildly, it was pulling low 13's with just an exhaust, extractors, CAI and program.

Reason why i went the skyline ?? Although slower (as compared to same mods & cash needed to get the same performance), the skyline is a more capable all round car, in terms of handling.

Straight line power is fun for a while, but as a daily driver it is a bit of a barge ass...not to mention i got jack of the holden build quality..
