To Get A Skyline Or Not

[AJ2235]

there won't be many people here who tell you not to get one, if you've got the money and the love for it do it. at times they can be a bit of a hassle but i love my 33 and its a big step up from a vt

Don't get an R33 if you want X factor lool. Though even an R33 will piss all over a VT in terms of the way it drives, power and braking.

Marc is possibly the biggest failtroll of the forum. Come on this guy likes MAGNAS.

there is a stigma attached to skylines so dont say we didnt warn you.

i bought my skyline because it was cheap power / plenty of parts / mods and as much as its 13 years old i still think they look fairly good.

Three kinds of people when you own a Skyline.

People who think your an irresponsible motorist because you drive a skyline

People who don't know or car about skylines or cars in general.

and finally the third and largest group, those who think your a wanker because you drive a skyline.

Be prepared for all the Adidas wardrobe, kebab eating and womans car jokes from Bogans and the general public alike.

Lol

If i had a dollar for every time I've heard, "your sister wants her car back" and "only milk and juice comes in 2 litres" I would Have an SL65 AMG black as a daily and only drive my skyline when I want to, my current daily is an SR5 Corolla Lol, 4WD power !

Get a GTR. They drive like nothing else, lots of power, handle extremely well and driving will no longer be a chore but a pleasure. Just make sure you get a well maintained one that at least looks fairly stock (for the cops) and isnt obnoxiously loud. You should be prepared to spend some money if things go wrong, especially if you can't do the work yourself, and more frequent servicing than for a commo or similar. I guess it depends how many kms youre gunna do as well - might not be that practicle if you do mega kms. But the same goes for any car that is any fun...

fatties -> wear and tear on bolsters + window winder cables to snap

Hope you're OK/uninjured.

Hope you've got insurance.

Repairable write-off?

[bozodos]

I think 20 years of people sliding in and out has done the most wear lol, and how can you possibly relate that to the window cable snapping?!

I get paranoid when someone fat wants to sit in my car, also worried that the fact some tool steps on my shiny gtr scuff plate first rather than placing their foot outside the car.

[defari]

it was a lol worthy situation.. freind of a freind.. she opened the door and snapped the handle clean off.. she was embarrassed, but yeah i said dont worry its ok... i think the embarrassment was punishment enough..

[NYTSKY]

To me, Skylines are hypo cars and modifying them is a must, so have PLENTY of coin stashed away somewhere. I cant stand them in stock form.

If it is going to be a daily and lived with everyday, buy an EVO.
