and when you drive a 32R, people will ask, why not 33R or 34R

Because the GTR 32 are the lightest Sleakest GTR, 33s are not as pretty and the 34 is very chunky looking not my style.

As has been mentioned before, you own it, you drive it, you love it, that's all that matters.

I will say something though and hopefully this makes you feel better. Doesn't matter what type of car you have/own/drive, you will always be discriminated against.

Drive a "dressed up poser" Lancer and people will give you sh*t because you don't own an EVO... ESPECIALLY EVO drivers... To them, you own a FEVO = Fake EVO.

Drive an SS and HSV owners will tell you, "I have one" which makes you all sad and sh*t thinking to yourself, "I just want one" *rolls eyes*

Drive a WRX and you'll either wish you had an STI or STI drivers will look down on you (not really but it does happen)

Drive a Porsche Boxster and everyone thinks you're a poor arse because you can't afford a GT2/GT3.

Drive a Skyline and people that don't know much about Skyline's will automatically ask you if it's a GTR. When you say, "no" they just nod and stop talking about the car because they respect you less, especially if they've never driven or ridden in a GTR to even know the difference.

I'm not saying this is all fact but it does happen and some cases are more extreme than others but you will always be discriminated against, at the end of the day, don't give two rats what anyone else thinks, be happy you've got what you have and get on with it. You're thankful for what you have and that's all that matters.

The other thing that brings you down is the stereotyping:

"What do you drive?" "Skyline" "You drive a ricer!" They're Japanese built wtf? Or you're instantly labelled a hoon.

"What do you drive?" "VN 5.0lt" "Then you have to be a bogan"

"What do you drive?" "VS Ute" "You're a red neck!"

"What do you drive?" "VL" "Oh My God Uleh, is it fully sick??"

Where did this crap come from? A person's car is their choice alone. And who got the idea that Skylines are 4 cylinder?

    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.  
    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
