OK, u got me there :)

I inherited the rover from my uncle, if u saw it u would like it...he forged the engine, lowered it and fitted 16inch rims which were colour coded to the car (in fact runs the same rims as the texaco touring car) back in 80s. Besides, i thought u liked 80s cars haha

cool :)

way off topic, sorry guys...here is a pic.

for me, it has sooo much sentimental value - i plan to drop a monster engine in it, not sure if i'll go twin turbo on the current setup OR a big block to shake the earth :)

Slopey rover it is haha

It has less than 80,000km on it....uncle bought it, worked it, hardly drove it.

In the 80s it was considered advanced with its electronics and features- it made my dads torana ss look like a dinosaur hehe

any hi res of the group photo above?

got it off facebook so unless you can find one using the watermark or tinyeye..sorry :unsure:

DR30 RS' and HR31 GTS-R's will always be cooler than any 90's GTR

and better looking

Mid 80's styling ftw!

each to their own and there are some fit looking eighties cars out there (retro jap thread anyone?) but skyline wise i much prefer the nineties models. Just a personal preference though.

right so this one isnt really GTR's but..close enough?

Wow! Awesome pics there Pat!

I wonder why the first one was taken on a wet day on the docks though - not the best location I would have thought.

The second one above I'd seen before and I love it because when I first saw it I still had my 33 and to me, in that pic, the R33 looks the best as it seems to be riding the lowest and has all the series 3 stuff on it (and it's black :P)

The last pic is just... :woot: Haha

i thought photographers purposely made things wet as it made stuff shinier and cleaner, i know films often have the roads sprayed with water for those reasons. Your right though, the dock location is a little meh.

also true re the, does look pretty boss in that pic.

as rare as that is :P

The pic with the 4 gtrs displays a great comparison and to me the r32 rear end looks very bubbly and aggressive and the r34 looks quite sharp and square...the r35 is a mammoth beast and I luv it.

yeah it always blows my mind when i see how big the 35 is relative to the 34 etc..its like they come from a planet where everything including the drivers are bigger.

also typo in my last post which i cant edit, meant to agree with you about the lowered 33 looking bawwss like. Somehow didnt type 33. WTF me?!

anyway found a few more comparos. love this stuff!

This is cool. At what point did the Japanese think, "Oh! Actually we could just move the side mirrors to the doors!" Great pic though.

There is some off-topic reason why you chose this photo isn't there Pat?

190515_215949085085854_100000122923411_1046157_4945668_n.jpg

Yeah that black R34 looks MEGA.
