I don't get your post mate. So you want a Skyline that combines all 3 into one? Kinda a bit similar to my thread...so which is your favourite Skyline?

Those 3 are all of the same genre Kevin > N1

Items of rarity > so one of them already has the prospect of making "appearance money" at a car show on the 29th April.

This "Just Dreamin'" thread is about something that stirs the heart - the passion.

My next "Just Dreamin" post is a puzzle...

I would love another Pic of the following collection...

1960 Ferrari 250GT Bertone

1966 Ford Mustang

1966 Maserati Ghibli

1966 De Tomaso Mangusta

1972 Lotus Esprit

1974 Alfetta GT/GTV

1975 Ducati 860GT

1980 Nikon F3 > F4 > F5 > F6 > D3

1981 De Lorean DMC-12

1986 Seiko Speedmaster

1995 Lamborghini Cala

1999 Bugatti EB218

2002 Maserati Spyder

2002 Alfa Romeo Brera

Ah yes Chris, now we're in the swing of things :)

A former Dream Pic of mine in October '08 was this...

1) ADM R32 GT-R owned by "gtr_fan"

2) R33 GT-R owned by God_speed

3) R34 GT-R owned by yours truly

4) R35 GT-R (Haltech > Envy Imports)

P1030767.jpg

And the answer to Post #4 above is that genius designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro.

God_speed pointed him out to me a couple of years ago since I once owned that sweet looking '79 Alfetta GTV.

I feel you Terry. I have nothing special, just a normal R33 GTR, but love my Skyline heaps. Wish I had something more rare though. I have tried to do all I can to make it look unique. Guess there's only so much that works on a Skyline so everyone does it. >_<

My friend, there is one thread of commonality that we all acquire quickly here on SAU. And that's the value of the dollar!

Then there's that positive spin-off; and it's called, bang for your buck!

But then, which of the above is the chicken - and which one is the egg?

I too, am not in the same league as Messrs Leno, Fox, Laws or Ashwood to be able to acquire collections.

Any of them can look at a collection of those N1s above and ask each owner, "How much do you want for it?"

And once more, look how old they are (acquiring financial wealth).

According to this thread, I only wish to acquire my next "Dream Pic" :thumbsup:

...so check my next Post!

That's passion for you. Most would only dream of owning a R34 GTR. I think as far as dreams go, you've gone a small part of it completed already. Very powerful words.

No order, just want a set

Favourite - Hands down, 400R, in White :)

Although most on my list after it would kick its arse performance wise, there is just something about the 400R.

It was NISMO's first hypo production type offering,

It was a stroked factory car

It was at a time when everything else out of Japan - production - was part of the 206kw agreements.

The one car i would take over anything else - my Unicorn!!

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
