i had a 8ft newport whaler for a while with a brand new (at the time) 15hp yammie on it - the thing cranked! i have pictures of me in that boat completely vertical with the prop about 9ft from the water!! :rolleyes: :headbang:

Ok, we've got a bit of a late comer here ;)

My name is Jim (if you couldn't tell from the nick), age 31, and I live in West Ryde and work in IT desktop/network support. Been into cars for well over 15 years now, had a bunch of Toranas and Commodores (6's and 8's only) plus one XY V8 Falcon, but have been musing over Skylines (and Sierras) ever since I was watching them race at Bathurst in the early 90's. For some reason I thought I'd never be able to afford one, and so I never paid them too much attention other than drooling over them whenever I saw one.

Then sometime last year I heard about GTS-t's which were about half the price of GTR's but more than half the car, so I researched them more and started seriously thinking of getting one. It took me until June/July this year to get everything sorted out - sold the Commodore (for less than I wanted), found the right Skyline a short time later (for a better price than I thought, so it balances out!), and now have it sitting in my garage. I absolutely love it! Unless I won the lottery or doubled my salary I wouldn't dream of selling it, and if I did, it would be for a GTR :D But the GTS-t makes me very happy and I don't "want" for any other car.

What else? Oh yeah, I also like motorcycles. I ride a Suzuki TL1000R (V-twin super sports bike if you're not familiar with it) which I love as much as the Skyline, if I had to get rid of one I wouldn't know which to choose! I'd sell my house before either of those, if I owned a house to sell :D

Jim,

I know what you mean - I'm 35 and have 15 cars since I got my license. Some of these include VT SS Commonwhore (modded), 200SX S14, RX7 S4, Swift GTI, VN 5.0L efi, VH SLE V8, Prelude, etc etc.

The Skyline is by far, the best, most fun, unreal, car I have ever had. As you said, I would only change it for a GTR.

Bring on the Lines - I'm hooked !!!!!!

    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
    • Brand was ard.   I also threw a brand new battery at it and beefed up the wire from the alternator to battery and added an extra earthing point from the battery 
    • Evening all,       I'm replacing some bolts on my RB25 with probolt Australia bolts.       Does anyone know the following, m5 m6 etc 10mm 20mm etc       Coil cover   Cam covers   Plazamaman fuel rail   Front cover (timing cover)   Etc   Any help would be awesome   Or any lists anywhere

    • $350 for a skid pan is a joke, cost of living is definitely more in NSW 😂
