Hello, I may be about to buy my first skyline finally. I intend to drift/race it. But I'm unsure as to if I want a dedicated racecar that can't be put into the road (cut chassis, transport by trailer etc), or a car that I can track and put it into the road if I wanted too down the line.

What would you do or have done? Personal opinions are wanted!

Do you want to drive the car on the street at all? do you have access to another car/daily? How often do you see yourself visiting the track? do you need this car to be unregistered? Do you need a weld in cage? etc etc

Think about what you want from the car

That's what I was after. Decided I don't want a track dedicated car, it's only limited to one thing. Just in case I want to put it back on the road or simply to take it to the track. Cheers maaaaate

i'd bash dream boats just to make a name for myself.

You know if you want a track car. it's a firm decision. Until then, you want a street car.

Honestly, a dedicated track car is so far removed from a "track" capable road car.

My silvia has stuff done to it that's not even remotely legal is is heaps of fun on the track. Big front diffuser, big wing, flames, full fixed seating mount etc.

I'm also buying a wekender though so when budget permits I say you need both.

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
