i don't suppose you know the episode that was in?

anyway mine...

"skylines are so passe"

yes, i've also had the "skylines suck"

"skylines don't have any torque" to which i replied "do you even know what torque is?" ... "it's it's it's it's er it's um"

mmm that brakes exploding thing is doing my head in... i dont understand that at all =

Agreed that a lot of people have skylines, but its for a reason - they are decent cars - 5 billion p platers cant be wrong.

the torque thing i agree with when it comes to the RB20... i cant stand the torque curve of the Rb20 motor, but they are quite robust and cheap to replace....

jeremy clarkson says a lot of weird things on his show that the audience is supposed to just accept.

what do u mean about torque curve? i got 627Nm of torque :)

To be honest the only reason I bought a Skyline is the potential + it is a new style interioir car.

After owning the VS 5ltr 5speed I looked at buying a VLT.

I couldn't bring my self to step back in to the old style interior.

I checked out the R32 skyline. It was good on fuel went ok for a stocker, motor, diff & gearbox are strong (unlike the VS when it came to the diff & gearbox) and had plenty of potential.

Steady mate. I was agreeing with you, but you would probably consider me an "old fart". We aren't all tarred with the same brush you know.

Nah your not old mate id consider over 60 to be the age where you would start going stupid

that was my intended OLD FART AGE BRACKET

you still have 15 years to go, but as your a fellow skyline driver the time will fly very fast (but only on the track) :thumbsup:

The guy on top gear saying that R32 GTRs brakes sometimes explode!

I don't remember that, he does exagerate a lot though, it's part comedy remember, see the review on the monaro, and when he turned the traction control off the car would yell out "You bloody poofta"

*Things idiots say about skylines*: "Anything from the mass media"

hahaha i loved that. i had people from other countries on car video forums pming me with "What does "Puffter" mean?"

anyway back on topic :thumbsup:

PUBLIC ENEMY #1?

It certainly looks like this is where the Skyline is heading in NSW, thanks to a minority of idiots that like driving at 4 times the speed limit etc, etc.

The Skyline is just one of a couple of makes being targeted by our poleticians to be banned from being driven by under 25 driver's and particularly "P" licence holders.

Anybody got any suggestions on how to combat this problem?

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
