When's The Next Canberra Gathering?

[sl33py]

sky: I've seen lots of R32's, kits, no kits, etc. I've been eyeing off (R32-R34) Skylines for about 2 years now. It's an opinion remember... just like urs.

[Frink]

I don't like the look of the R32s

HAHAHA! spot on! another one joins the whale watching club!

[Amaru]

BTW, this is gonna sound weird, but: the 3 skylines I've test driven now, they all seemed to have huge backward and forward body roll on take offs. I drive a civic which (to me) feels like it's on rails (ignoring the understeer), but these skylines felt rather doughy and uninvolved by comparison simply cos of the roll.  Is this just because A) I'm not pushing the test cars cos I don't wanna get my ass kicked) and B) I'm just used to a small buzz box now that doesn't have enough power to even break traction from a standing start or push me into my seat?

Sounds like they have standard suspension in them, which is probably worn. They handle like boat anchors with standard suspension...

what how can you not like something like this

[Sinista32]

Thats crazy,

You obviosly havent seen very many 32's then.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

looking at your avatar Andrew u need some clear indicators - infact all 32's should have them. Damn orange !

[Frink]

nah, its not the suspension, its because it has so much power, that it just throws you back and the car is wheel standing!!!! (yeah right....i wish!)

yeah, the standard suspension is a little on the saggy side. you can buy my suspension off me if you want? (its not stock...). i've just bought some coilovers..... hehe

32's be tha bomb, there the shizzle to my wizzle. ok maybe not, but there dam sexy! but everyone has there own opinions...

[Gus-]

i like em all, classic's included. BUT nothing has more presence than a big mofo R33 GTR with massive rims and a set of cams .

[SKYLVIA]

maybe one thing has more presence - z-tune....

[Gus-]

any 34 GTR will have more presence than a 33GTR, but thats the way it is

i am with you well sorta its not that i dont like them but i prefer the 33 i could have got a 32 gtr but they just dont appeal to me as much as a 33... though i am getting a bit of a 34 bug at the moment i really want one pity their is 0% chance of that happening

[MIVEC]

what how can you not like something like this

Haha Scotty, when am I going to get another ride!?

[Stevie]

Yeah sounds like your on the money with what your looking for!

Dont listen to half these 32 drivers on here! There still stuck with there 2lt commodore engines at the end of the day. (not you GTR boys!)

I'm not sure what your talking about with the "roll" on take off but my advice would be too sit in the passenger seat of mine and i'll give you a demo takeoff from about 6000rpm.

If you have any questions about SII R33's then i'll be happy to fumble out an answer.

[SKYLVIA]

theres nothing wrong with 32'! lighter than 33's and looks sportier etc... ask veilside, he'll tell you that 32's are better (i hope!) and he used to own a 33. but if your happy with a 33 then thats kool too, do what you want not what other want you to do

I'll try to get to the next friday night meet, and take you up on that offer!

I think I've made a subconscious (sp?) decision to upgrade the suspension on the skyline I get (if needed) before doing any stereo work. And that's saying something considering I spent 1600 on the sound in my titchy little civic hahahahaha

[Gus-]

wont that mean there'll be 1600 worth of sound to go into tha skyline??

[SKYLVIA]

unless your selling the civic with the sound system in it? thats if your gonna sell your civic once u get your 33?

[race_snooze]

ok now i just read this thread it turned into a 32 vs 33 slander feast.

So Stirlo like steve said come sit in the passanger seat of my 33 see how quick you go white like me.

As for weight diff mines 1260kg so whats a 32 hmmm

[Veilside R33]

nice to see we r all staying on topic.

just quickly, yes i prefer 32's but that said, i still loved my 33 (much roomier and very sexy)

anyway back on topic lads, there have been a million which is better threads and its purely personal preference, but so you all know....they are all better than peice of sh*t diahatsu's!

[race_snooze]

There's a white Skyline down the street from me but I don't know them.. it's a Northside suburb with a lot of old folks homes. If u read this and it's u, maybe I could walk down the street and check it out?

^^^ copyed from first post

If its a white one with no rear spoiler (stealth one) 18s (volks) fmic that would be me come up any time during the week only late in the arvo but.
