Buying a Skyline

Rob Gaskin said:
With the greatest respect and I don't know your background so you may have already done this I'd suggest spending your 15k on a track-day car and having fun with that. Running a wild Skyline on the road is going to be so frustrating and every time you do something that excites you it'll be illegal, dangerous and anti-social. The guys with quick cars on here mainly get their kicks from track-time or Santa Pod.

I know it sounds like I'm a kill-joy but to me it makes so much more sense and you'll get huge respect from your mates.

Komie - That's also great advice from a man with the 610+ BHP GTR space ship I was telling you about!! :thumbs:

Rob, the Komster needs all that power to get any performance out of any car he drives - he weighs over 100kgs and rising!!! :eek:


Komster, Re. the track day car Rob shared, I'm not sure your HUGE shoulders will ever get into those bucket seats ;)

That 'drift' car was not a recommendation but just for inspiration re track driving.

Newish GTR - I'd love a GTR instead of my 370Z. I need a car with more than 2 seats, however I'm sure running costs would be prohibitive and they are a bit big! Also I don't need that much power, shame they don't do a 250bhp one for old men like me who love the body shape.

You would be surprised.... the general running costs are not that bad, its the modifying costs!!

Was only pulling your leg Rob - great inspiration!!

You could always swap out the GTR engine for a four pot version of the L series ;) kind of a reverse hybrid !!!

Rob, you inspired me to look further and brought my bad blood to the fore - if only I had a bigger garage and didn't need to save for children's education .....

Thats quite expensive for an old supra.... have a look at MKIVSUPRA.net if you havent, they have some great cars up for sale there. I am pretty sure you could get a single turbo one for that sort of money.... :D
 
I want!!! I SOOO need a quad car garage!!! So I can add an NSX to the collection!


How on earth are Supras over 20 years old!? It was only yesterday you could get one new.

These will be iconic classics one day ... Soon!

They already are. A straight UK car is 15k..... And only going up.

If I had 30k, I'd have one of these and a z3m coupe.:)
