FTO AUSTRALIA

Nah I'm a hater simply because I am against anything that is mainstream. You talk to so many people and they are all like, oh man I'm gonna get me a skyline rar rar rar. I can't leave my house without seeing a skyline! There are like 2 just in my street alone.

I think the main thing that really annoys me is the amount of people who don't know anything about cars, own a skyline because "if it was in the fast and the furious, it must be cool", but it's a totally stock base model, with an extremely irritating cannon. So yea, I know there are genuine skyline drivers out there, but round here there are just too many tryhards.

Dammit, I hijacked the already off-topic thread. I'm sorry lol

All good mate, you put it onto page 9, lets go for one more!!!

Off topic, what is the record for one of these "chasing tail" threads? Is it 10 pages? Should we attempt to break the record?

My bad, I started that, although I just said they don't do anything for me.

IMO they are just so big, which when it comes to cars, isn't such a good thing. They were fantastic back in the day, but they suffer from the same thing that makes me cringe at a GTO as well. Size.

Also, IMO, they have great front guards (pumped, and look phat), but that is as far as the curves go. Seriously, the 350Z is the car to have for me, if I could afford one I would buy it in an instant!

Nissan make fantastic cars, and anyone disagreeing seriously have their heads in the sand.

I also stand by my first statement, your BF sounds like a complete ass hat. I agree to never let heavy footed mates drive your car, but your GF? Come on, girls are far less likely to gun a car driving it for the first time than a guy. Idiot should let you practise and actually learn, same elitist attitudes as people dissing cars when they don't know anything about them!

i was driving an R33 GTS-T earlier tonight and it was very nice

From the late 80's there are only 3 Nissans I would ever bother with, the R30 GT (with the FJ20ET), the R31 GTS-X and the R32 GT-R. They are all where the marquee started, and some day I want all of those in my garage!

There is a certain refinement in most Nissan cars from the mid 90's, and I agree, the R33 GTS-T is a damn good piece of kit straight from the factory. My old man has a '97 Stagea RS4, nowhere near as quick as my car, but hot damn does it handle. Point to point, it would actually be quicker than my car by far (not as fun though).

And you gotta say something about aftermarket support for the Sky.line marquee. Damn easy to modify with off the shelf quality parts if you are that way inclined.

By the way, I would kill for one of these:





~1974 Datsun 160J Violet!

Never ever think of me as a Nissan hater!

great post man!

so what are your views on toyota?

honda ... the power of dreams

Just kidding, I love Toyotas, honestly, I love most Japanese makes (the least of which is Honda, but I really do appreciate the engineering).

When I thought my gearbox had shat itself I was about to buy a rebuilt GT4 Celica (the '90's ones, facelift with pumped guards, think it was a GT4 RC, can't remember now).

I won't drag this already off track thread out any longer by giving more of my biased opinions, but I my first car was one of these with the venerable 18R-GEU. Was a very fun car Ugly as f**k though



One thing I will add though, Toyotas have fantastic reliability, well, except those POS MR2's... oops, did I say that?





Kidding mate

I totally agree what you said about the views on sky.line's and people not knowing sh*t about cars.

Although I must say your comment about hating Nissan simply because it's Nissan is completely idiotic. You actually contradict yourself by saying people stereotype. You did the exact same thing with your comment

A real enthusiast doesn't hate cars based on the badge

you're actually kinda right about the MR2s anything with a turbo can't really be classed as "reliable"
my mate has had his non-turbo for 10 years though and nothing has ever gone wrong except for a dead battery!

Dunno if it makes any difference, but when I typed Nissan, I was actually referring to and thinking specifically of the Skyline lol. I should have clarified that.

OMG we have some real haters on this thread...

Dan22 & FTevolution: if you guys want to take over
then its fine with me, just dont diss others choice
of cars just because ure fixated with your own idea of
what others should or should not like...

p.s. no im not angry just telling the truth

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, and I'm just voicing mine They can like what they want to like, I'm not telling them not too, just giving them sh*t for it instead

exactly, this IS a public forum at the end of the day

yeh those 300zx's sure are ugly as hell, i think what really eff's it is those headlights and tail lights, what were they thinking!

^^^^ valid point... But its a forum, your going to get peoples opinions (good and bad) wether you asked or not.

One thing to learn is that is is THEIR opinion, they don't drive your car so why should ''I'' care. Like how many of us hate chromies, yet AJ, ALEKEZAM, SIMON and ''ye who not be named'' roll on chromies. It shouldn't matter what people say coz theres always another dick around the corner ready to trash talk your ride.
