Beat me to it Prokie, was going to say the R33 has got to take it every time! Looks lovely!

New one just looks crap compared, although the performance figures indicate it's a fookin animal!

R35s arnt even Skylines, they are GTRs, but they are not Skylines.

And they massive, but in the flesh are fantastic looking cars, best looking one as STANDARD.

R32GTRs are my fave, but look pony 100% stock (esp stock ride height), like most cars.

So R31s and R30s wasnt turbo then?

They arent the mega tunable RB26 ones that people think of when you say skyline, they had the smaller RB20 motor (although this of course CAN still be tuned a fair way)

Surely you know that?

Or were you just trying to pick fault in what I was saying for the sake of it rather than you actually asking a genuine question you wanted an answer for?

We have a lot of these in Hong Kong and they all look much better in the flesh.......

But the R32 still looks the most purposeful, the only thing I don't like about them is that they were the only cars that could beat the RS500's on the track here in Asia

I like the Bayside Blue on the R34, so I had my Escort Cossie resprayed in the same colour (there are no Imperial Blue Fords here to match, otherwise would have gone for a Ford colour)

Err no, what you said makes out like they wasnt turbo, and wasnt mega tuneable, which they were.

Dont give me the "surely you know that" as you know what I know and it will no doubt get all "GrpN Pulsar" again

No you misread it, I said it wasnt THE mega tunable turbo motor.

You read it as
it wasnt A mega tunable turbo motor.


By THE engine, I meant the RB26 that is what most people instantly think of when they think skyline.

hope that clears it up for you, I will try and make my posts more idiot proof in the future

Dont get defensive and condesending, again...

Considering I probably know more about Skylines than anyone else on this forum and I thought you meant different to what you did, god help everyone else...

And then you say you mean the RB26 and thats why the R31s and R30s wasnt mentioned, but last time I checked the R35 didnt have a 26 in it either...

Cor its like pulling teeth.

To most people, the "skyline evolution" that maria mentioned started with the RB26 (depsite the fact that you and I and many others know different), I wasnt saying it also ended there.

FFS I was just trying to explain to the guy why there wasnt a R31 there or any other skyline that actually started right back as far as the 50s or something didnt it?

Looks stunning in those pics. Seans one looked EXACTLY like that one and was lovely to drive.

I just can't get on with the R32 looks when I see one on the road though... to be it looks dated and a bit chav now... I know I will get murdered for saying that
