Skyline downsides
- Thread starter [PIMPIN]
- Start date
really?....cool....i thought the insurance company labels skyline as sportscar/high performance car which has additional premium charges....if not then it's good lar...:D
Since almost all of skylines are older than 10 years....the recent insurance changes mean we no longer have to pay for loading of old cars I think

which is still irritating as hell, especially with heavy traffic. where do you expect to "play" even if the evos or subarus layan you? drive on top of divider? :stupid:not all proton and perodua user likes tailgate skyline, at least me not like it, i drive my wira with e4 engines, evos and subaru still i dare to challenge, but i feel it twice, the moment i saw the R35 at my rear, i already feel lose and give way dy, really adore the monster

i think the skyline badge creates a visual impact to lot of road users...must be those round lights...people are hipnotized by just staring at it...

ive sat in a gti...nothing to shout about, but i beleive the effect would have been different if the gti
was your first fast road car .
Downside? Tire wear is crazy, and tires are freaking expensive! 275/35/18 all round... really kautim.

Hahahah 4 lanes? What do you drive? Aircraft carrier or something?damn... i need at least 3.5 lanes to make a u-turn, 4 lanes is the best. anything lesser, 3 or 4 point turn...
So true. I don't know why some reckon they could outrun Ferrari's (based on some owners I've met - one wanted to race me while I had my 2.8 even). I test drove the Mk5 in the rain - my car dealer wouldn't even come along. He sat at DeCanter and had a drink while I went off alone. Perhaps of all the other test drives he's had to endure LOL. Don't know why since it was impossible to get into any trouble unless you hit standing water but in stock form its quite docile.
But the Mk6 is definitely an upgrade IMHO. I wouldn't mind owning one for daily commuting or going down to the shops but I certainly wouldn't bother with mods.
Hahah of all the expensive mods you've got the one thing you choose to complain about are tires? Speaking of which, time to replace mine too - closing in on 20k kms soon.
Especially if you have to go through the back seat, remove that heavy piece of metal to get to the battery. If only I had a midget friend...

Erm..... maybe I'm still driving my GTR not hardcore enough. From the day I bought it until now, i drive it gently, shift gear slowly, seldom full throttle in order to prevent any problem occur since my turbo and engine still stock item.

Erm, GTI is my first fast DSG car whereas GTR is my 1st fast manual car, maybe the shifting time makes me think that GTI is more responsive. Anyway, if cruising on highway, GTI lose gao gao, GTR is always the fastest machine!

Stock turbo, stock engine with stock boost etc is quite hard to break. Especially if you floor it once in awhile. The car was made to be driven hard - the GTR has been and still is Nissan's flagship performance car. Just make sure you don't neglect the maintenance and you should be fine.NeniNeniBoBo said:Erm..... maybe I'm still driving my GTR not hardcore enough.

If the GTR is your first manual car then you'd definitely notice the speed of the DSG gearbox. But all things being equal, if both were stock the GTR would win hands down regardless of whether from standstill, rolling start and especially top end.NeniNeniBoBo said:
Take the time to get used to the GTR, having one FWD and one predominantly RWD car means having to change the way you drive each time you switch between the two. I guess after sometime you will develop a preference for one over the other.

haha... no la... driving an evo. i'm counting the lanes including from my side and the opposite side. i have to cut to the left lane before making the u-turn (3.5 lanes) to end up on the left lane (opposite side). anything lesser, i'll have to reverse. steering reaches full lock a little after 1 circle on 17 inch rims.[PIMPIN];1063547398 said:

Ah, which version? Always had a soft spot for the Evo 6. Actually, I've never even given much thought about turning circles. Although, if RWD car like S15 or something would be easier to u-turn especially for former drifters like Temujin
dude dont be afraid to take it to the limit.skylines are meant to be driven stop worrying and WOT all the wayErm..... maybe I'm still driving my GTR not hardcore enough.

Regarding gti owners outrunning R's i guess its a euro vs jap mentality,a lot of them who i met often ask me wy i didnt get a gti.My answer is simple, once u go jap theres no turning back
I guess that's because I've stop modding the car for like 5 years. LOL. So the only thing that keeps going now are the tires and regular services.[PIMPIN];1063547398 said:
