I rode in a skyline GTR r32 today
 
well today I driving at the local auto X today. my friend called me and said that a GTR just pulled in the parking lot. I love the skyline they are bad as poo. so I went over and sure enough there it was. So I asked him if he wanted to go for a pass in my car and he did all he could say was that it had a lot of tourqe. so I asked if he would take me for a ride and he said that he would. and I got in the passenger that is normally the driver side and went through the parking lot. he never flored it but it was just cool becouse you never get to see those. I am racing it on friday when i have a full bottle hehehe I will record it and put it on the board.

Skylines are pretty sweet. I was thinking about putting an R34 motor in my 240z, but decided to sell it. I've seen it done, the car would run in the 10's if it will hook up.

I've seen a couple r34's running around up in Irvine, and there is a company that imports them. They are on my list of cars to buy, maybe bring one up from Australia.

Don't import a 'line from australia, you;d pay taxes twice, coz 'lines are imports in AU

Why would i fear your stove lights, I would never see them.

funkymonkey 10-14-2002 09:31 AM

*sigh*... never mind, its a joke... some people jus don't get sarcasm.

BTW my car only makes 30kW more than yours :D that's 328HP. Not much done to it though.

funkymonkey 10-14-2002 09:50 AM

my mistake... that's 23kW more not 30... my maths is fubar

Ackbar00 10-14-2002 11:42 AM

Kw? Is that like a electric formula? And I get sarcasm just fine.

funkymonkey 10-14-2002 12:20 PM

kW is a measure of power, its like HP... 1kW = 1.34HP

Hey welcome funkymonkey. Nice to have a Skyline owner on the board :D

funkymonkey 10-15-2002 02:37 AM

thanx, as much as luv the 'lines, i luv the raw power n looks of stangs, hence my presence here, not really lookin at gettin one but I figured i might as well get to know more about a childhood dream car. (BTW stangs are hard to come by in Australia, and I think Ford's started to import em now, but they're hella expensive... even more than GTRs lol)

funkymonkey 10-15-2002 03:16 AM

you get the ford n gm (or holden as we call em) cars on the drags, but they're all old gemini's that make 355HP n stuff. Not much in the muscle department as far as those two brands go in Australia in the past... mostly sedans, recently they've madde it better introducing the new model HSV Monaro (342HP Stock), Falcon XR8 Sprint (Trickford version), GT Falcons, Twin Supercharged V8 XF Falcon Ute (Pickup or whatever you guys call it). Then there's the VL Commodores (or commonwhores as us skyline drivers call em :D) with the skyline RB engines, there's quite a few runnign around with GTR engines making them Straight 6 Twin Turbo cars that will rip u a new anus.

They're so common that they don't really get much notice until they take off, and theyre very easily confused with their family car lookalikes.

Mustangs, corvettes etc on the other hand, they're very noticable down here, you'd stand out like a sore thumb.

BTW I hate rice as well how do I join this club... it sucks that they're using a skyline in FNF2, now all the riceboys are gonna wanna make their honda's look like skylines... *sigh*

funkymonkey I always wanted to bring my '91 GT down to Melbourne to raise hell and test it on your country back roads. I use to work for a company called PrintSoft, based out of Moorabin (on the out skirts of Melbourne). Been there twice; you live in a kick a*$$ city. Have a pint of VB for me and F*** Fosters beer!

funkymonkey 10-15-2002 08:46 AM

hehe i go out to morabbin sometimes for work, coz canon aus (where I work) has a branch there. personally I hate beer, but I'll have a shot of something in my liquor cabinet in ya name :D

Nothing beats the salt lakes for runs and both AU and US have plenty of them.

yes I totally agree **** fosters lol

I actually had a lead on a complete, but totaled r34 out of Long Beach through a friend of mine. Someone beat me to the car though.

I am still drawing plans to drop the RB26DETT motor into a 260z. That way it would still be 'just another 2.6 I6. ;) I hope funkymonkey to be a resource on that car. It just isn't feasable with the one car garage I have now.

NotchJohnson 10-15-2002 08:03 PM

801, Definitely get that race on video. Ive never even seen a Skyline besides in pics. I would love to se this race and I hope you smoke him! (No offense funky, I know Skylines are Badazz but stangers gotta stick together bro)

funkymonkey 10-16-2002 05:58 AM

none taken, luv my 'line, luv stangs too, probably would go for a 'line over a stang, but hey if u're gonna drag him, hope u win, coz it means it'll go back n mod it more n come back at ya next time. If he beats u... well start modding your stang hehe :D
