there was a cop patrolling the parking lot as i was getting into my car after work, he drives over and asks me "i heard those are illegal because they have too much horsepower, i saw something on tv about that." Sorry officer, im guilty..arrest me. And then he drove to the end of the road and parked to put the radar on me as i drove away from work. sorry no 700 hp officer

ppl seem to see our cars as some sort of threat to thier manhood or something... but I love it when I drive past a really nice clean Integra and give them the thumbs-up and they smile... that pretty cool Not all ppl are jackasses... but there still are too many out there

Of course they do.... Skylines are, after all, THE japanese supercar. We'll always have some fool calling us down for making the decision to buy one of these cars. I've been told about a billion times that I got ripped off, but, to quote the Hagakure:

"It is bad when one thing becomes two. One should not look for anything else in the Way of the Samurai. It is the same for anything that is called a Way. Therefore, it is inconsistent to hear something of the Way of Confucius or the Way of the Buddha, and say that this is the Way of the Samurai. If one understands things in this manner, he should be able to hear about all Ways and be more and more in accord with his own"

A little vague in our situation, and obviously we're not Samurai, but if you bought the car because you loved it and always wanted one, it will become unnecessary to feel frustration with people over bashing our cars, be it due to incorrect facts, jealousy, or stupidity. We own these cars, and it IS a way of life for most of us. We live for Skylines. I have no problem going out with my buddies in their cars and leaving mine at home. They always say to me :"Bet you wish we'd brought your car..." to which I always reply that there's nothing wrong with the car they drive. Just because I have a Skyline doesn't really mean anything other than I wanted one. Don't worry about the haters, they'll never go away, and they'll never shut up. Someone's sig on here reads: "Don't argue with stupid people, they'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience"

A very wise statement, indeed.

Damn the haters!!!!!

Some guy: what imported did you use

Me: I imported myself

how much did you pay?

less than through an importer thats all im saying

so what, like 6000 at the most?????????(Yeah buddy a good condition landed GTR fro 6G, OK!)

and the ever popular, "Is that legal to drive your car from the right side?", don't know how many times i've been asked that but after the 10th time it starts to get on my nerves

Setting off the car allarm is not a childish thing to do, hes right kid these day have little respect for other ppl stuff....I had the guy living across form me call me at like 2:00 am and say there were kids hanging around my car(on my yard). That in it self may not sound that bud but seen how i live in a sorta remote area u have real think as to what the f*ck they were doing. Any ways the ran a way at the sound of my phone ringing, i was think tho if they didn't i might have sneaked out there with my Bokken, not to hurt them but just to scare them

As for ppl been silly ppl there been a few ppl say "Yea i hear u can hock that car up too a laptop and get like XXXhp". As to where that came form its off the discover CH they had a show called world greatest car and there was one on sports car and the skyline was on there. any ways where was some uninformed ppl on there, and one owner that they talked to had a stand alone in hiscar, any ways uniformed ppl+ bad editing= big time inaccuracies.

I can't agree more to all you guys said. I don't have my radio yet, but I keep windows up and use climate control most of the time in order to stay away from all the retards I get in my area (and god knows that since most frenchies don't speak english and don,t give a f*ck about the rest of the world (which makes them uninformed), I get some REALLY reatrded **** here...

As for that TV show, I have it on my computer (recorded it a while back on Discovery), if anyone's intrsted lol !!! It not much of seed of intelligence, but its still funny ( Narrator "... it's been described as a playstation on wheels" or " Narrator : The true reason behind the success of this car, is that it can be "hacked into", or ""tuned"" ... WTF!? see what you,re teaching to people ?) Really is funny. Gotta see it once in your life !

P.S. I speak french too... and english... and spanish.... and german... and I read latin, so I was just criticising the reclosure of some of the quebecers still living in the woods. Sorry for bitching btw, had a bad day.

You have no idea how hilarious that is to me! When people ask my uncle how to say hi in french, he'll say "MANGE LA MERDE!".

[wakmen]

hehe that should be priceless...like in the mr. bean movie when the biker raise the middle finger and he thinks its a salute ...hehe

[Dread Specter]

Vive le quebec lol !

No but seriously, I really find some people in our nice little province should come out of the woods and start to get some education... speaking french doesn't mean not speaking to anyone else in the rest of the world that doesn't. I get such comments some times... i mean damn, some stupid kid told me a was a f*cking di*k and an ignorant because I should have bought my Skyline in saskatchewan, because that's where they come from and because they're much cheaper from there than form japan.... and btw, his friend (the kid was like 14/15 y.o.) has a R33 gt-r, FROM SASKATCHEWAN... I mean damn, didn't your parents taught you NOT to bogther the grownups and not to lie.... It's so sad... And he really was insulting me, I mean, it's pathetic not to know thats Saskatchewan IS part of canada and does the same sh*t as the rest of it....

Anyways, I love quebec, I just don't like the uneducated people who think they know everything...and we seem to have them all. So don't despair skyline brothers, I get a ton of them too and I know too well what you guys feel when an idiot tries to "get in your face"...

Ciao ya'll


And lol@ the guy's granpa, thats a good one !!!

back in 2000 when i got a bomex strawberry kit on my 180sx (2nd or 3rd in the country from memory, so pretty rare at the time)... was at Sydney Autosalon showing the car (was into show cars then, don't ask) and I made a bet with one of my mates that I could convince people that I owned a real 200sx. 83 people believed me when I said it was a real limited edition S15 200sx hatchback model.


Cop pulled me over once for a random check in my N/A daily driver R32 GTS...
cop: pop the hood please
*flashes torch into engine bay*
cop: not bad, that's some pretty good plumbing off the turbo to hide your BOV and intercooler
me: *sigh*
spent the next 15 minutes explaining to him the intricacies of a turbo and a naturally aspirated skyline.


At a dyno day for Skylines Australia I decided to put my GTS on, just so I could get lowest power reading of the day...
*roll car onto dyno* *dyno operator straps car down and pops the hood*
him: omg you're turbo's missing!
me: oh ****... I swear it was bolted on in the morning... maybe I blew off too hard and it fell off?
all the guys there got a good chuckle out of that


guy rolls up next to me in a Ford BA Falcon Turbo while I was driving my dad's ceffy... starts revving at the lights, so I take off with some gusto and maintain a car length lead on him till I decided to back off... when we pull up at the next set of lights he winds down his window...
him: is that a maxima?
me: yeah sorta
him: is it a turbo?
me: yeah, its a 4 door, 6 cylinder turbo RWD car... just like yours
*pause as he looks at the car*
me: its 15 years older than your car though, and cost 1/4th of what yours does
*pause as he keeps lookin at the car*
me: and oh yeah, its an auto... coz its my 57 year old dad's car.
I swear his jaw dropped as the lights changed and I drove off.

last one is the best heheheheheheh

Man do i miss my homeland but i sure as hell dont miss the aussie pigs and the car scene.

Before i moved i remember a mate getting a ticket for metal foot pedals in his terrana

[Shaw]

My first drive in my newly landed GTR...covered in salt (winter delivery), auction erasible pen marks on the winshield, one dead headlight, and no plates. I drove 2 blocks to the local coin-op car wash.

cav owner: Yo, is that a Skyline?
JZ: ummm....(nervous cuz I shouldn't be on the road with it). No.
cav owner: well what is it then?
JZ: Its an accord with a GTR Battle kit.
*pause*
cav owner: Sick man, you should show that whip this summer!
JZ: Thanks!

Hahah that make my day
