built skyline

[nando]

I know two guys with GT-Rs and know of/have seen twice that many others in my little city on tyhe east coast. I think you need to get out more. ;)

they're all over canada, but not so much the states. Part of why they're so boring to me is I've seen a million of them, usually non GT-Rs with some sideways-hat wearing douchebag driving it like an ass. and a RHD car on LHD roads is not safe at all..

Ever tried it? I have no problems with my touring.

[nando]

yeah, no thanks. There's plenty of LHD E30s. ;)

[Roysneon]

Not saying it's ideal, but it's far from completely unsafe. Lots of people think that driving a car more than 10 years old is unsafe, but the newest e30s are quite a bit older than that. Just have to know what you're doing.

Come to Oz or NZ as Skylines are fucking everywhere (and normally driven by dick-tuggers)

[nando]

I think for the most part the type of people attracted to skylines are the same the world over.

that is, if dick-tugger = Australian for "sideways hat wearing douchebag".

[dirtysix]

Wreckers yards are littered with buggered GT's and GTS-T's.

Dick-tugger =

• a compulsive masturbater
• a lover of the self-administered hand shandy
• one who enjoys the taste of animal sperm on their upper lip
• a throrough pounder of one's own sausage

That solstice is the first one Ive ever seen and liked.

[RainierHooker]

I too am strangely enticed y the Solstice...


...as much as that pains me to say

[straight6pwr]

you gotta be fucking kidding me they make 'one lug' adapters. worse piece of 'fuh raze' i have ever seen.

Quite handy if you end up switching wheels a lot on a track/drift car. Ricey as hell for anything else. Also makes brake jobs more work.

[RainierHooker]

Yeah, those do seem rather silly. Putting real Centerlock/Drive-pin mounts on your car isn't exactly difficult (at least on an e30). I'm not sure why you'd want to though. Carrying an impact wrench and a four-foot torque-wrench around for wheel changes seems like it would be a hassle anywhere but on the track. Those "One Lug" wheels are just fugly too.

[Adrian_Visser]

a RHD car on LHD roads is not safe at all.

So true, how can you safely take a left turn in heavy traffic when you can't see the traffic coming towards you? I have seen two crashes in the last six months involving RHD cars getting t-boned while turning left at traffic lights.

RHD JDM imports are freaking everywhere here.

[Raxe]

There's thousands here too. RHD Skylines, Supras and FD RX7's everywhere.

I used to argue that they were dangerous and the devil and blah blah, but in reality if you're a good driver they're no more dangerous than a LHD car. It's the bad drivers in RHD cars that multiply the dangerous factor, but they're bad drivers no matter what they're driving. Japan doesn't have the same problem and they have practically as many LHD cars as RHD.

And yes, most here are owned by sideways hat wearing douchebags too.
