Title made you look though! wink

Afternoon all

Gave the cars a quick clean on my day off. The GTR had been sitting for a couple months during the cold and was filthy!






















I'm not entirely sure what the future holds for my babies as i'd like to run one 'do it all' car as a daily and maybe a cheap toy. Been looking at M5's and D3 Audi S8's and maybe a Renault 5 Turbo project

Love your Skyline. Such a great shape. How have you found running costs since you bought it? I remember your thread about a year ago. I'm quite keen to own a 32 or 33 at some point but am a little afraid of it bankrupting me!

I was hoping for an 8 and a 4 myself.

Also, how is a 535d not a "do it all" car?

Thanks lads.

I had the Skyline on the rollers in jan and it made what equated to 395@ 1 bar, so it can be thirsty, especially as it only seems to like V power and drinks it at a rate of 12 mpg (might have something to do with my driving style). I wouldn't want it for a daily commute, put it that way.

The 535d is a very capable car and I love the way it drives (best watch my words, as i'll start off the true PHers with the 'yeah but it sounds crap and dont rev!), but as my only car, i just feel its not quick enough, especially if i let the GTR go. I'd love an M5 touring to replace em both and come back to the Skyline fold in the future.

32 all the way. The 33 feels/looks much bigger. As you could imagine, my tuner has had 100's of Skylines, but never a 33.

Thanks for the comments though.

Thanks for the comments lads. I'm hoping to get to a few meets and shows with it this year. Did fancy Le mans but left it too late.

Needs a good flaying too, and some light swirl removal and it'd be perfect! Same needs doing on the BMW. The paints wombats though, I haven't got the patience for it!
