| So I'v bought the commonwhore of the japanese car world an R33 Skyline, I wasn't planning on buying a skyline but a workmate was selling his at a price to good to resist so I had to have it. Initially I wasn't that interested but once I saw the stack of receipts for the work He'd done on it I had to have it. Unfortunately this means my Soarer has to go to make room So its for sale (again) most of you have seen it its not the tidiest around but the price reflects that $3700. I'll still be lurking at the odd cruise where I can scam a ride from someone. This is an awesome club (and forum) and I'v thoroughly enjoyed being a part of it Cheers Luke (PS if anyone's interested in buying the Soarer gimme a call 0437595127) |

Hahaha of course you did sorry bro guess I'm just too excited bout the new wheels lol Soarer is a 94 GT-L 2.5 twin turb 18" chromies Saber fmic turbosmart boost tee quad cannons coil packs will probably need done in the not too distant future its alright on standard boost but misses if you wind it up. also has a weird miss under part throttle from time to time. Iv been told either tps or coilpacks. |

| I think the reason I see so many broken down is that there are so many of them on the road and so many with poor quality mods and zero maintenance. |

Roger that. The 17s are light and wide(255rears) and good for racing ,the 18s are big, blingy, and ever so slightly gay (but phully sek) |

Oh it has 2 completely different sets of mags don't worry they're not mismatched haha the 18s are on now but if i went racing I'd change to the 17s there's an interior shot above but I'll try get a recent engine bay shot asap |

First things to change will be removing the spoiler (swapping for boot lip spoiler) and winding the teins down a bit. not a fan of the 4x4 ride height |

| Yea the spoiler im getting only fills in the gap left by the old spoiler, it doesnt extend beyond the bootline so its nice n stealthy (might even try buy a cf one) I finally took ownership today and have been scaring myself stupid all day. its a bit of a handful lol. 275/30/19s on the back and it just drifts everywhere > hehehehehe I think im in love. When im back from work I'll take u for a spin....err....drive |

| They are so ugly though. Nissan engineer some cool stuff, but they do seem to struggle with aesthetics. |

| I used to agree with the ugly comment but its growing on me Soarer price drop $3000 must go! Took skyline to drags last night fried the clutch 1st run had to crawl off the line (60ft was 2.7sec!!) and had almost no drive in 4th. ran 13.3 at 190kph was thoroughly disappointed. but the new clutch was booked for monday anyhow so its all good. next time i want 11s |
