Car photos/discussion thread

So...after much discussion and finding some problems with the 32 which im really not happy with

I've decided to try my hand at drifting and turn the 32 into a drift car

Whilst im doing this, im going on a search to find another Skyline which is mint....this time there is no rush and if the drifting doesnt cost me a fortune a 34 GTR maybe on the cards

I won't be certain this side of Christmas but im kinda upset my buy wasn't as awesome as it seemed!

Whats wrong with it and tbh, theres a reason all the uk drift cars are cheap beemers. That said, r32s are probably one of the most popular non silvia Japanese drifters in the scene at the mo'. Whats wrong with the skyline? :/

Its got a massive over fueling issue!
Found a small hole in the inner sill
Boot rubbers leak
Inaccurate fuel gauge

Nothing major just stupid shit thats annoying

That is a sale of classic cars and memoribila, question for here then, which car would you have from the list ?

Would you then leave it as is, or perhaps modify it ?



I would go for this =

Tax and mot exempt.

Then for good measure put this in it.

The DeTomaso, love the retro-future look about them.

To think that someone has a job that is just to go around and photo cars for auction.

What would you do to it ?

Or maybe just have that standard car ?

I'd not touch the body, especially like how they've done it. It just looks like a shite kit car imo. Instead I'd get some different wheels, supercharge it and make it a better driving experience.

So quick update on the liner

1) I've named her Skye <3
2) Turns out its mapped, but isn't running right....so it'll be getting gutted and looked at, everyone is assuming its a sensor thats unplugged or dead! You have no idea how many sensors the RB block has!
3) The strange rattling i had is the cambelt cover!

Import one mate, its the only way. Its not too bad price wise either. I saw a freshly imported r34 4 door with GTR body kit on ebay a few days ago. How about this nice R33?
