Dingo Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 OK Robert81 here is U'r request. Our R34 given to us by a friend who says we needed a decent car to run round in while in the city, yep this car will sit 4 days a week in a secure location til it's fury is released on Friday evening til Sunday night each week. Rear end Almost 3/4 front view Under bonnet front engine shot Yep the rocker cover says it's twin turbo The Dash The seating arrangements Hope U like 'em Now we R lazy with power windows. Note all roll cage & bar work has been removed so it can be legal for road use, as part of the win we where given all the bar work just in case we want to comp the car but that will not happen as I'm too old an no longer interested in comp work anymore except for watching it on TV.

Nick F40 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 (edited) Very clean and sweet, you don't see too many with them, on here at least. Then again, everywhere else doesn't have the "oh my god, is that an R34???" image like here in the States. It's like the only car kids know about. Very cool and nice to see that someone was putting it to good use before you. What you mean no more competition!?

Harry P. Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 A new car has been added to our stable, about one month ago a friend of ours bought a ticket in a local car lottery and we won this. Dingo I want the kind of friends you have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencon Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 One of these days........... This is it today Got it in 1995. It was our daily driver for 2 years then I got the big idea to rip it apart. Said I would have it done in a year. Said that in 97. LOL My driver today is a 2000 Saturn Wagon. No pics of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) You are one lucky son of a gun, i can only wish that those were legal over here in the states I've seen a few gray market Skylines in the states, in CA and CO...mostly R32s, but I've seen a couple R33s and R34s. Would be hard to drive a RHD car in the US, I think. Speaking of 1:1s, my '00 Grand Cherokee will be hitting 100k miles tomorrow. I've had it since new, just under 9 years now. Been very reliable.

samdiego Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) I got this for my birthday last week. A right time, right place kinda situation. It's a '94. It's got 110,000 miles. Everything works. It really is in great shape other than the missing panel between the tailights. The original owner cried over the envelope of oil change receipts that she gave me. How much for this modern day classic? ( I've wanted one for years) $800 I'm so stoked. I sold my trusty Stanza for the $500 I paid for it five years ago. It was a really good car, but I couldn't resist. So for $300 out of pocket, I lost 80,000 miles and gained more than 10 miles per gallon. And a few style points. The more I drive it, the more I love it. Edited June 19, 2009 by samdiego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaindewd Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Would be hard to drive a RHD car in the US, I think. Postal carriers and residential garbage collectors do it everyday............at about 7 mph average. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Well, the Lincoln finally died. I was taking it to the pawn shop last month to finish raising money to buy my house, and as I was pulling away from the light at Corunna and Ballenger, she threw a rod (blast it all). Hey, I've had the thing for almost five years, and I did pay only $350 for it, so I can't complain. Yes I can- I loved that car . Now, will someone puh-leez buy my Healey so I can find a nice mid- 90's Cutlass or Grand Am coupe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hey guys just to make U even more jealous although I doubt it, U'all seem to be great guys on this forum, the Skyline is not only an R34 but an even rarer M-Spec model. I've been told there are not many of these types around anywhere let alone here in Oz ( 100 only????) so it really has to be steal/proof and that it is, it has a couple of secret things that does prevent theft but I ain't saying & wild horses would pull it out of me. Repost for this thread only rare M-Spec model, believed to be only about 100 in Oz & 3 in my home state of South Oz. Dingo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHDrew Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I finally have a ride I'm not ashamed to post... New 2010 Camaro RS, V6, Inferno Orange Metallic, Inferno Orange and black leather interior. 20 " polished aluminum wheels. I had GM mud flaps and door sill plates purchased separatly. I will also be having ghost rally stripes in Pearl Cinnamon shot some time this year. Since it's my daily driver I didn't want or need the 426HP V8. I ordered it back in October and it was worth the wait. Everything a midlife crisis should be and the best part is the Mrs. loves it.
