A 95 Nissan Skyline R33 rhd came through our shop for a tint job.
The gentleman has a passion for his Skylines, I hope to see the rest of his collection!!

Nice! What else did he say he has?

He buys and sells Skylines. This is his 4th I beleive.
One in his collection is a tricked out R34 that maxed out a 1K hp dyno already.
He'll have 3 Skylines in HIN philly this year.

Is his name Harley? goes by Roy sometimes?

Doesn't Brent's co-driver collect them too?

You want his phone number too?

lol
no
I think those cars are the most over-rated vehicles on the planet.
We just know people who collect them too. I thought it might be one of them. They are both local to PA.

I'm just messin with ya. I have to look back and see what his name was. He's the second gentleman I've met myself that deals them.

me likey...

Yea,

Brad has 3 I think, one R34, two R35's and he might have a R33. His R34 is a Tomei built/tuned NurSpec... midnight purple.. definitely a show winner.

FYI, Porsche owners hate Skylines/GT-R's... that is pretty much a given.. whatever. ;-/

I Like the GTR you know that Brent. And I had a Z remember? It's not like I'm hating on Nissans or anything.

It's the older skylines. And I don't hate them. It's just that their owners tend to think that the car is much better than it is. I guess I used to believe the hype but, every skyline I have ever been around has been a disapointment.

There isn't anything disappointing about the GTR though...

Alicia is full of hate.

You know I was just ribbing you right? There is soo much 'word play' between Nissan and Porsche about the Ring times, not just the car nuts, but the companies themselves... It really is crazy. I think the Corvette guys have even jumped into the fray with the ZR1 and their Ring times beating the 911 Turbo by a good bit.

I definitely like this car and as I have been doing more and more reading, I look forward to driving a real Porsche soon. I would like to see how the handling and performance really stack up for a 'normal' driver and not the track guys that do all the testing/reviews. That’s what I really like about the GT-R, you can really drive hard and the car feels like it not only stays in control, but that you can give it a lot more and it will continue to stay in control. I have definitely never pushed it to it limits, I know the car can handle much more then I would be comfortable giving it.

My Z on the other hand had a lot more power, and while it was LOADS of fun going straight and could really get your blood flowing in turns, you could never really use that power because you had to be very mindful that it would squirt out sideways with just the slightest bit of power applied at the wrong moment. It got to the point that I would only run with my wastegate pressure unless I wanted to run someone as 450 Rwhp was plenty for normal roads. Anything more was dangerous. As it was if I was making a lane change and floored it on low boost I had to be very careful it did not shoot off at 90degrees (very much like my experience with the Viper in Vegas, man I would have killed myself in that car if I had taken it for the Rally that year!). It was always: apply gobs of power in the straight, brake and hold on in the corners until exiting and apply power again.

I swear the GT-R takes minimal thought when changing lanes. I can just gun it, and it will easily handle a rapid lane switch at over 120mph. I can also go deeper into turns and power out much earlier with the AWD in the GT-R. Great car for your average driver that is for sure.
