skyline1 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Had some guy from sheffield come to look at the skyline today and he fell in love instantly, feel abit gutted to see it go but im sure ill get over it. had her since 8/10/2008 till the present day and spent a absolute fortune on her. all good things have to come to a end though (for a short time). gonna be looking for a supra now i think, if ive worked out right i should have a budget of just over 8K:) so will be on here prowling the classified section.

skyline1 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Cheers mate I'm trying to find as much about supra's as I can, just alot of difference from a supra to a skyline. I don't think I've seen yours in the classified section mate? Do you a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spence Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I have come from owning 5 skylines and must admit I do prefer the supra. More refined an a damn sight less chavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've seen yours in the classified section mate? Do you a link? My only skyline experience was a brief drive in a R32 GT-S 4-door, the steering I admit felt very surreal and it had shagpile carpet Link to my car http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?266433-UK-spec-Auto-Single-syvecs-580bhp-%A39k-ovno If as a person new to these cars and looking to buy can I recommend a few threads to read from the tech section? http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?67644-What-to-check-when-buying-a-Supra http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?59334-Supra-Guide-and-Model-Differences-Chart http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?86128-The-Autobox-Modes-of-Operation http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?56684-FAQ-Oil-Fluid-Interval-Capacity-Steering-Brake-Coolant-Diff-Engine http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?10489-Views-on-the-auto-versus-the-manual-gearbox There's many more, but at least these will give you a feel for things. If you're after 400bhp odd you can just go for BPU cars.

No problem chap. Well it's ovno, not offers over that price Either way good luck in your hunt. Take your time. Don't dismiss the auto without a ride or a drive in one. Glad to see from the skyline you're not afraid of having/running a modified motor! Stick around. This place is quite nice once you get used to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline1 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Cheers mate , from the links you put up for me it seems like the manual box isn't the best box to have , crunchy and clunky, guess it depends if it's been looked after or had the right lubricant in it. Ideally I wanna drive both boxes but with years of driving a manual box it's just what I sway to really. Got a few supra's lined up to have a nosey around ( members on here) do that will give me a better idea of the cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
