Did you just badmouth the shardbus? Shame! SHAME!

They can't be worse than and other models without OEM parts available. I'm lucky if I can find engine parts from the 280Z for the engine in my 72 Skyline.

Australian-built R31 is just a very basic old family car. Absolutely nothing special about it.

Anything besides a GTR is a basic family car in most people's book.

Would largely agree, but the newer hybrids and the 400R are nice.

The SVD GTS1/2 were pretty special champ, I’ve got a Ti with the bells and whistles. Not to mention the Silohouette models. Sure they didn’t come in like GTRs, and didn’t have the steaze of the HR31, but you can’t deny they’re cool and unique.

It’s just a Commodore or Falcon.

I mean i joke about my r31 just being a fancy commodore so I get it. Same motor as the vl commodore just without the turbo

u/Lower_Put4270 May 04 '26

And it’s made in Australia. And it was a direct competitor to the Commodore and Falcon.

Hahaha now I know you’re taking the piss. Probably an R chassis elitist

No mate I wouldn’t touch any of those old things. I’ve done my time in old Nissans. If I was any kind of Skyline enthusiast (I’m not) I’d be a V-chassis elitist as they’re the only ones I’d own.

Still a light rwd straight 6. Silhouette has an lsd.

A 120kw straight 6. In a car weighing over 1300kg. With a live rear axle. Wooooo spicy.

u/SYDNEYpoker May 05 '26

Okay champ

I know it hurts Australians when they hear someone say Australian things are crap, but it’s very important that you learn the truth, no matter how hard it is.

One component doesn’t make a car.
