Pics you say?



I've been driving this '83 Aus delivered but now 95% JDM AE86 for nearly 10 years now. It owes me more than I'll ever hope to get for it, but I test drove a new 86 last week and decided it was finally time for an upgrade.

It does look like I'll be driving this for another year-ish though. Not that I necessarily mind... I love this car, but I'm pretty keen to get the new one now that I've taken the plunge and ordered one.

Oh we're doing pics.

Here's my progression:





















...*insert BRZ next year*

The Pulsar was the last car I sold, and it was my first. My Cube will be sold when the BRZ arrives.

I LOVE Skylines, especially the GTR ! I always said to myself that if I ever won tatts I wouldn't consider Euro exotics, just a Nissan GTR - the ultimate car !

Evidentally, I also love Skylines. RB's are sweet motors. My GT-T was a cool daily driver, it just drank so much fuel and was too low, so it had to go in the end. I didn't appreciate the extra police attention or EPA worries either. Never owned a GT-R but appreciate their capability My main haunt is still a Skyline forum even though the car I poured five figures into was a Pulsar. Parted out that car and sold it off at the start of the year. Pretty heartbreaking

@ school they called me the "Nissan-man", cos whilst everyone around me was either a Ford or Holden guy, I loved the Bluebird Turbo that set lap records on Conrod str8 instead ! Pitty they weren't reliable, the Skyline then changed that & we all know what happened when Godzilla arrived - Wooooohoooo ! What a machine ! I have HUGE for Nissan performance cars - they're brilliant.

Selling 2007 Audi A8 4.2 Twin Turbo diesel to pay for ordered GTS Pegasus M/T (so upgrade in some regards/downgrade in others)

Bought an MX5 as a temporary measure while I wait for the GTS.

Oh the amount of drool I lost each time I saw your car back on the PGA forums.. I had an N15 s2 Pulsar, your car was an inspiration Very sad once I sold mine as well.. something about that car made me so happy. *sigh* Still, the 86 fills in the gap quite well now

Haha, cheers. That car meant a lot to me, hell I could have owned near enough to 3 BRZ's with the money I spent on it. It ended up having double the power of a stock BRZ, it was properly fast. I've still got a soft spot for Pulsars, can't stop looking at them lol
