marcAB10 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 hey, we have a lot of joint skyline/supra meets up here in Aberdeen so feel free to join us on the next one (one soon probably) At the last meet a girl came in her flip painted R32 GTR from Fife so you should have a convoy buddy Get yourself onto http://www.skylineowners.com some great localish guys there, and I'm a member there too, to help arrange joint meets. Anyhoo.. I'll hopefully get to see your new 33 at Knockhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECK Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 things arent going according to plan, i sent off for a history check on the car and guess what:search: it's been a cat "c" total loss:rolleyes: so i went back down the garage and lifted the supra, so after all the bloomin hasstle im back to square one however i have seen a really nice one on the skyline owners.com for sale so im gonna get intouch with the guy, hopefully this one will be the rite one thistime:) alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 so i went back down the garage and lifted the supra, so after all the bloomin hasstle im back to square one Huh? I thought you had sold it and the new owner had paid you and taken it away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 you got a good price for it. I think most would have grabbed that offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 You'll regret going from Supra ownership to Skyline ownership IMO. They just aren't so well engineered or reliable again IMO - that's generally what I've found between Toyota and Nissan. Plump for a Supra TT - have your cake and eat it Good price to get for your NA in any case! Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECK Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Huh? I thought you had sold it and the new owner had paid you and taken it away? hey jake the guy that bought it was the guy that runs the garage i was buying the R33 from as soon as i saw the history report i calld him and he was good enough not to be a ass about it all so i told him the deal was off as far as im concerned i either have a R33 with a trade in on the supe or ill just keep the supe as i really do like it i just need a little more room in the back for josh eck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L33 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 nice looking car mate but you could of got more performance with a TT supra! and insurance is less too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 It looks a minter Gotta be a much better deal in the wet, can throw it around the bends a lot more with 4WD and it'll stick like glue. I know a few supra owners who've gone on to Skyline ownership and wouldn't go back. Horses for courses, eh? I'm not a purest, love all jap performance cars enjoy mate!! I think you should show it of to the Jap North East lads, they're a nice bunch. Linda x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Very nice mate. Don't lose the centre caps for those wheels as they are impossible to source Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2o2 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Nice mate - Did you not fancy a TT instead ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECK Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 hey thanks for the comments gaz i will be getting new wheels soon anyhoo (ultralights) are the wheels on it worth anything 2nd hand? as far as the TT supra goes it was more a factor of space in the back for my son (josh) he just couldent get in the back of the supe atall and i gotta be honest in the wet its just as good as in the dry, which in GB is prob the better deal eck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
