Having driven an R35, you really don't realize how big they are behind the wheel. The car doesn't feel that heavy either.

Seen this pic before many times, but it also illustrates the relative sizes quite well. I always thought the R33 and R34 were big, but they look smaller than the R32. And a lot smaller than the R35.

. With each generation, it looks like the skyline grew. Than it let itself go with the R35. The best looking for me would be one with a R32 rear with a R33 front

Right there with ya, seeing those pictures R32s definitely have the best looking rear ends. But I actually like the size of the R35s, a guy in town has a red one i see once in a great while. And man, they are beautiful cars. Just my opinion, I get that they are heavy and what not but I still like them.

That surprises me. Never compared the two in the same place but I always think the E36 is bigger than it actually is, so assumed the R34 would be similar.
As an aside, I've seen far more R35s on the road in the UK than I ever saw R34s. Both were officially available, but the R35 has been sold at far more dealers so it's much more accessible. They look cracking on the road, but it's still not a car I have any desire for.

Same here to a huge extent, to the point when I rarely react to seeing one, unless it has been heavily modified. There's no real need for that though so almost all of them are standard. I have been seeing a lot more 80-90's Japanese imports here recently though, so hopefully that means more R34 GT-R's. We've always been inundated with GT-T's and 25GT's, jut not so many of their big brother.

Judging by it's condition, I'd say it isn't driven much.

It was sold back in 2008 for 22K, Great price if you ask me, especially for something in that condition. Here are a few more pics:

Small block chevy with a big four barrel carb. How original....
I'm really not against the SBC, but why can't people make them look more interesting? Why don't we ever see an SBC with ITB's? Just imagine an LS7 with ITB's, now that wold be awesome.

I would have rather seen a new M3 4.0 liter V8 in there.

That would have been awesome but the thing is that it probably costs about the same as what the car sold for on ebay.
EDIT: I can, however, show you an engine swap of that engine in an E36 M3:

I think that's a V10. Which is way more insane!

If I remember correctly, that wasn't a small block Chevy per sé, but an all-aftermarket Donovan aluminum engine or something like that. Pretty hardcore.

I want a Genesis Coupe soooo bad.
it's a shame he put these wheels on it though.
one fine looking CRZ
these two are probably a ton of fun.
Longchamps?

I'll take the two SR20 powered Datsuns. Thanks.

If I ever moved to the States, I'd be very tempted by a Saabaru. All the benefits of the WRX but without the slightly iffy image.
Always forget they exist, and always find it amusing that as the least GM of the Saab range it was the closest to an old-school Saab in years.

i believe the one you just posted is either the same car that i posted with it's old wheels or that was his previous wagon that got totaled.
and here is the beginning of a crazy build.
a mildly built LS1 powered BMW 2002 rat rod. all the parts are from other cars that are made to fit: Cobalt SS steering rack, C5 Corvette Coil overs, Control Arms off a Panoz race car, and just random other GM parts laying around.
