One of my high school friends had a red manual Skyline Silhouette GTS. That engine was so smooth and vastly more refined than the 4.0 SOHC in my AU III Fairmont.

I like you (DFB FGXR6), had a mad obsession with these Skyline red meanies. I used to have lunch outside the factory I worked at back in 1992, and in the car park next to where I worked was a Red R31 GTS, and I just wanted one.. Looked fast even while sitting still.

My ex girlfriends sister had the top of the range Skyline, and I had the pleasure of being a passenger in it for about half an hour, both in the Adelaide hills and freeway type environments. I was sold. Smooth as 3.0L engine, 4 speed auto, full of tech for the time, self locking doors on drive away, 6 headlights, great trim etc.

Truly a nice thing indeed. Being new also helped!!!


Cheers,


One Man.

I remember on a trip to Melbourne in 2001 or 2002 with the Tickford club we were out one evening and seemed to stumble apon an R31 cruise. I was next to one of the Silhouette GTS at the lights, first set he got the jump and it was close because I didn't realise he wanted a run. Second set of lights I was more on the ball and he wasn't so lucky. Had a good two lengths on him before speeds got too silly.
I was in my ED XR6.

I remember hiring one when I went to Bathurst in the early 90's, absolutely thrashed it from Sydney airport out to Bathurst to get our rooms at the college next to the track, then back to Gosford for a meal at the leagues club to meet some friends using the old Melway to navigate, slept in the car park first night , great driving car back then.

Two red Fairmont Ghia's this morning.

First, a Sparkling Burgundy AU II Fairmont Ghia with the Tickford body kit and wheels that was in need of a good paint correction. Second, a Seduce BF MK II Fairmont Ghia in beautiful condition.
