I am now researching to write a book, charting and documenting the history and background of the R32, 33 and 34 model Skylines, as a guide for the potential owner and as an atleast partial explanation of why the Skyline is so special. It will not just be GT-R's but all the lower models too (although information on them seems limited as generally anything without a turbo doesnt get mentioned on the web).
Before embark on the writing journey, I want to be sure that no-one here is doing, or knows of someone else that is doing this. The only Skyline books I've seen have been in Japanese, so I'm hoping this will be one of the first written in english.
I'll be asking a lot of the forums over the coming months (years lol) in the process of writing as I want to get a lot of peoples opinions of the Skyline in general, why its achieved such status when "similar" cars like the Impreza and Lancers just dont have this mystery "X" factor. I know why I have an unnatural skyline obsession - but I'd like to find out about everyone elses too!
I'll also be PM'ing quite a few of you over the next few months to see if its ok for me to use photos of your cars in the book. For anyone that didnt read my ideas on the other thread about books, I want to also cover the special models from Nismo, Mines etc
If anyone has any suggestions as to the general level of content they would like to see in this book then please do reply to this, or PM me. At some time or another though, I will try to seek EVERYONE's opinions!
Cheers,
Dan
