1995 Nissan Skyline Gts 2.5 turbo

Summary:

A car that loves to be driven

Faults:

OK, when I first bought this car, I was like a little boy at Christmas. I soon found out that after a while, the legend that was a Skyline was not indestructible as once thought. The first thing I had to replace were the spark plugs as the engine was misfiring. The second was the fan belt needed renewing. These problems all popped up within a week of owning the car, so not a great start.

General Comments:

The car itself is a great drive, which thrills every-time. I find myself pushing it harder and harder, and still it continues to impress time after time. It's not the fastest of cars out there, although it will blitz quite a few of them.

The handling for a car of its size is astonishing; it will glide through the corners like they weren't there. Anyone who says this car doesn't handle obviously doesn't have a clue. I've been an amateur race driver now for 8 years, and this car is great on the road.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

1995 Nissan Skyline GTR-R33 V-spec 2.6 twin turbo

Summary:

There is no better

Faults:

Fortunately nothing as yet as only 5000 miles covered since acquired. However should anything go wrong, time to get a second job!

General Comments:

This car is an import from Japan.

Absolutely fabulous. Stunning performance and poise, arouses much interest (perhaps too much), is difficult therefore to be used everyday for mundane things. Scared to leave it in a car park etc. Difficult to find anywhere to service the thing as imports seem to be frowned upon.

Question - you had a Nissan 200sx before this skyline - how much more powerful does it feel? Does it pull a lot stronger? How does the extra power cope with the extra weight?

What kind of a question is that? 200SX vs a Skyline? Think about this... the Skyline is a fat and heavy car. Throw that fat car to 60 miles an hour at 5 seconds - you better catch your teeth as they fall into your throat. SKYLINE IS KING. There is no other.

Going to get one soon in yellow. 20 years.
