Had an R33 GTST mate and they are BIG and LONG mate.
They also try to kill you if you take a roundabout or corner too quickly.
Powerfull cars mind....250bhp atandard and the easiest cars to tune around.Add a decat and induction kit and straight to 270 bhp.
I would stick with the coop mate.....I regretted getting the skyline after the coop.They look good from the outside but the inside looks tat compared to the leather interior of the coop.

Thats what i think the interior of the skyline is ubber gash but maintaining much easier and lots of cheaper parts around and a very nice bunch of people on skyline owners and sam keeps tempting me with evo's evil

The skyline block will never fail.....maybe the strongest engine around.
They are soooo fast as well......rear wheel drive.
If it was not for how shat they were on the inside (Mrs. hated it)...I would still have one now.Well,if it had not killed me that is.
paul
Edit....if you want a proper jap car.....get an R33 gtr mate...cost a bit more but that is the ultimate rear wheel drive supremo

Hi guys, I agree with spit if are going to have a skyline it has to be a gtr! My dad as a 650 bhp r33 gtr and they are not cheap to maintain even standard!! Gtsts are good but I would say they are no cheaper to maintain than a coupe,maybe a little more. James...

Your car would be worth more in bits i would say! I recently broke a 16vt up that didn't quiet have the spec that yours had but i made an easy 750 profit plus the money back i paid for the car at cheap prices too and have stuff for my self too!!

I would certainly look at selling it first, why break a perfectly good car especially if it is as described?

Ive not listed all the performance mods there are more like a barnacle widget and lowered by 35mm custom center console loom with a ignition on off properly fused up so no blown fuses a AFR gauge fitted comes and a loom left there if you want to it a boost gauge walbro pump and wiring mod doesnt use any water and maybe half a litre of oil every 2000 miles if not less and will be having some new hubs fitted to the front and in the last few months front and rear mintex pads and discs look new still and every part of the suspension changed.

it is a minter but the 9k ive put into her mechanicaly and the toys ill never get that back dont get me wrong it is a nice car to drive and its been the vain of my wallet and sam has test drove it and brought memorys of his old 16vt,

Over the next few months whilst im deciding it will have a paddle clutch fitted and the bodykit sprayed up posibly fitted.
