Good Points
It's a big car but once behind the wheel, it feels like a go-kart. Easy to extract more power by relatively simple intake/exhaust/fuel/boost mods.
Bad Points
Don't use the electronic lock kit, get a solid chunky lock bar instead. The stock turbo doesn't like spinning anything above 14psi, it spits the dummy above that boost level.
General Comments
Overall, the Nissan Skyline is a beautiful car, a lot easier (and cheaper) to extract extra power from the power plant than say a push-rod V8. A good handler. A lot of other so-called performance cars out there are cars originally designed as passenger cars and then turned into race cars by adding various components. Nissan designed the Skyline for one reason - to win races, it was designed as a race car and then detuned so that kids don't go killing themselves (even though they still do) and so that it can be registered for road use. So you work it out.
I paid $35K AUS for my V-spec in 2004 and since I've thrown approx $25K AUS into it. It now pumps out 384rwkw on my custom brew of 75% 98ron unleaded and 25% Toluene (Don't ask me where I get the stuff from!). She loves her octane..... Anyways, Skylines rock....long live the stove top tail lights.
