Nissan Skyline

Nissan Skyline R33 gts-t. I imported my Skyline R33 gts-t in 2006 from Japan. The car was in immaculate condition and the only modifications were a front and rear strut brace. At the time of importing the Skyline I also owned a Subaru Impreza Turbo, so It would be interesting to see how these two cars compared. Firstly the Skyline has 250bhp compared to the Impreza'a 215bhp, but as the Skyline is the heavier car, the performance in a straight line was very similar to that of the Impreza. Out of the two, the Skyline was definitely the more fun, being rear wheel drive, no traction control, it led to many hairy moments in wet conditions. Many a ...  Read the complete review

Authors Note Aefras challenge struck me as an extremely difficult opinion to write. I guess there are a number of factors that effect my undertaking; I only passed my driving test at the age of 28 (I'm now 30) and I've only bought one car, a Ford Sierra that had gone 250,000 miles before I acquired it for the whopping sum of £100. I currently own a fairly un-noteworthy Honda Concerto. It does what it's supposed to do but hardly turns heads. Finally I have very little engine knowledge. Sure I can tell the difference between an air filter and a distributor cap, but that's about as far as it goes. To this end I thought perhaps I might fill this ...  Read the complete review

I have lusted after a Skyline for many a year, I had never had the chance to drive one of these cars and the UK price is well out of the reach of this mortal. Well a new one is anyway! I have just returned from Japan and whilst I was there I have been looking for a new car to replace my present Toyota Crown. The reason I am looking at a car in Japan is the price. Even with UK tax to pay on importation its still cheaper than UK dealer prices. However thats the subject of another opinion. My first port of call in my search for a new car was the main Nissan Dealer in Osaka and here they have 3 skyline models, the V-Spec II, the GT-R and the M-Spec. ...  Read the complete review

I bought a M Reg Nissan Skyline GT-S 4 months ago and I have to say it has been a real pleasure to own. I spotted it in the autotrader web-site, went down and met the car importer who had just rolled it off the boat from Japan, got inside and fell in love instantly. From the moment the key is in the ignition you have this lovely throaty power roar, all 230 brake horses stampeding in unison. The car is a non-turbo 2.5 litre model, rear wheel drive, with climate control, active exhaust, I thought it prudent to have it checked out by an independant engineer before parting with the cash - he marked it 9/10 so i knew i was on safe ground. I've ...  Read the complete review
