So you like some japanese cars.

I never said I didn't

Remember I grew up with "eurojunk" and "japcrap" as the only cars around. And US imports were the "exotics" hehe

I know the Skyline for what it is - a 4 door taxi cab/police car/rental car platform - and as such, appreciate the Coupe version of the car for what it is - a "sporty" version of a generic large sedan - not a true sports car.

Thats why I only "like" the R32/33/34 versions of the Nissan tubby coupe - past familiarity - I don't like the new edition.

I only care about the gtr and gts versions of the skylines myself.
Where on the same page again this is getting quite boring lol.

Man that car is clean. It looks soooo much better without a spoiler IMO. I can't imagine what that thing is like to drive. Thanks for the great vid, pagani!

pagani · 11-26-2007, 04:59 PM

I think just about anybody who knows their skylines knows this car. Like they said, it is the ultimate.

Someone in mother-in-law's neighbour had bought a right hand drive Skyline. I should go and ask what the guy is going to do with it.

Hot rodding is engine building chassis work fitting(improving the car)/
Tuning is setting the suspension mapping the engine etc.
Nissan skyline gtr is a japanese hot rod/muscle car.
