1988 Nissan Skyline GX review from Australia and New Zealand
"An amazingly torquey 3 litre engine, all wrapped up in a body that does it no justice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Noisy differential.
General comments?
The Skyline is an extremely powerful car that performs and runs like a dream. The engine runs so smoothly you can balance a 50 cent piece on its side on top of the head. The car is now a great value buy as most have depreciated, but the engine was originally going to be guaranteed by Nissan for 400,000 kilometres. More kilowatts than its rival, the VL Commodore.
