1987 Nissan Skyline Silhouette review from Australia and New Zealand

The steering rack has been replaced at 150,000 kms.

I had the differential overhauled at 200,000 kms. While the diff was away I repaced all the suspension bushes and rear shock absorbers. Timing belt and belt tensioner was replaced around the same time.

Replaced the clutch at 230,000 kms and the tail shaft centre bearing.

Replaced the lower ball joints, control arm bushes and tie rod ends at 250,000kms.

The engine is using about 500ml of oil every 5000kms which isn't a real concern.It's getting a little tired, but generally is running well. Fuel consumption is around 11L/100kms around town and on the open road that drops to between 7 and 8L/100kmsThe ride is quite comfortable and it cruises easily at the legal speed limits.

I hate to say it, but the only real problems with this car are the Australian components used in it. The Borg-Warner diff is a shocker and the TRW steering rack isn't anywhere near as good as the Jap rack found in some models.
