1984 Nissan Skyline GTS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Sexy Japanese Steel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet. Although I think one of the gearbox bearings isn't going to last much longer. $800 to fix approx.
Brakes aren't as good as what they should be, could be a bit of brake pad fade.
General comments?
It handles very, very well in the wet. After pushing this car hard into corners, in the wet and dry, I've realized how superior it is over my old car. (Ford Sierra) lol!
However, I've only had it for 4 weeks and I'm selling it. I need more power! So I'm going to get an R32 GTS-t Type M.
