1987 Nissan Skyline GX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Excellent buy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I 1st got the car, the fuel injection system (or as many people call it, the onboard computer) wasnt reading any of the signals from the engine.
The park break didn't work.
Many things started to go wrong after hitting a kangaroo at 130kph, but they are just minor problems.
General comments?
It cost us $3000 to get the body re-done after hitting the kangaroo, which is reasonably good.
The power is amazing, the chassis has buckled from the high acceleration (theres not many family cars that are able to do that)
The interior is excellent, and very easy to clean.
The steering is amazing, very direct.
