1990 Nissan Skyline GX review from Australia and New Zealand
"A very reliable vehicle with power to satisfy most"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed new shock absorbers (were buggered when I got them anyway)
New tires.
Back brakes (disc's and pads)
General comments?
This is an amazing car that is an absolute pleasure to drive.
When purchased it had extractors, sports exhaust, CD player. Cost $4200 (i live in Tasmania so cars are more expensive)
I have since added remote immobilizer, remote central locking, tinted windows, sheepskin seat covers, power-chip.
I would recommend this car to anyone who wants a reliable car with a bit of power. Sure it doesn't beat new Commodores or Falcons, but it has enough power (mine is putting out about 135Kw and 275Nm of torque)
Can be a little bit fuel thirsty (13L/100km) but that's what you get for having a bit more power.
Overall a great car.
