1983 Nissan Skyline GTX review from South Africa
"Old and still able to compete in comfort and speed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electronic Distributor.
Heating problems in traffic.
Cracked the chassis just above stabilizer bar mountings, in front.
General comments?
Although this is an old car with only having l28e motor, it's still a kicks a major punch compared with most newer 6 cylinders produced locally and internationally.
Love the electronics on such an old car.
Has full house set up.
