1987 Nissan Skyline GXE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Comfortable, Quick, DRIFTER!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch went due to thrashing
Back disc brake went due to drifting.
General comments?
This car for its age and only a single cam engine goes pretty damn hard and loves going sideways, unfortunatly it only has a 1 spinner diff. I would deffinatly consider getting another one, and I have future plans to drop a Rb25det turbo engine in it from the R33 GTS-T Skyline.
