1994 Nissan Skyline GTS4 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best car I've ever driven (including turbos)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Large hole in after market muffler, fixed by dealer just after purchase.
Rev counter not working.
Off switch on heater broken.
Horn broke, fixed by dealer.
Thermostat jammed, cost $200 NZD to fix.
Replaced original battery at 145,000 kms. This is bit of a mission as the battery is tucked in directly under the rear speakers.
General comments?
Amazing car- looks, handling and performance all for under $10,000.
I spent close to one year looking for one of these, they are quite hard to find in a manual coupe. The handling is superb being a 4WD. It's been professionally lowered as well so sticks to the road something wicked. Leaves all other cars behind on the corners.
Performance is good. Never sluggish, never struggles. This car is best driven on open twisty roads. Not very economical round town, even considering the engine size. Definitely something to do with the 4WD.
The interior is very comfortable and is in near mint condition even though the car is 12 years old. Back seat is smallish although fine for small people or children. Boot space very small.
Despite all the faults listed above, nothing serious has gone wrong with the car even though we drive it pretty hard. Clutch has taken more than its fair share of abuse and still shows no signs of wear. Uses no oil between services and always starts first time.
Everyone who has driven this car has been impressed. This car turns heads wherever I take it. If you are looking at buying one I would recommend buying a manual transmission as they hold their value much better and you just don't get the "full experience" with the auto.
