1998 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR V-SPEC review from UK and Ireland
"More street cred than anything else on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This is my dream car, I have wanted one for three years and finally got it!
At first the car feels very fast and corners very tightly.
But as you get use to it, you can get in a little trouble, especially in the wet. Everybody thinks it's a skyline and you can't loose it, that's rubbish you can.
Having said the above it still puts a huge smile on your face when your doing a 105 miles an hour down country lanes.
And you can't go anywhere without being noticed. So many people stop and point, and you can see them repeat the words it's a skyline.
The only thing I want now is more power than I've got at present, which is around the 350 BHP mark.
And after this car I really want an R34, But alas no more money left boo hoo!!
