1991 Nissan Skyline GTR review from Australia and New Zealand
"A super car bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car seems to be up of Nissan's normal high standards of reliability. No-thing's gone wrong in the 3.5 years I've owned it.
Clutches seem to last between 50k & 75k kilometers depending on how hard and how frequently you launch from a standing start.
I'm a Bridgestone tyres fan & my last set of S02 lasted about 25000k.
General comments?
This car so capable that it's almost boring since it has no bad habits. That said I enjoy -
1/ Its amazing performance. 5 second to 100kph.
2/ The very direct steering, as good as any BMW I've driven.
3/ The instant throttle response in any gear from 2000 revs.
4/ Its great reliability
5/ The enduring fan club this car has. Kids from 8 years old to 50 stare at it in the street.
6/ It being such a performance bargain at $NZ40,000 to buy, $2,500 pa for servicing by Nissan (including tyres & clutches), and less than $NZ3,000 a year in depreciation it's a real bargain.
