1991 Nissan Skyline GTS 25 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fun, practical performance car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front suspension arms needed rebushing - cost $NZ200ish.
Manifold water pipe rusted from the inside out - water leak. Difficult repair so cost $NZ800ish.
Minor electrical issues due to age: instrument bulbs blowing, dirty electric window switches etc.
General comments?
Reasonably economical, varies 25-38 Miles Per Gallon depending on how it is driven.
Handles very well especially in slow tight corners and long fast corners (HICAS 4 wheel steering is excellent).
Well appointed interior. The only issue I have with it is the cabin space - obviously designed for small people.
The gear ratio spacings of the auto don't seem to fit the engine characteristics very well - it's either screaming it's head off or over-geared.
