1997 Nissan Skyline R33 V-Spec review from UK and Ireland
"Goodbye Mr. Cosworth"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some interior fell off within a week of having the car!
General comments?
One word...FUN
This car came from Andy Middlehurst Motorsport, it wasn't an import. Forget the standard BHP, get the 330bhp package straight away. Any more BHP and it voids the warranty.
Great pull off, great brakes. You just can't lose the backend, it just can't be done! Although the car does understeer heavily when pushing hard into a corner.
