1992 Nissan Skyline gts review from UK and Ireland
"Great car turns heads young and old good fun"
General comments?
Was unsure about getting the non turbo version, but had to go with funds and insurance.
Well what a surprise this has been a great car. Comfort wise takes a little getting used to but don't notice now, rear seats not too bad at all a lot of people say how small the rear is blimey you try an rx7 then.
Dash is a little old looking, but with modern gauges sprays etc iam sure could be give a modern look.
Petrol seems to be a little thirsty, but I think it depends how you drive it really.
Mine is a semi auto was worried about this as don't get on with auto's, but love it and would get again.
There still seems a lot to do with the stick overdrive power and hold buttons all give you that boost when needed. When hitting power and turn overdrive off you shoot off and leave most folks behind, but be careful to watch that petrol, but sometimes its worth it for that bit of fun.
Things to be careful are as it's a sports car and on a semi box you at lights or going slow in traffic your taking your time slowing moving when the car decides your going to slow and changes for you and you suddenly shoot forward at warp speed. Something that if you aware of you can be ready for.
This is a great car and very fast for a non turbo
very nippy and with a decat filter and larger manifold can soon be made faster, but even now doesn't hang about. And least you haven't got the problems from turbos.
Na systems are coming back in it says in japan as turbos have been done to death.
Great car, but always wants to go fast had a few Nissan sports cars and they all have the same problem always want to go.
Driving wise great very easy like driving a playstation car.
Roundabouts hold on sticks to the road My wife hates roundabouts as she spends her time stuck against the door hey you have to have fun.
As she says drifting a sport about car's that can't turn corners straight.
Bad points everyone wants to race you even if your going slow and enjoying the drive they go by you like I have beat a skyline even if your doing 60 in a 60 zone.Some reasons folks in people carriers have to try to race you some pride thing I think.Strange.
