"Car of the decade"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The car recently suffered from a miss-fire at 7200 rpm, but this has been solved by putting a set of cold-running protected tip plugs. These were £40.00 each (needed 6).

General comments?

Pure driving pleasure.

These cars are like drugs; you just keep coming back for more.

The best performing and handling super car for the money, I should know I also own a 996 and still the skyline wins every day!

Yes, I own a 2001 Mustang Bullitt edition GT, and lately I've been looking for one of the Japanese super-cars (Supra, Skyline,3000GT VR4,RX-7, and 300zx TT) I have a hard time picking one that I can afford, in fact I'm not even sure I can by a skyline in America, for under 80,000$ I was wondering if you had any insight on how and where I could attain a Skyline, or if I can't is the supra TT as good as people say?

$80,000 dollar equates to about £45-50,000 pounds sterling for this you could have your pick of the Skyline GTRs equally as capable as each other apart from the modern refinments of the R34. All us same engine same variable 4 wheel drive system and other key components.

In the UK you can pick up a

R32 GTR 1989-1994 (ish) £8-15,000

R33 GTR 1995-1999 (ish) £13-20,000

R34 GTR 2000-2004 (ish) £25-45,000

These prices apply to modles in very good condition that have been well maintained. In short £80,000 will buy you virtually any skyline you want. Supra's just can't stand up to the skylines grip due to the 4WD system Supra are rear wheel only.
