1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R from Thailand - Comments

"Godzilla!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

None mechanically. The front bumper is pushed down by the wind at high speed (270 km/h is common for me), it's now sitting about 1 cm lower.

General comments?

Great car. I have added a few aftermarket parts to gain more power. And now it has 377.5 hp to the wheels. This is achieved without playing with ECU or boost control at all, just exhaust, front pipe, air intake, no cat, and big intercooler. Very impressive handling, but the ride is too rough for Thai streets. The brakes are a bit weak for a car this heavy.

Two questions - how much did it cost (cars are very over priced in Thailand) and where did you get the money?

It's a deity's car. I have never seen the super car like this before.

Greater than Ferrari and Lamborghini.

Next question is are you sure you actually owned one, as they come with Brembo disc's and the GT-T has highly uprated brakes as well. One other question, I love Skylines, they are the nicest cars I have had the pleasure to drive, but why the hell would you go from a Ferrari 355 F1 to a £60'000 car??? That makes no sense. If you had the money to buy a Ferrari, surely you could also buy the Skyline too???

I owned a GTR R34 V-Spec 1999. I can afford a Ferrari, but would rather buy another 2 GTRs. Seriously, you don't know how good this car is until you have the pleasure of driving in it. The other comparable performance car is the Porsche 911 Twin, but we are talking about twice the price for like.5 sec from 0-100. I was at the lights next to a beautiful yellow F355 Spyder Convertible and guess which car the padestrian was checking out??? Give you a clue, not the bright yellow Ferrari, but the dark mysterious beast next to it. I rest my case on that experience alone.

No they are legal in the US but I think importing them is a lot harder than the UK.
