I guess they had to with a new Supra coming along.


the body kit on it is seriously overdone.. sounds like it'd be fun to drive though :)

did you get too excited with the first post?

I spasmed and hit the send button :)

_way_ too much information ;-)

No, too much information is when i post the avi and jpg :)

ach - tears running down his leg

Very very nice, now why doesnt my skyline look like that :(

Mmmmmm. Don't know about he price though. You could work the f*ck out of a stock R34 for what that thing cost.

Fraser

Yeah, but it like the high output Lancer Evos. Fully factory supported, so if it breaks, Nismo/Nissan should fix it. Yes I know it is an import but as it is being ordered new, something should be sortable through Nissan Japan and Nissan Europe headoffices.

And resale would be heaps better too. But for that sort of money here you could buy 2 R34 GTRs and a trust T88 turbo kit for one of them. With plenty left over for engine management etc.

Fraser

All well and good, but Fraser is right - it's well over £100,000 !

That's just loony money for a fancy Skyline ! You could pick up all manner of exotica for that sort of budget...

True, but exclusivety costs.=20

Not just any fancy Skyline though. And would these "All manner of=20 exotica" be as suitable as a daily driver as a Skyline, even one as=20 expensive and tweaked as this? Don't Ferraris need full total services=20 every 3k miles, and the older sportier ones full engine rebuilds?

I imagine that this Skyline driven normally would only require standard=20 Nissan style servicing on normal service intervals. TCO would be lower,=20 rarity would be higher, especially in cheshire where every second pleb=20 appears to be a pro footy player with something italian as a daily=20 driver and a Cayenne Turbo for the missus. And more people would be more=20 likely to buy a used Skyline than a used footballer's Ferrari (apart=20 from my boss that is).
