Preston Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Has anyone ever considered buying a Nissan Skyline or has anyone ever owned one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I had a R33 GTR back in 2000,best car I have ever had. Was uprated to around 400bhp,sadly I wrote it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm assuming by skyline you mean R32/33/34? If so yes, I very nearly sold up last year to buy an R33 & also when a member on here was selling theyre R34 GTT I nearly bought that if the insurance had not been too much. I'm just waiting for R34 GTR prices to drop a bit more & the Z will be going for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can finally insure a GTR for a reasonableish price, but Z prices are going down and GTR prices are not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 You can pick R33s up for around £15k now. Mine was £25k but don't forget it was a £50k car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I love them and nearly bought one before I bought the zed. I was made to look stupid at a set of traffic lights recently. The new GTR is awesome but the skyline is one hell of a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 One of the ugliest cars out there. Looks like it was designed with a ruler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 R35 = £55K ish......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I think a turbo'd zed would be just as good if not better then an R33 GTR... Yes I know it's more money doing that... but if you sit inside a skyline it just feels dated and old... The zed is MUCH prettier too! Having said that, my neighbour used to have one and they were cracking cars... Would love to have an R34 GTR... but they're stupidly expensive and insurance isn't cheap either!

PhilTheForce Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 One of the ugliest cars out there. Looks like it was designed with a ruler. Afraid I've gotta give a +1 on that! I'm surprised so many Zed owners love em - they are a world apart in looks. Awesome performance I admit but if that's all you want you can go faster for less £ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that expensive when you consider how much they were new Before the exchange rate dropped I was looking at cars in Japan from £16k, now the cheapest ones are about £20k.
