Impressive spec

Take all the stickers off, they spoil it.

Far more impressive when a seemingly standard looking car takes off like they have never seen.

I used to own this little beauty



Had 347bhp at the rear wheels and weighed 825kgs

Looked totally standard from the outside, apart from the wheels, gave a few supercars/motorbikes a surprise...

bet it had some torques too - was it interesting in the wet?

I never drove it in the wet, it did have variable boost control so could tone it down if needed. It didnt handle at all, was built as a straight line sprint car for the likes of Santa Pod.

Had Nitrous too, about another 50bhp, but never bothered filling the tank up, scary enough as it was, it hit 100mph in about 8 secs.



Wish I never sold it

Get rid of the shopping list on the door for starters.

Skylines (and for that matter any hyper tuned Jap cars) leave me totally cold, for some reason. I've no idea why that's the case and think most of it's down to some of the stupid styling of the bodykits some of them sport (and even worse when seen on Fiestas/Saxos/etc). Are those canards on the front bumper legal? They kind of look like a disaster in the making in the event of a car and pedestrian interface of some form.

Yeah me too, looks like it crashed into Halfords.

I agree to an extent. Body kits on a Hyper Jap Mobile look w4nk unless they are motorsport inspired. All the "kit" on My mates skyline is there for a reason not styling.
As far as the canards being legal I wouldnt have a clue. Can't see them being illegal but I can see that they could be dangerous but you can say that for pretty much anyhting.

Wonderful if it looked like a standard car but Halfords puked all over it so at the moment it's awful.

Nice spec though.

Fair enough. lol.
Is that coz of the Stickers or the Aero kit?

Damn I miss my skyline!
