it looks nice, sounds nice, turns on a dime and its pretty unique. exactly what i wanted. its a bit much on the fuel but you forget that when you hop in and take it for a spin and realise how much enjoyment you get out of itOct 24, 2010

Not your standard car but the very best i have driven (and as a motor dealer thats a few) Modified sensibly there is no better bang for your buck. Expect a hefty fuel bill but a grin to match. Find some one who loves it too to service it Jun 03, 2010

Its ok, but it needs a coat of paint and some bushings in the back. Other then that it likes to dance :D Solid car, needs new coilovers and some other stuff, all little stuff and easy fixes. Nuff said!Sep 25, 2009

What a car!! I use it for fun because I love driving it. Joyful, fast and responsive. RB engines are brillinat and an R32 with RB25DET swap is all you need to turn every weekent into a car lover's holiday. I simply love it because it doesn't take an expect to know which car is the best out there. Supras are cool, American cars are fabulous but there is nothing like a Skyline.Aug 29, 2009

Smooth and comfortable with a very strong engine a good gear change, and relatively powerful brakes; however the handling is appaling and the interior is not great either. Instrumentation and seats are spot on; and it has a big boot and good towing. Also there is a lot of performance that could be extracted.Aug 15, 2009

It is fast so i love it, 0-60 is in 4.7 seconds. Broke the Nurmberg time, was so good it was banned from the australian touring car. Very fun the speed is quick and very responsive comes alive when you go faster.Aug 08, 2009

Okay so it's old, but it's good. Not great looking, and not that well equipped either because it's just a base model. Sure it's fun to drive, the engine still has a bit of kick in it. Off the line it's not bad. Handling is alright, not special. I need my brakes done. It's a bit thirsty especially if you encourage it. In the 12 years it's been in the family I don't know of any major things that have gone wrong, and I've had it 6 months with just a few minor issues.Jul 07, 2009

Great performing car. Not the easiest vehicle to work on based on the hydraulic lines and electrical support for the 4wd system and 4 wheel steering. Does have a flimsy feel to it as compared to say my Supra but then again it weights 700 lbs less.Jun 25, 2009

it drive great and performance is great, the interior in the car is great to sit in, the exterior looks great and if the car is lowered and if it sits on 17-18 inch rims on it, and a carbon bonnet it looks like the best car i have ever sine. Mar 18, 2009

Ti model, Awesome car. very comfortable to drive, power windows, cruise control etc. The RB30 engines are very strong motors and are capable of some serious HP. and can be done a lot cheaper than a lot of other cars of the same calibre. I like the look of them also. Oct 01, 2008

This car is a living legend! With about 500 hp and four wheel drive and steering it is a monster. Welcome to track and I will show you what its all about! Or bring your own "sport" car and look my back lights, Skyline GTR Banzai! Here we go! GTR for ever! Sep 08, 2008

Well, simply its a Skyline, and its just as good if now better then the other one i had. The inline six from Nissan is so smooth. It has alittle more lag from the front mount intercooler that it has, but it does have more power after the first big of laging is gone. And right now she burns rich so she shoots flames! :)Sep 07, 2008

It's a GT-R, pretty much stock bar TEIN coilovers, 3.5" Catback, 17x9" BBS LMs, strut brace, HKS hardpipes, Shortshift... Does 0-100kmh in around 5 secs dead and the 1/4 mile in close to a flat 13. Handling is sensational, very balanced and predictable. Doesn't have the gigantic torque wave of the supra but revs like mad. Interior is nice, seats are great. Spoiler actually generates downforce, which is good. Good times!Aug 12, 2008

this is an awsome car, but power comes with a price. very expensive to maintain. not a car to have if your borderline broke all around performance was awsome! Braking, Acceleration, steering and comfort. best thing about these cars is that they are made to be a status car! haha.Jul 26, 2008

Have owned this BNR32 for around 18 months and use it as my daily driver, it has been basically faultless (considering its age and the life it has no doubt lived) love the amount of bolt on's available for it, not to mention you can still get OEM's from nissan if you so desired. Dash is clear and easy to read without taking ur eyes off the road for long, Front seats are awesome, backseats suit amputee's & midgets only. Bodywork is fairly bland but oh so sexy at the same time, aluminium bonnet & front quarter panels which helps to keep weight down. The car handles incredibly well in stock form... wack in a set of coil overs, poly bushes, sway bars front n back and you will blow your load, twice!. Performance wise the car is powered by nissans legendary? RB26DETT, which is capable of supporting pretty huge power on stock guts, however as i said in the cons.... the ceramic turbos are biggest down fall in the performance department. All in all im glad i bought one, if anything i regret not having got one years ago! Jun 19, 2008

Too many problems in 1.5 years of ownership. Dead tailshaft, blown injector hose almost resulting in fire, dud steering rack, terrible cooling system, dead A/C, and before upgrading, incredibly sloppy suspension. But with a few tweaks was very nice and quick off the line, great first car.Mar 21, 2008

Well the car is reasonably stock at the moment, 2.0 in-line six. Got a few mods such as Koni Adjustable suspension up front and King Springs on the rear, Advan AVS Model 5 rims,, Free-flow exhaust system, Stripped inteior, Sablet Harness. RB30DET Engine build in progress. Full spec is pushing 600bhp, using GT3540 Turbo, Motec ECU, Wiseco Pistons and Rods, Kelford Cams, RB26DETT valve-train.Jan 23, 2008

I owned this car for about 18 months. Had some great times in it, adn some frustration when thigs failed due to age (power steer pump, etc.) I rcommend these cars to anyone as long as you don't pay too much initially and have some spare money for running repairs and modifications.Dec 26, 2007

How do I submit JDM vin numbers?

I have a 1990 skyline listed on your website. An offer has been received, but japanese vin numbers are shorter than USA vin numbers. How do i respond to the buyer if car gurus won't let me proceed because my vin doesn't work with your system?

Battery to fuse box wiring issue

Hello! The photo is showing the issue, where the wire has broken in the middle. The thick cable at one end connects to the negative terminal of the battery. Both of the cables branching off of that lead to different places in the fuse box. The intact cable allows for the car to start regularly, but the one that has broken in half controls electricity to all the electronics, and I can't shift gears even after car is running. You may notice I have no real name for this part, to be honest I'm a novice here. If anyone could tell me any information about that part, a serial number for it or just a lead for a place I might find a replacement. Thank you to everyone!
