whilst performance wise they were both brilliant, interior quality was very sub standard. Dash was made from recycled vending machine cups, switches broke all the time (3 indicator stalks in 5 months) and wind noise just got me down after a while. Add to this the whole 'image' attached to skylines then/now. South-end cruises and macdonalds car park doing doughnuts etc.
On the track, both of the ones i had were simply stunning, but that was once in a blue moon. As a daily driver, they were neither comfortable or practical for day to day stuff, and every c*ck in a chaved up corsa wanted a race all the time. The other major factor in selling was insurance (4k fully comp, I lived in london at the time).
Got rid of the last one due to me growing up a bit and needing a more family orientated car, is still thought of fonldy though.
1st one I had was an R33-Gtr, Imported from japan
2nd one I had was an R34-Gtr V spec, again jap import (original jap auction photos)
all of the mods were done to both cars when i brought them in japan. BIG advantage to importing if you want a high spec modded skyline.
