Default What Car!!!!!

I went to the pictures last night to see a film with my mates. Normally when I drive out my car gets loads of attention of people walking around the cinemas complex, which I don't mind as long as I am in the car and it is not stood whilst I am in the pictures.

Last night was a little different, whilst I was driving out my car seemed to be getting a lot of attention from people. I was knacked so did not really catch on to what was happening.

When I looked in my rear view mirror there was a pretty amazing looking car. At the time I had no idea what so ever what it was, it was heavily modified with a wide arch body kit. Unfortunately it was people looking at the car behind not mind and not mine. lol

When it eventually got to the side of me in traffic I realised it was a NISSAN SKYLINE 350GT, in red and looked really nice. Although the driver seemed to know this.

When I pulled to the next set of traffic lights on a dual carraige way he pulled at the side of me. I was knacked so could not even be bothered to have ago. But this thing absolutely stormed off. Did not get far as the next trafic lights changed, sounded well though. Nothing like a scooby but a nice sound nether the less.

What do people think of these. It is a serious contender for my next car now.

You'd be better off with a 350z than a skyline 350GT, it's the same car but the 350z is more sports and the 350GT is more luxury

Think you might be getting a little confused. I am not talking about the new skyline. I am talking about the older skyline from a 53 plate. You can pick them up for between 14-17k now.

You mean an R34 then just the 2.5 GT, the 2.6 is the full blown skyline we all know but be warned, the insurance on these is probably one of the highest you will get, much higher than a scoobs
Or just get the 350z as everyone else says not turbocharged, around 287bhp but a little heavy.

I think the Skyline name continued in a new car after the R34. Not sold in the UK. Think its USA and also sold under Nissan's premier brand there, Infinity.

The current GTR35 is not technically a Skyline.

It was deffinately not the infiniti G. Had a look on piston heads and showing as a Skyline.

This is what It was but heavily modified.

I did not think it looked anything like a Skyline but there are all over pistonheads for sale as Skylines.

Standard the look pretty boring and nothing like the 350z, but the one I saw looked amazing. Wish I would have taken a photo now.

That is def an Infinity G35, as it is called in the States, or a 350GT, skyline over here. As already said, same engine as the 350z, but slightly bigger body shell and more of a luxury cruiser.
