Get a s13 or something.. dirt cheap in the uk
I'm in love with Skylines dude..... althought I do like both the S14a and the MR2 mk2 Turbos. There's nothing like being able to say you own a Skyline for me. Well, other than being able to tell people you own a Ferrari (my all time fave marque) but that's many years away
I just love the looks and tuneability of the Skyline turbos.....
A GTS would be a far better idea but even then they are not cheap to maintain and fuel costs can get obscene.
One bit of advice about eBay Skylines and the cheaper ones in particular.....they WILL be shitters....no ifs no buts!
Its a false economy buying a cheap/tatty one as if you are unlucky it will cost more repair than its worth fully repaired and at best it will be a dripping roast that will cripple you financially.
Far safer to go to a reputable specialist and pay the extra for a well maintained and/or modified example.
