Default Nissan Skyline

Came across one last night.

I thought all of these were fast?

Had a R-32 badge on the back-sorry don't know much about these cars.

What are the differences between specs?

R32 is model designation, then the R33 and the last being the R34, much like a MK1, Mk2 and Mk3 escort desginations

Then you have your specificic trim varients, the main ones being :-

GTS AND GT-T are single turbo RWD models, it's the GTR you need to fear, well only if it's modified.

It was really disapointingly slow Pie.

So how slow are the slow ones?

At a very rough guess based on last night I'd say 1/4 mile 15s?

Didn't know they suffered from model creep.

Came across a Tuscan last night as well-now that is fast.

Think he thought I was a copper-he screamed away from the lights at the end of a dc which goes down to a 40. Probably got up to 100-I was about 1/8 mile back when the lights turned green and promptly caughtr him up.

He then trundled around below the limit-turned off shortly, at which point he stopped in the middle of the road, clearly to look if I was following

Thought it was Ralston for a minute-but then the car looked too clean for that.

Hence how the G35 Skyline is just a lardy 350Z now, and the new uber model is just called the "GTR".
