Overpriced, overweight, and overrated. Cool for the JDM fanbois.


I still like them.

Skylines are over rated. Stock they have similar performance to the evo and sti with the exception of the nimo skyline which are rare evan in japan. But skylines have great potieniall for power and are stock all wheel drive to put that power down. It is a true JDM baller car.

I seem to recall Skylines had a distinguished racing record. Not to mention how nutty some of the "Stage x" modded ones are. I like how low-key their general appearance is.

I would definitely oogle for awhile if I saw an R34 driving around.. but then I'd wonder why they didn't spend that 80k on a Z06

I wouldn't exactly say they are overrated because of all the features they come with, and superior drivetrain, overbuilt engines and sexy profile.

And like you stated the tunning capability is tremendous.
