suggestions on first car

[kman10587]

sorry need to hijack this thing once again.

skyline both GT-R and non has always been nissan's flagship sportcar.
Orginal Skyline GT-R in 1969 was created for one reason only. to kill all european from JGTC, which it did.

the S20 engine from the R380 race car was put into the GT-R long before it reach Z432 in 1973, and as far as i know (plz correct me if this info is wrong) Fairladyz never went racing in JGTC until Z33.

I know the orginal skyline (non GT-R) was ment to be lux car and it was in the 50's and 60, (nice interior with walnut steering wheel wow~)

I personally don't think skyline is lux car, for me lux small car in the 90's don't exist. E30, E190 and AE92 has around the same comfort.

and as Skyline not being as lux as E30...plz don't tell me u consider E30 to be a lux car.....it small very very small...(and we are comparing R32 and E30 rite?around same production years R32 from 1989~1993, and E30 sorry don't know when it start not expert but i know it end at around 92) even the E36 is till small especailly the back sit. and as for the lux item...i don't see no digtal air con...the interior have black plastic panel on black leagther seat (personal i am thinking that is probably PVC)

PS:240Z&300ZX are great car, i just have to do a bit of information correcting, since the other guy don't know what he is talking about for skyline

First of all, thanks for sharing your point of view without flaming.

Secondly, I can see where you would get the idea that the Skyline was designed to be Nissan's sports car, but I'm gonna have to disagree. What a sports car really is is much more than what it can do at the track. Though the GT-R is Nissan's flagship performance car, it's not Nissan's flagship sports car.

As for the BMW E30, I didn't mean that it was a luxury car in the sense that it was actually luxurious, but when people see the BMW badge, that's the impression that they get. "Prestigious" would have been a better word. And that's the case with the Skyline. It's always been a notch above Nissan's other non-sports car models in terms of engineering, so it has that image of prestige among Japanese car enthusiasts.

As for the E30 it just happen that i was quoting from you but that was actually trying to answer Jim's argument.

i have read that this is the 300zx car that took the IMSA GTS championship but i think it is the same car that was entered into JGTC in 1994. im not positive though...i couldnt find any factual information.


The only valuable information i know and have read is that the 300zx competed in the LeMans races and did extremely well almost every year it was entered...even winning a couple times i believe.
