LOL I got a leather set for mine - genuine SIII GTR's - had them restored and re-dyed/coloured etc and never fitted them. Got another set of velour GTR one and put then in and to this day can't make up my mind which ones to sell!!! prob never will...

I had factory leather in my S3 GTR. Was so nice!

Skylines are not great P plater cars.

Go a Honda. Something type R or S2000 or Clio RS or MX5 (or MX5 turbo if power/weight is your thing, but who looks under a MX5 anyway).

Way more fun to be had there.

you also went there.. I did too, it's a sad reality

As a P plater you want something that:

- Is cheap to insure

- Handles and stops better than it goes

- Gets the girls/guys

An N/A Skyline will struggle with the first and second points, third point YMMV. Unless you get an R31, then you'll be pimping.

I'll vote Honda DC2R Integra, Stock for stock, I dare say no GTS-T/GT-T would beat them around a track. good all-rounder with great build quality. even the Vti-r's are good buys for p's both will slap skylines 0-100. but they also come with a big insurance premium......Have you thought about a $3000 toyota corolla?

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
