Fuel Economy - I get about 500 km out of a tank but thats with pretty timid driving

Defects - What do you mean?

How hard do they go - Pretty bloody good stock my dad was amazed at the pulling power it has in the top gears. Plenty of torque which helps.

Are they reliable - I reackon they are, they are well bolted together mines done about 49,000 km's and there is only two squeakes in it. Then engine is really smooth and the gearbox is typical nissan.

What to look out for when buying one - Make sure the suspension isn't shagged, look for any accident repairs, get a compression test done, just the usual

How many kw's stock - They are 206kw stock and off the top of my head about 340 nm of torque that figure may be a bit high.

Go harder than a wrx - They do i've beat wrx's but alot of it is down the the driver.

Roomy inside - Yes the front seats are good i have a good amount of room in the drivers seat and i'm about 6'2, passenger side is also really nice and roomy. The back seats though forget about it, they are next to useless, but why would you want a full load of people in a nice car like that?

Are they hard to work on - Not really just standard skyline fair parts tend to be a bit more expensive as there aren't as many of them out there compared to the r32's and r33's but if you've modded a performance car before it's fairly simple.

What turbo they run stock - I can't remember off the top of my head at all just that they don't really like more than 12 - 14 psi as higher than that and they like to shit themselves.

Any other questions just ask i'm sure fellow owners will be able to help you out.
