Definately MADAZ ... so glad i went through the saga to get it here.
Think of it this way, its cheap to run register and insure ($480) yet nearly the same power output as my r34 ...
Petrol being nearly 2 bucks a litre i have noticed that tha ass is dropping out of the skyline market... a worrying sign fo all
I have seen 34's going for 20k... and not auto's.
This Caldina should hold its value well - recaro interior twin LSD's and much more all factory.
11 months 160 emails plenty of $ and lots of help along the way my car is here in SA, complied - registered and a daily driver.
Only one here in Australia so far that is on the road.
GT FOUR N SERIES CALDINA 2003 model 200 +kw awd wagon.
Its nice to have something different..
24/3 Car is now in Australia, went to brisbane then it was mean to go to Sydney but I have actually seen it because they sent it here to SA accidentally. It needs compliance in sydney.
Needless to say it is better than I expected... one awesome car with lots of goodies on it.
Bring on compliance then send it back.. I need it! this journey to find one and get it here started 8 months ago.
As an 3 time skyline owner I know you ppl out there wont miss me when I am around town.
this car really sticks out in a crowd.
Took some more pics will post them later, as I wen to the transport depot to have a quick look before they sent it back to sydney last week....t wasnt mean to come to adelaide just yet.
Needs compliance.
Probably what i havent mentioned is tht is has TRD boost contoller, aftermarket pod, trd suspension HKS exhuast and a few other go fast bits, be interesting to see how she goes.
Already spoken to shaun at boostworx, he knows its coming.
Can you believe that the Caldina uses 9.0 litres per 100klm now the 33 or 34 skyline is around 14 per 100kms!
Cheaper to run register and insure but still packs a punch.
Why did i choose this over a legnum?
Legnum is a v6 twin turbo with about 170kw and an outdated galant look and feel.
Legnums are less powerfull, more expensive to run register and insure.
And no one else has an N Series Caldina... dare to be different i guess.
Due here in 4 weeks then 4 weeks for compliance etc, its cool they have a stock Caldina with all the parts they need to get it through, and it also has all the stock parts in the car anyway.
