I own a bridgeport RX4 coupe and an R31 GTSX . The skyline is a great cruiser for everyday travel.Its even got a child seat in the back.Economical and goes pretty hard(r32 silver top engine).The RX4 is brutal!!!! Heaps of grunt from the Weber fed 13b(turbos go so much harder too!) But the best thing is the sound.Love it or hate it every one knows you are coming and boy do they look.(Coppers too!).
Fuel economy is shithouse(advise getting 2nd job) especially when you realise that we are talking about 12A(1200cc) and 13B(1300cc) motors.To make good power ie;200 rwk from a rotary costs a lot less than a 6cyl.Check out how fast they go at the drags.Sub 7 sec passes in O.Z!!!!! Some bent 8 cars spent 30 - 40 thou to run 10sec 1/4 times.10sec eng packages for rotarys from about 6 - 10 grand.And still streetable with programmable engine management.Thats why there are so many cars on the track!
The price of a good car is still affordable, remembering most are 30 + years old(unless you have lots of dough to buy late model RX7's).Parts are available for most but more and more expensive all the time.(check ebay.)RX3 is the most popular and buying one is an investment you won't loose from.The price of import skylines has fallen pretty hard lately,old rotary cars have increased.
A lot of people(Simple minded neanderthal types)write off rotary cars because they have never driven one or have had their ego dented by one in a traffic light drag.Typical Holden or Ford V8 fans call them by heaps of names "chook cookers" "beer kegs" and just "jap crap".I could go on forever but you have probably already stopped reading by now anyhow.
By the way, my R31 GTSX is up for sale!!! Not the RX4though.Love the Skyline but need the dough for a new bussiness.If interested call me on 0405 202 395.Wazza.
