just buy it. my dad had a mustang as well and he didnt want me to buy a skyline. THe skyline is fast then the mustang, hence the reason why he doesnt want you to buy one.

i bought my car when my dad was away, now he love it. (except it is fast then his mustang). He really shouldnt have a say it is your car and you will be driving it everyday not him.

i think in this day an age... i personally would buy something other than a skyline. not to discourage you, but it really depends on what you want to do with it? track? cruise? drift? show? etc... from there you can decide.

my younger brother just bought his first car... cost the same as my skyline (back 4 years ago) - but is 8 years younger, more comfortable, effortless through the twisties, bucket seats, etc etc, ohh that's factory standard.. needless to say, i was the one that chose it for him, and i am madly jealous.

Totally agree with Eug. Given my time again I must say I'd go with something other than a skyline. Of course, the old saying rings true. "Hindsight's a bitch".

Given their age and history I'd be happy to steer clear of anything older than a 34 these days.

    • You all are absolute legends! Thank you for helping me put this into context with your comparisons!
    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
