Skylines aren't any more expensive to maintain then any other sports car. People who have modded them may disagree, but mod any car and it will be more expensive no matter what car you have. In stock form, the Skyline is cheap to run for a sports car. 11L/100kms with regular squirts of boost is achievable. Do your 5,000km oil changes and regular maintenance and you will be fine. The Nissan RB series engines are bullet proof and are made to take a lot more power and abuse.

Skylines are the best bang for your buck on the market. The equipment the cars have standard are better than its rivals aswell for the price.

I see what's happened here..

Your mates have obviously confused the word TURBO with the word ROTARY.

I owned one as well, had mates who had them as well are theres were not real reliable, on top of that the one i bought had been rebuilt by a company with a less than average reputation so i figured i would thrash the crap out if it to get my moneys worth before a rebuild, had if for 12 months, saw 10000rpm many times even took it to easter nats but no matter how hard i thrashed it the sucker wouldnt die, bought my skyline, within 3 months the turbo is screwed.

Would still rather the skyline for reliabillity tho, in fact it was a choice between a s4/5 rx7 or the 33.....

At the end of the day i know the owners of this car for the last 4 years and apart from general servicing it has never missed a beat.
