Still, they have to be admired/pitied for bringing the world a car called a "Cedric"!

A "Cedric"? Whoever thought that one up should be going for a swim wearing concrete boots!

Are you winding me up? Maybe it has a meaning (relevant) somewhwere else

It always makes me smile when a conversation about Nissan leads to Skylines :D

Skylines (in one form or another...including a Pick-up!) have been around since ...1955 and they were made by a Japanese firm called 'Prince' who were bought out by Nissan/Datsun in about 1965-67 they inturn used the 6 Cyl engine originally developed by Prince ...and the rest I think we all know...

So the next time some chav/performance car wally raves on about Skylines, be nice to him and complement him on his interest in Old/Classic cars

[jaxx]

skyline 2000 GT-R

looks like a mk2 escort!

[jaxx]

the skyline r30 and r31 were also successful race cars.. in fact what gave the car its demolishing history

[Bibbs]

At least with Honda and Toyotas you can see where the range joins and follow the progression through the models, with Nissan it seems to be a case of, "Right, we've done a shopping hatch - who fancies a shot at a racer?" There's no coherence.

Yeah ..

Honda - CTR , S2000 & NSX .. and then the Jazz ..

Toyota .. oh, there are no performance models anymore .. you have the Yaris and Aygo.

It's the Japanese fashion at the moment that the sports car is dead (2jz, rb26, hell even the RX7's '13 lump has gone due to emissions).

Nissa have tried to carry on with the 350z .. but it's half Renault ..

[Twincam.GTi]

jaxx :

Nice picture Now thats a Skyline (1973 I think?)

To me that was the best looking version ever (those outsize back wheels with fender/arch flares is absolutely beautiful)

You can stick those modern Blandlines that are about today

[kimi]

that picture brings back memories of one of the 1st cars me and mark

had,it looks alot like the datsun 100A F11,

ok i know its different but the lines of a old datsun are very simular.

ours was silver with chrome bumpers too :D

but i'm sorry i think the R34GTR is pure sex

[Razor]

just be done with it and buy the best coupe on the market today and looks gorgeous its gotta be the NISMO 350z - S Tune

[LORD_ED]

its a plastic car though same as the rx8 plastic haevy boring cars

Toyota Sports cars ...theres still the Celica and MR2 :)

New Nissans are dreadful cars. I had a new 2003 Micra which rattled lots and had suspension that bottomed out on uneven roads, bits of interior used to randomly fall off, it was recalled three times in 6 months for really stupid things like wiring looms rubbing on starter motor, steering wheels coming loose, seats not securing! The mechanism that operates the tilt on the front seat always breaks, Nissan know about it but refused to acknowledge it was crap. My dealer said since the Renault merger they have had so many complaints its unbelievable and they couldnt cope. Had three Almera loan cars which were amazingly awful to drive and on one of them the door card fell off when I closed the door! Stick with your Toyotas....

BTW, off topic but a mate has just been servicing a 52 plate MX5 with one owner and just 10,000 miles. Underneath all the suspension was really heavily rusted and under the bonnet every nut/bolt and bracket etc was totally rusted brown and was starting to eat into seams and the like. We were shocked at its condition and even my wifes 98 Skoda van which gets abused was in far better condition! The front suspension arms in our opinion will need replacing in 2 years because of rot.

I was being serious ;)

Sports does not always mean 'fast'!

Sports car is a style/type of car.

Remember cars like the MGB, Spitfire, TR7 etc, they are not fast but they are concidered to be sports cars.

Although I agree some sports cars (the ultra expensive) are Fast and thus conceidered a performance car (and sometimes so exotic to be called a 'Super Car') as well.
