just been looking through ebay, i want a new (2nd hand) car. been thinking of skylines for a while. probably a terrible idea but i love them.
anyway, saw one (not brilliant) example, it said this
quote:
things that jump out as upgrades are a huge single turbo apexi turbo conversion (looked on the net and seen one for 6000 dollars!, very rare) this helps reduce the turbo lag the original twin turbos create
I thought the same as you regarding the turbo situation... as for Skylines - not my cup of tea, but my wee bro is into Jap-Rockets and he loves them!
yeah, they're weird, not the prettiest, and the interiors are pretty dreary, but i think thats somehow the appeal.
wouldn't be til next year anyway, but just like to go looking now and then 
has your bro got one? if he's got/had one then that sounds like a +1 to me.
if like me, he just likes them then we could both be wrong
small turbos spin up faster, that's why twin turbos are popular. Two smaller turbos provide the same boost as 1 big one but their lower inertia allows them to spool up faster.
There are equal sized twins (same size - e.g. one per bank of a V6) and sequential twins (different size, small one for quick spin up and then bigger
unit takes over at higher revs).
But if you're seeking big horsepower rip them both out and fit a big single. But also get more lag and a smaller powerband higher up the rev
range.

the single turbo conversion was for huge boost at high power
but the smaller twin turbo setup works well (low lag) and is still capable of producing more than enough power for the road 600bhp+

very dear to insure.group 20. very very expensive for parts.eg brakes,
why not go for impreza? i have had 2 and although they aint great on juice they were very reasonable to run,very quick and in my experience 100%
reliable and trouble free
never really been overly taken by imprezas for some reason. they sound nice, but not sure about the look of them.
nice idea though. might be worth a look into.
did a quote with elephant insurance. about £900 for me on a skyline, which is what norwich union wanted for me on my bmw 328 (i went with elephant for
£400, 3 years ago) so not as bad as i'd expected. i thought about £1500.
i'm sure there better places too insure with. adrian flux etc perhaps
This is my son's car its fantastic
now painted 2
yeah, i remembered someones son had one. it looks brilliant
can't afford a r34 though
