I’ll post a video later this week... But that’s such a fun car! Tons of rear grip, very predictable when the tail goes out, not at all snap oversteery like so many complain about. Super enjoyable! I’ll buy more haha

This one goes to Pennsylvania!

What year model?

Going off the wheels that’s likely a rev2 chassis with the longer rear toe links to make it more predictable.

Jan ‘92 build date is when they changed it.

This one is quite nice with 90.000 miles and sold for $8200 shipping to the US included. Add an extra $600 or so for it to be fully imported into the country.

well there you go. I still think the snapoversteer is overstated.. but I have a ‘90 and with the original wheels it’s a bit of a handful in the wet.
Some R32 GT-R and GTST wheels fixed that though.

Cool, thanks man. I wanna keep this in mind, I plan on importing a R-33 GTR or Supra next year!

R33 GT-R aren’t until 2020... Mk4 Supra are mostly from 2019...

I also have a 90 on original wheels that’s a handful in the wet. But it’s not too snappy. Just very mid engined and not very grippy. I’ve been blaming the tires.

you’re not going fast enough ;)

Also how hard is it to find decent tires in that size? that’s the real reason I upgraded to the Skyline wheels. Way more options.

Dunno. Never tried. On the tires it had when I got it. I’m not a big tire dude.
