Are you sure?!
You should take a look at this
forum. More info about the skyli.... Supra then you would ever need.
So it's not about the skyline. I am on the other side of the fence. Toyota Supra will be the path for me.
The 4th generation skyline is my favorite style out of the bunch. The 2009 gt-r is looking pretty nice, with the exception of the price tag! Ouch. Premium is $71,900. Can't wait to see it sized up against the other super cars out there. Have you gone price hunting yet for a 96? Curious of what prices your seeing.
Don't know much about the upkeep or reliability on those things, but I do have a friend who is running a twin turbo gt3000 pushing some crazy numbers. A lot of upkeep and money spent in broken parts. Seems the stock transmission doesn't like 400+ hp(last run if I remember right was 10.9 1/4 mile - clutch gone on the drive home if I remember correctly)

Luckily there is a store that specializes in the "Exotic" cars not to far from our little old town of Deming, NM. You may want to seek out a local company that can work on a skyline, unless you are the gun-ho diy type. Although my friend still takes his car there even though he knows is way around a shop (very well I might add).
Any how, here are some links.

2009 Nissan GT-R

Hope you have seen the Skyline in Too Fast and Too Furious? Pretty *drool*.
