[doc] Re: Max Power and Q cars

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

As a part time business i import cars from Japan.

did have a skyline GTS (not the GTS-4 though)

Absolutely great reliable cars, parts are no problem from main 
dealers, even though the R32 was never available in the Uk.

GTS-4 is a bit different to gtr, gts-4 2 litre single turbo, gtr 2.5 
twin turbo!!!.

Incidentally was looking to bring over an RX7, but you have to be 
damn careful with one of these (engine rebuild at approx 60K miles)

Twin turbos, high bhp  and revvy. The engine is physically pretty big 
and complex, and the cc ratings cannot really compare with a 'normal 
engine'
The nearest quoted equivalent is 2.4-2.6 litres.

another one i fancied was an MG RV8 4.0 litre, pretty rare over here 
particularly anything not green!

Definately recommend a skyline for anyone wanting something different.

Regards

Steve
