I remember un 2005 when skylines were rare. The first Skyline I saw was a 1989 R32 GTR. I saw it at the QSR meet in quebec at the time. In those days, people who bought those were real enthusiasts who knew about the history of the car. I spoke to the guy and he said he imported it himself, it took 6 months to get here, and he really appreciated his car. He drove it in the summer only and took really good care of it. You could tell he really liked his car and was really passionnate about it.
Now that these cars are getting really accessible, all the JDM yO ! punks have one. Jdm is not what it used to be. Now every kid qith 12k can buy a skyline, beat it to trash and re sell it for the same price !
