ichitaka05 · 08-14-2011, 12:27 AM

^1977, so 260Z (74 or some country & 78 for other) or 280Z (75~78)

They're one of the famous car

But I thought you gonna go w this car instead '77 Nissan Skyline GT-R

Fairlady was appropriately named in Japan. She's very pretty. I don't know much about Skylines older than R32s (basically only R32 and newer are imported used to Canada).

1992. tough choice... but i'm settled on this (using top gear coolness criteria)

1989, but a 1990 Model Year.

Does this count? I know it didn't start production in 1993 but yeah, I'd say this.

This, yes. I'm a 1993 too, and if I had a ton of money laying around I think I'd buy an NSX. There is something about it that I really like
