    potential owner

    hey people

    i currently own a skyline non turbo thinking of changing to legnum twin turbo which is what i went to see originally when i bought my skyline. to be honest prefer a turbo`d car so again looking at legnums and have a few questions. any help would be useful.

    1. what can i expect to pay insurance wise. i`m 25 and paying around a grand a year now on a skyline non turbo.

    2. what sort of figures. 0-60. top speed. mpg or how far on a tankfull. any others would also be helpful.

    3. i`ve heard manuals are hard to come by so is there any common problems with the tiptronic boxes and do they sap a lot of power.

    4. are parts easily available, tuning wise and general replacement.

    Insurace is not to bad since it appears to be in the less desirable range ( stolen and chavs)
    0-60ish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_xeN...e=channel_page
    fuel is 15-25mpg on average I have 110 through to 300mile from a tank average for me is 200 not light on the throttle
    power loss is greater through auto but that one do take a read
    parts loads getting broke her mitsi will also pull ya pants down and there is the likes on camskill etc
    No longer a VR4 owner
