So yeah I think of old GT-R as a RWD application, I can't remember a single one leaving as a AWD if it drove straight like a car should



In my mind, this isn't a skyline vs 240sx debate. To me they are almost the same car. I don't really care what you call it, one is just heavier. Instead, after experiencing so many SMH skylines, my knee jerk reaction is that most of them are beaten to death, even by 2008 they were all torn up, needed massive work. When compared to a car like an Original 97 automatic 240sx... the 240 wins simply in the "get in and go daily drive the antique without having to work on it and source expensive parts and time" department, which to me (all I care about is reliability and daily drivers atm) is everything.
