mate c'mon
how many 1200's do you see floating around, compared to other models, compared to anything, they are just a kick arse little car, GO THE UTE, ahem sorry, rwd, reasonable stock power, and great for little people like me!
ty

1200's have to be one of the funkiest cars around. i mean what other car can u slap a turbo on the side of a stock motor an pump 15psi into it there cool (see pic inside left)

I like mine because it's really good on gas, it's fun to drive, and hardly anyone else has one.

smal point of order. the GTR was a Nissan. These models (C10 and C110) came after the Prince/Nissan merger. S54 and updated S57 were the last Prince Skylines.

Quote:Ah, but they are not better ... that presumes some kind of objective standard. The 1200 is really just a total package that's nice.

Objectively we can say the 1000 is lighter, the 1600 handles better, the B210 gets better fuel economy, etc. But drive a B110 hard, and you'll come to understand why we like them. If you drive a 1200 like a granny you might not notice its good points.

actually one the nicest 1200 i've ever driven was a low mileage, bone stock 2dr sedan

harry, the pgc10 was badged as a Nissan, but was developed by PMC prior to, during and after the merger

you'll find the development and styling of all models of Skyline continued to be done by a seperate design team (basically Prince) after the merger.

The point is they are Nissans. They were released by Nissan after acquiring Prince, and were badged Nissan - they're Nissans!

You even have to ask ?

It's easy......

Ours are great .
Theirs are crap .

Ah... If only everything was so simple .

I'd have to say a pro is that it's a rare car.
Its being rare also makes it a con.
I will assume that a 510 has more interchangable parts with other cars than a 1200.
I like the fact that you can't just open a catalog and find anything you want.
It's a challenge. You have to research. You have to go to the junkyards with a tape measure. You have to understand why speed parts, easily available for other cars, work and how are you going to adapt it to work on a 1200.
