Winter Driving A Skyline?

[NismoS-tune]

i've driven worse with summer tires in winter. Can't say I won't be doing something similar again any time soon

[Spencer87]

I originally wanted to winterdrive my gtst but in the end I decided it wasn't going to be worth it. Id rather drive it 6-8 months a year for 10 years then all year for 3 years.

i drove my GTR daily in NB all winter, with toyo proxes4's lol it was more then fine, and nobody gets salt or snow like the maritimes so quit complaining

[Nismo_line]

His car already rusts from all the salt water in the air lol.

i donno why anyone wouldnt drive it in the winter.... its a great winter car for anyone with a second vehical!!! i drove it past 2 winters and its amazing! i had a 2010 WRX and it wasnt as good as the skyline in the winter... highly suggest driving it as a winter car....

There are people who have skylines for their collector status and want to keep them in good shape for a long time, and those who just want a high powered cheap dd vehicle. There in lies the big difference between who will and who will not drive it during the winter.

I'm not saying either are necessarily good or bad, to each their own.

I agree greatly with this, to each their own.

However we can share with those "collector status" cars how much fun it is to winter drive them right ?

In all seriousness I would not try it if you want to collect or preserve your car. Even then like you mentioned an undercoat and fresh set of snow tires are a must. I don't carry and extra weight however for weight and safety I carry a full size spare (GTR rim + All season tire) in the trunk.

Is an undercoat even going to solve you problems? Your suspension and under the panels will be attacked. I'm gonna drive my new GT-R all winter long because I only drive a few times a month.

EDIT

Does anyone know what size winters to put on the stock GT-R? Will 16 inch steel nissan rims work?

omg!!! snow on the ground in whistler! went for a drive in the ski lots last night, SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!

[NismoS-tune]

I happen to have a near new set of winter tires that are GTR size. They came off a fellow GTRcer's car but wouldn't fit on my 240 lol. They are Marangoni, badass set. Search em up! If you're interested I can have them shipped via greyhound, guessing less than $150 to BC. PM for price.

i rather drive my 96 dodge caravan then risk anything happening to my GTR haha
