Winter Driving A Skyline?

[n0xid]

So much fun.

is it possible to use a RWD skyline on winter as long it has winter tires?

[n0xid]

Doing just fine myself with studded winters. Rear ends a bit light so I threw some sandbags in the car and no issues with grip anymore. But still kicks out when I want to

RWD vehicles seriously aren't bad to drive in the winter at all. Winter tires and maybe some weight in the back (sandbags etc.) and away you go. Far more fun if you ask me

If you gotta ask such a question, you shouldn't be doing it with the lack of skill.

I have some newer michelin X-ice (crap tires when you're used to blizzaks) on my 240 and it's almost pointless to drive in winter around here it's so icy. The open diff doesnt' help either but I can't find a 1.5way diff for it... Might throw in some sand bags since it weights 2700 pounds lol. The wife is using the Murano so I have no choice but to use my beater.

When I bought/picked up my GTR in Calgary last December, I drove back to Winnipeg in the snow.... Not having the G-sensor and bald 255's on the back sure made for some sketchy "fun" when the boost came on!

No probs. Mind you, Skylines don't like winter, what with salt on the roads, etc. They'll rust out quickly. But to each their own! Just take 'er easy, and you shouldn't have any problems

my gtr drives great, i got a set of 18's and blizzaks, a hks torque splitter and installed a oilpan heated patch. but can anyone help me with my hicas and awd? when i first start it up in the morning, the hicas and 4wd light stays on. and the awd does not work when the 4wd light is on, as for the hicas, i cant conferm. everything turns back to normal after a few hour of driving. does this happen because of some of the parts from the hicas and awd are too cold to function? and if so is there anything i can do to prevent this? ie, adding a some more heat patch's to the parts and pluging them in at night? thank you for your time

i love driving my gtr in the snow handles great and grabs traction. just give it a good wash every once and a while to get rid of all the salt.

Just put the funky winter tires on the Skyline.

Make sure you wipe inside the gas cover after you wash it...
