Skyline 350GT

The Nissan Skyline 350GT is a rear-wheel-drive sedan built around a 3.5-litre V6 engine, sitting in a segment that has very few direct competitors in Pakistan. This is not a daily commuter pick — it is aimed at enthusiasts who want a larger-displacement naturally aspirated petrol car with a smooth automatic gearbox. In city traffic, expect fuel consumption in the range of 6-8 km/l given the engine size, so running costs are noticeably higher than mainstream sedans.

Being a grey import, the 350GT presents real challenges in Pakistan. Parts are not stocked locally and typically need to be sourced from Japan or through specialist importers, which adds cost and waiting time. Local mechanics outside major cities like Karachi and Lahore will have limited familiarity with the platform. At this age, key items to inspect include the automatic transmission condition, cooling system, suspension bushings, and any oil seepage from the V6. Resale is slow and price-sensitive since the buyer pool is narrow.
