i have been lucky enough to be the 1st Queenslander to own a St215W Caldina. Also have the rare Dark Blue colour.
From a family that has owned serveral skylines,starlet gt's and the odd corona, we have been very impressed overall with the caldina. I love the stupid looks you get from beaten victims as they try to work out what the car is. Although currently it is basically stock as a rock, the car is quite quick but a manual version would be an outright killer (had to buy an auto as wife has auto licence). Traction and stability controls are a pain in the backside as they cannot be turned off inside the car. Also the Factory HID are a painfull to reinstall after compliance (they replace them with crap 55w bulbs) as the whole front bar needs to be removed to access two clips that hold the headlights to the chassis. The HID amplifiers hide in the base of the headlight. Fuel economy at 110k/h is also terrible.
Overall the package is good, but more suited for a city run than highway use. I hope to take it to Willowbank shortly to test the standard 1/4 time, from what i have heard they usually run a 13.8, all i know that from 110 to 180 the car is very quick.
If you want more pics let me know....
