as standard:
Engine SOHC Inline-6
Displacement 2393 CC
Compression Ratio 9.0:1
Fuel System Hitachi Twin Side-Draft
Carburetors
Horsepower (SAE) 150 BHP @6,000 RPM
Torque 148 FT-Lbs @4,400 RPM
Curb Weight 2355 Lbs
Length 162.8 IN
Wheelbase 90.7 IN
0-60 MPH 7.8 Sec
so only 150 as standard, just done an insurance quote and its 1k. I think i might buy an absolute shitter and do it up

7.8 seconds to 60 is pretty damn good for an old car like that.
I'd imagine they're shit though, as older Jap stuff was.

Personally its a jp car and the skyline engine is an amazing bit of kit think
and I'm NOT liking all these v8 chevy engines in them 
Really nice looking cars I also would be very heappy with the 150hp engine.
I think for the age and 150bhp that the 0-60 is pretty decent
