If you're worried about the cost to turbo an e36 m3, then you should probably steer clear of a skyline. It'll cost you at least $30,000 (dunno what that converts to in Canadian money) to get a skyline in good condition, probably more. Yeah, the skyline will perform better and be faster than an e36 m3, but its gonna cost you a lot more money just to buy one, not to mention if something breaks down the parts are going to be expensive and so is the labor. Of course the same is true for the m3, but your initial cost will only be about $15,000, give or take a few grand for a well maintained e36 m3. In short, I would go with the m3
