old school skyline? - Drifting forum

DAVEW · 19-05-2009, 16:26

looking for a 2 door old skool skyline if you ever come across them.

Tony240Z · 19-05-2009, 19:12

Um, what does "old school" mean in your book?

There are many Skyline coupe variants, including:

C10 Hakosuka

C110 Kenmeri

C210 Japan (I know this one's a saloon, couldn't find a better picture)

R30 pre-facelift

R30 post-facelift Tekamen

R31

And then there's the R32.

Which one is it?

Matt. · 19-05-2009, 19:53

there all cool as but why does that r32 above look sooooo much hotter than our r32's???

jason2800 · 19-05-2009, 19:58

i see no R32?

Because its an R31?

Tony240Z · 19-05-2009, 20:11

R30s look hotter than R31s IMO, but that's down to personal preference. R30 Turbo also has one of my favourite engines, the FJ20ET, which is one of the most overlooked performance engines of all time. These cars are great in terms of value for money, and you can still get mint, cherished examples from Japan. There's lots of them in the japaneseusedcars.com dealer section.

c10 gtr is the daddy

But there not cheap at around £45k and a decent one will not be found easily at auction...

Tony240Z · 19-05-2009, 20:57

L-series powered C10s are a much better choice, since there are lots of aftermarket parts available for them, they're much cheaper and they can be much faster (at least in a straight line) than original GT-Rs with the 2 litre S20 engine.

DeanR33 · 20-05-2009, 00:34

C10 or R30 would be nice, but I doubt if ther's gonna be any for sale here.

Autospecs · 20-05-2009, 02:33

Oh my God, that is gorgeous!

funkyboogalooo · 01-06-2009, 17:53

That R31 is absolutely awesome. What would something like that cost?

Bladerider · 01-06-2009, 22:13

LOL

Dave will be after a KPGC10 for about 10k !!!

FWD_Kid · 03-06-2009, 15:04

Id say even these days the R32 has hit the old skool age, hasnt it?

Its got the shape, which is looking very dated these days even by R32 standards.

Shame we dont see sub R32's ie R31's and R30's in the UK and am I right in saying the GTR badge went walk-abouts for quite sometime and only returned with the R32?

Tony240Z · 03-06-2009, 15:17

That's right. The GT-R badge disappeared for a while, after the fuel crisis killed the KPGC110.

dattypete · 30-07-2009, 16:34

I'm looking for a nice c110 coupe! Anyone??? R30 turbo is rocking! I've had 4 c110 saloons! Erm and lots of rust................... lol

Autospecs · 31-07-2009, 00:59

dattypete there were half a dozen in yesterdays auction and some in tomorrow's auction - there are still a few around

Ade B · 31-07-2009, 01:12

Never understood why the old Skylines aren't more popular, they can look so cool.

Well, apart from the likes of that R31 above which isn't far off being a Bluebird coupe
