This DR30-generation Nissan Skyline RS-X Turbo is a generally well-preserved example of the rare and desirable modern classic Japanese performance coupe, which benefits from a recent full respray. Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 2.0-litre ‘FJ20ET’ DOHC inline-four, delivering around 151kW to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This example was imported into Australia in September 2020, and has now been with the seller for three years. The odometer shows 136,674 Kms from new. The DR30-era Skyline RS-X Turbo was colloquially known as the Tekkamen or ‘Iron Mask’ due to its redesigned front end, featuring slimmer headlights, and a sloped bonnet with two narrow slits instead of a conventional grille. This example is finished in a refined shade of silver with a black lower section and gold ‘4 Valve DOHC RS-Turbo’ side decals, over a black cloth-trimmed interior, featuring red striped ‘Moquette’ inserts on the seats and door cards, as well as silver trim accents. It rides on a set of aftermarket 15-inch cross-spoke alloy wheels with ‘GET’ centre caps and polished lips, shod in Onyx NY-801 tyres. Equipment includes electrically adjustable door mirrors, electric windows, and air conditioning. This Skyline RS-X Turbo has been upgraded with a black leather-trimmed dished Momo steering wheel, Kenwood door speakers, Kenwood parcel shelf speakers, white Skyline-branded lace seat covers, an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator, and aftermarket adjustable coilover suspension. The car comes with some older Japanese service history documents, the import approval documents, and maintenance invoices from the seller’s ownership. Please note: the numberplate ‘13546 J’ shown on the car is not included in the sale. It will revert to an appropriate, age-related numberplate in the event of a successful auction. The seller notes previous minor dents and scratches, which were all repaired before the car was professionally resprayed in 2023. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: various interior tears and areas of sun bleached discolouration. The car’s last REGO test was conducted in 2022, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. This Skyline’s most recent maintenance was carried out in 2022 at around 135,000 Kms by the seller, which consisted of an engine oil change. All the fluids were changed in 2020, alongside the brakes being rebuilt with all new discs and pads, the brake master cylinder rebuilt, the fuel tank cleaned and restored, the injectors cleaned, and all new lines and filters installed. Other notable maintenance includes all the drive belts being replaced, a new alternator fitted, and the engine tappet gaskets replaced. This DR30-generation Nissan Skyline RS-X Turbo is a smart and highly usable example of the rare and sought-after modern classic Japanese performance coupe, which benefits from a recent full respray. Presented with a handsome two-tone colour scheme, unapologetically boxy styling, and a lively turbocharged DOHC inline-four engine, it would make a solid addition to any assembly of desirable Japanese performance cars, and an enjoyable companion for retro daily driving, weekend fun, and visits to classic car shows alike.
