This DR30-generation Nissan Skyline RS-X Turbo is a remarkably well-preserved example of the modern classic performance coupe, offered with just two owners from new and in impressive, largely unmodified condition. Under the bonnet sits the turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-litre ‘FJ20’ DOHC inline-four, producing around 202bhp, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The odometer shows 87,693 Kms from new, which is supported by a comprehensive Japanese maintenance history. The seller states that this Japan-delivered example was owned from new by a single family until it was privately imported and registered in Brisbane, Australia in January 2022. Colloquially known as the ‘Tekkamen’ or ‘Iron Mask’, the DR30-generation Skyline RS-X Turbo was the most powerful variant of the model produced at the time, even competing in the Australian Touring Car Championship during the mid-1980s, where it won the 1986 Australian Manufacturers Championship. This example is finished in a handsome shade of white with black ‘4-valve DOHC RS-Turbo Intercooler’ side decals, over a black and red cloth-trimmed interior punctuated by silver trim. It now rides on a set of aftermarket 15-inch Watanabe-style alloy wheels, finished in satin black and shod with Sailun Atrezzo R01 Sport semi-slick tyres. The factory specification includes dashboard-controlled Puretron-RMII roof and MXI-C rear parcel shelf air purifiers, an air adjustable driver’s seat, variable speed windscreen wipers, electrically adjustable door mirrors, cruise control, headlamp washers, electric windows, air conditioning, a cassette stereo, digital clock, and electrically adjustable dampers. This Skyline RS-X Turbo now features upgraded Blitz coilover suspension, a stainless-steel rear exhaust muffler, and a more modern CD player mounted in the glove box. The car will be accompanied by its original wheels with all four Skyline centre caps, a spare wheel, two keys, a locking wheel nut key, coilover adjustment wrenches, and a full service history and log book. The seller is not aware of any bodywork damage. The white paintwork is reported to be in excellent condition given the car’s age, though the seller notes that the bonnet and front lip have been resprayed due to stone chips, and a rear ducktail spoiler was removed so the boot was also resprayed, along with the rear bumper. There are also tiny blemishes visible on the door mirror covers. Stepping inside, the cabin is presented in excellent order. The seller notes a 3mm burn mark on the driver’s door. There are also blemishes on the instrument cluster dashboard trim, slight wear around the gear gaiter, and slight signs of use on the seats. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults, and they state that there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. This Skyline’s most recent maintenance was carried out at around 84,000 Kms by Southside Dyno & Performance, which consisted of all new fluids and filters including engine and gearbox oil, and differential fluid. This DR30-generation Nissan Skyline RS-X Turbo is a remarkably well-preserved example of the marque’s potent modern classic performance coupe, offered with only two owners from new, and in impressive, largely unmodified condition. Presented in a handsome colour scheme, with iconic boxy 1980s styling, and a lauded ‘FJ20’ turbocharged inline-four coupled to an engaging manual gearbox, it would make a superb addition to any collection of Japanese performance heroes, and fantastic companion for weekend drives and car show visits alike.
