R31 (1985 to 1990)

This market covers the Nissan Skyline R31, produced between 1985 and 1990 as a key transitional generation that introduced the RB-series inline-six engines which would later power the legendary GT-R models. Available in sedan, coupe, and wagon body styles with rear-wheel drive and select all-wheel-drive variants, the R31 combined improved chassis refinement with modern turbocharged performance, particularly in GTS and GTS-R forms. The R31 also played an important role in motorsport and marked the beginning of the Skyline’s modern performance era, bridging the gap between earlier Skylines and the breakthrough R32 GT-R. Values in the R31 market are driven by engine specification, transmission, originality, condition, and rarity, with turbocharged and manual examples commanding the strongest demand. As an early RB-powered Skyline with growing historical significance and declining supply of clean examples, the R31 has seen increasing collector interest and steady appreciation.
