Check Out How Unbelievably Shiny This 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R Is
Check Out How Unbelievably Shiny This 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R Is-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:48

Every day, I come into the Jalopnik office, open my laptop and blog the blogs. I also have a separate window always open and one eye trained on my TweetDeck, which is how I saw this lovely red 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R pop up on . I think its shininess is what first caught my attention.

I mean, just look at it! Glossy and in that shade of perfect firetruck red that’ll surely alert every cop within a 30-mile radius. Right-hand drive, too. It honestly looks like the perfect Skyline.

But wait up, what’s this? An aftermarket tailpipe?

And aftermarket wheels?

I read the listing most closely. “Modified example”? Oh, no. The mods are as follows:

GReddy T78-33D turbo kitGReddy intercooler and oil cooler kitGReddy Type R blow-off valve with a recirculation kitStainless manifold and external dump wastegateBlitz twin intake filter kit with upgraded mass air flow sensorsBlitz LM radiatorHKS Super Dragger exhaustHKS boost controllerMulti-plate high-performance clutch

PLUS a carbon fiber front spoiler and “rear wing extension.”

I felt my heart sink. The car is too modified for my own tastes. Let me be clear, I’m not against modified Skylines. I just wouldn’t want someone else’s modified Skyline.

Maybe somebody else out there—someone braver, no doubt—will want this red Skyline. Maybe that someone is you. At the time of this writing, the current bid is up to $2,500. You can do it! Buy it and tell me if it’s actually this shiny in person.

Do me one favor though: Change those wheels.

I highly recommend not messing with the seller of today’s G37, since it looks like he has an open gun case on the seat in one of the pics in his ad. That doesn’t mean we still can’t check out its price and see if he’s a straight shooter. Here’s...

Named for one of the best race courses in the world, today’s Yamaha is in fact not all that much of a performer. It’s still interesting, and likely fun, but is its price? When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie, that’s… Evora. There was a good...

The is the long-roofed wagon version of the Regal sedan, which makes it the first Buick wagon since the ’96 Roadmaster. You can’t order it with wood paneling, but the TourX is a damn decent comeback of the classic American family car. It’s the American competitor to the the likes...
