Check Out How Unbelievably Shiny This 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R Is
Check Out How Unbelievably Shiny This 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R Is-May 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.

Great creative expression frequently derives from the exposé of contradiction- dogs playing poker, William Shatner, Shaq movies, etc. appreciates a creative clash of opposites, and today's blown Bimmer is about as contradictory as they come. In mathematics and physics, a vector is described as being a quantity having both direction...

If you'd loved the classic VW Type 1, but always considered them too big, too lacking in suicide doors and too over-powered, then has a Subie that'll have you doing 360s. It may represent the height of irony that the the first car built by Fuji Heavy Industries would be...
