It’s got only 46,103km on the clock
There's a premium to pay for unmodified, classic Japanese performance cars. We just didn't realize it'd be this kind of premium, because this R33 Nissan Skyline recently sold for $235,200 (P11.8 million).The rather fetching purple R33

We’d like to see these turned into posters
Skylines didn't always scream performance. The MX-5 wasn't always so angry. The Suzuki Jimny wasn't always so big (lol). And the Subaru Impreza? It didn't always look like-well okay, this one always did look like it

It really has changed a lot since it last wore the GT-R badge
Believe it or not, the Skyline has continued to evolve over the years. Once known as the legendary Godzilla of the Nissan stable during the years it wore the GT-R badge, the Skyline has now transformed into a comfortable, tech-loaded
It won MVP at the ’96 Tokyo Auto Salon
The R33 Skyline GT-R is a desirable piece of JDM. Maybe not as memorable as the R32 or R34, but desirable nonetheless. Desirable enough to sell for $120,000 (more than P6 million), though? Probably not.This one which is currently

“I sell cars up to ¥20 million and have a five-year waiting list”
I guess this must be purgatory... for no other reason than I don't know if I'm standing at the rusty, padlocked gates of automotive heaven or hell. Behind them, over 400 'R31' Nissan Skylines-all forlorn, disemboweled, and methodically stacked
‘Warriors, come out to play-i-ay’
If you're familiar with that line, then you've probably seen The Warriors, a turf-battle street-gang themed movie in the late '70s. This Honda CB750 turned Cafe Racer was inspired by that film. So, as Cyrus says, 'Can you
The icon receives a modern makeover
The Skyline is one of if not the most iconic creations under Nissan's belt, with the R32, R33, and R34 and their GT-R iterations leading the way. And although it has been detached from the GT-R badge, Nissan is
