Hey guys check out this beauty...

yeah that one's been for sale for a while, someone trying to make money by importing them I reckon. You never see one in australia in that condition, then all of a sudden there one for sale?

It looks pretty clean. The 2000GT-EX Turbo looks like an interesting car being first turbo production car from Japan. Price seems reasonable for something so rare.

oh, don't get me wrong, I agree with the price on the car, what I'm saying is you only ever see rough examples here, and then a MINT one comes up for sale? where has it been? surely one of us has seen or heard about it before, but no. I think it was picked up in japan for a decent bargain, and shipped here, just to sell it.

[mxzoom]

Yeah very true I agree. It looks like the import shop is Sydney based and specialises in Japanese nostalgics. There's a link to their website on the eBay ad.

Seems the GC211 is not the only classic Skyline they have in stock...

Would not pay that price for an unoriginal hako IMO. same thing would be 20k ( with change) landed in my garage if I imported it myself. Sure it's nice but over priced. Plus I'd much rather this

hello all skyline lovers!! im new to the forum and have just moved to vic from the states and am looking to puchase a skyline as they are not legal in the states and it has always been a favorite of mine. im here to get opinions on year make and model suggestions as well as preferred engine. i like the body of the 99 best but not set on it so please give me ideas

[steve200b]

This is the classic section so I think most will suggest old school skyline datsun cars here. I like the series 2 mr30 best myself

1977 C110, wasn't a skyline here but was in Japan.

Spotted this in Tokyo Last Week, it was down the road from where they were setting up Tokyo Motor Fest, so it may have been there for that, unfortunately I was flying out the next day. It was driving up and down this small road next to a Car Museum that I was shooting some pics in, so had to run outside and just managed to get these pics. Enjoy.
