History:

The Nissan Skyline DR30, produced between 1981 and 1985, marked a new era for Nissan’s celebrated performance line. The RS variant, powered by the FJ20ET 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four, became one of the first turbo Skylines and quickly earned a reputation for sharp handling and spirited performance. The Aero Custom edition added aggressive styling elements that reflected the booming car culture of 1980s Japan, making the DR30 a favourite among street racers and tuning enthusiasts. While overshadowed later by the legendary GT-R nameplate, the DR30 carved out its own legacy as a pioneering turbocharged Skyline, influencing Nissan’s performance direction for years to come.
