A Seemingly Unobtainable Nissan Skyline DR30 Exists in Las Vegas
Equipped with a modernized SR20 heart.
Jay Kho explains the history behind his incredibly rare DR30 version of the heralded Nissan Skyline in the latest episode of Petrolicious‘s Made to Drive. The epitome of ’80s street cars, the Skyline DR30 is often overshadowed by its R32-33-34-35 brothers but Kho remarks that the 1983 is the treasure that he was able to obtain, with surprise that not only was he able to find it but he was able to register it. The engine has been swapped out for a more modern SR20 heart that “has decent power, enough for me to enjoy it,” but with a turbo spool that sounds both “Godzilla”-aggressive and incredibly satisfying. Check out the two-toned livery-clad boxy sports coupe as it roams the streets of Vegas in all of its JDM glory above.
