Default Possibly FS: 1983 Nissan Skyline DR30 RS Turbo - the onlu 100% legal in the US, SoCal

Edit: onlu = only

I'm just gauging interest in the car. I don't want to sell it, but it may be a better choice to let it go and use the money toward tuition for next semester (law school is not cheap :D ). So, make me an offer...

This car is one of TWO in the US (as far as I know), and the only one legalized. 100% legal, registered and smogs in California as a 1983 Nissan Skyline RS. It has been in the US for almost two decades and has a clear California title. It has just come back from filming (Fast and Furious 3 extra car)

Engine:
FJ20ET - Nissan's first (and best) 4-cyl DOHC (don't let the engine nomenclature fool you, it's a DOHC)
The T3 turbo is on its way out, so it may need a $300 rebuild at a local shop - the car still runs just fine (but doesn't get to full boost)
5-speed
Fully CA Smog compliant
156k kilometers, so about 96,000 miles

Suspension:
kg/mm springs
KYB shocks

Brakes:
recently replaced front rotors/pads and rear pads

Wheels:
15x7 +0 meshies

Boxes of parts, including spare head gaskets and other randomness, are included.

Insurance is very cheap as well, since this is a collector car. My premium is $300/year for full-coverage with Hagerty Collector Car Insurance.

Trade + Cash possible if you have something interesting (RHD Mini with a decent-cc engine, Triumph Dolomite Sprint, etc.), since I would prefer not to be stuck without in interesting weekend car :D.

Right now, offers have hit $11k on Craigslist (but we all know how dependable that place is ...






and here's the car's heritage (click the links, they're somewhat big): :D

That's awesome, I've never seen an R30 before. If you use your imagination you can see the beginnings of the R32 in it.

That is awesome! I can definitely see how this morphed later into the R32 body.

Bump for a piece of Skyline history.

Any interior pics?
