Okay this one isn’t too bad, but...

I love DR30 and R31 Skylines. I know a lot of people consider them to be ugly abominations to the Skyline name, but they’re just so damn ‘80s I can’t help it. I think they look awesome.

What I’m trying to say is, I need !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in my life!

I would love to import one, when I have the money.

I’d happily buy one with my own money. Even a stock sedan.

Nope. AWD wasn’t offered on any trim of the Skyline until the R32s.

Read that one before. Great article. Such an under-appreciated car.

The thing is, because they aren’t that desirable I don’t really think they’ll ever be all that expensive. They’ve been legal to import under the 25 year law for years now, and hardly anyone has taken notice. All the JDM fanboys have been waiting for the R32.

I really want to pick up one of these, an AE86, a Chaser, or a Soarer in the next few years.

It's really cool. In like an 80s cool.

I like these too. They were sold in some European countries but sadly not in Finland. R31 was also available as an interesting looking 4 door hardtop model.

Yeah, 80s cool is entirely it’s own thing. If something had 80s cool design but was made in any other decade, it’d be absolutely terrible.

Funny how things work that way.

Reminds me of late 80s Hondas. haha

I never knew a wagon existed in this shape and I love it

The Chaser & Soarer are cool too, but I’m not a huge AE86 fan. The fanboys are waiting for the R34, those are gonna be hilariously overpriced.

It still looks good.

I agree. I love them. One showed up at a Cars & Coffee (in Kansas City, no less) several months ago and now I need one.

I’ve never been, but as often as Dino writes about and does features from the Daikoku parking area I’m sure you’re absolutely right.

There’s a series of car videos called Grip. They have a number of features where they go to Daikokufuto and out on the Wangan. Definitely worth checking the videos out.

I love all of them. I’d really like a red AE86 to compliment my red FR-S. haha

I’d love to have a Mk IV Chaser Tourer V.
