But not until October. And not the GT-R for another couple years.

Nothing spectacular, although still pretty cool cars based on their own merits.

As a bonus, here’s a 1993 GT-R prototype, note the actual GT-R came in ‘95.

I know, I just needed an excuse to post period-correct pics of ordinary Skylines. ¯\_()_/¯

Yeah, I’m aware most of them were just plain old midsizers. But someone had to break up the Twingo circle jerk.

But here’s the thing, I don’t want a GT-R to ruin. I just need a RWD R33 coupe to modify into the Nismo GT-R LM, which is RWD anyway.

Kinja'd!!!

I’m surprised I haven’t heard of or seen any aftermarket companies trying to replicate its looks!

We got that 3er under the name 318ti. The Fiat Coupe looks interesting but I don’t think I’d want one.

Ohhh, I see. Is it the E46 compact you guys didn’t get ?

The Fiat Coupé is funky and has some interesting engines (like a 2.0 I5).

Correct.

I’m looking to import something after I pay off my TSX. 2-3 years from now. I’ll have lots of interesting choices then.
