Could you tell me how you like the 84' Skyline?
Difficult to find info on those....

I'd like to find an Audi RS2 in yellow, just like this one.


There's a few Jappnesses cars i'd like to import. I'm very partial to the R31 and R30 skylines for some odd reason. Maybe a Mazda RX-3. A few odd performance Kei cars.

I've owned a dozen, both L20 and FJ20, turbo and NA. They area classic 80's platform, boxy, easy to work on and reliable.

The two door has no B pillar so it's more flexible than the four door. If I recall, the two door was actually heavier too.

Climb around and drive an 84 200SX or 300ZX and you will get a very good feeling about how the Skylines of that era were put together and drive. The suspension arrangement is identical.

Mine used to be nice, once. Rust is an insidious foe.

Beautiful car.

I have a Z31 300ZX, so i figured the R30/31 would be a better handling and better overall engine compared to the 300ZX.

Thanks!

A real 250 GTO....id own it for 2 years then sell it....

I spent almost $500 on weatherstripping and seals alone. For me this was the first car that no expense was spared. $200 FTP lenses???? YES!

Sadly after a colossal fuck up by my (at the time) employer on my tax return. (Found out I didn't actually work there until I filed my taxes) I had to sell quickly to pay fines and what I owed the govt quickly and for way less than I had in it. I sold the body with interior and a running 13bt in it for less than 2k.

The selling of this project ultimatly led my to looking at the twins so there is a bit of a silver lining. But, everytime I see a RX online my heart sinks and I hate myself. I vow to return to the RX-7 market after the brz... next time I think I'm going full race interior and doing a bright, loud, out-of-my-way koi orange!

Final Pictures after demoding, and moving from my garage to the new owner.


I also would like to build an older Datsun 280z w/flares. Tuck/shave the bumpers and give it some updated/thowback vintage racing livery. High reving, straight NA with pollished ITBs. Perfect canidate for a restomod!


I also wouldn't say no to a mkiv supra or fd rx-7 though if I could afford to build those cars you'd likely find me off looking at modern supercars.

Man that sucks but I wish I was that dude that bought your rx 7
