Exterior Overview

Stylish, athletic, and iconic, the R34 Skyline is a whole lot more than just a movie car. These comfortable coupes make for great daily drivers, and the rear-drive layout of this 1998 GT-T is rewarding in demanding situations. Finished in Black Pearl (KH3) this Skyline boasts OEM optional Altia aero, factory rainguards, Xenon headlamps, and a slick set of 18″ Enkei RPF-1’s. Save for a few scuffs, dings, and swirls, the paint is really in good shape for being 25 years young, and the 107k miles on the clock indicate this coupe has been well cared for and consistently pampered over the last couple of decades. Fresh off a recent service, this turbocharged two-door is a hot commodity, and would be right at home in the garage of any discerning enthusiast. A platform that needs little introduction, the R34 is a Japanese Classic that’s here to stay!

Interior Overview

Nissan hit their stride towards the new millennium, doing a bang-up job with interior redesigns that were functional, stylish, and still packed with reliable amenities to assist daily use. Power windows, locks, and electric folding side mirrors are just a few examples on this Skyline that all work well in traditional Nissan fashion. Access to the cabin is made seamless too, thanks to factory keyless entry. Navigating towards the center stack, digital automatic climate control works like a charm, offering up cold A/C and hot heat at the push of a button. Adjacent to the HVAC, touchscreen Pioneer audio is also present, and has some throwback tunes pre-loaded to start soundtracking your drive. The dash materials are in good shape and house dual SRS airbags for some added peace of mind. The driver can get comfortable behind a tilt adjustable steering column and the sport mesh seats do a swell job at resisting daily wear and tear, although the driver bolster has worn in a bit over the years. Even the rear bench is functional, which is rare on vehicles of this vintage. The headliner is tidy, as are the carpets, which have been protected by a sleek set of factory mats that are included with the sale. If we had to nitpick anything, there’s some minor separation around the defrost vents and a couple of chips in the center stack and A-pillar trim. Otherwise, we think this cockpit is a no-brainer, turn-key ready for its eager next stateside owner!

Mechanical Overview

Under the bonnet, the RB25DET NEO is a sweet mate for the chassis, with a responsive and exhilarating powerband and mechanicals that are surprisingly easy to service! Our trained technicians have taken care of loads of preventative maintenance to get you on track for the road ahead, including a full timing belt and water pump service, a comprehensive tune up, and a fresh Virginia State Safety Inspection! The Skyline cranks over with haste, and we installed six new spark plugs for a much-needed tune up. A new timing belt and water pump get you on track for future maintenance schedules, and we also tended to some pesky oil leaks. A new rear main seal was pressed in, as were new valve cover gaskets. With the maintenance performed this RB runs like a top, and is mated to a proper 5 speed manual gearbox for optimum driver enjoyment. A period-correct NISMO sports muffler amplifies the RB’s exhaust note without being too overbearing. The NEO has more than enough power to spin the rear wheels, and this balanced chassis is easy to dart around even at higher speeds. Tein coilover suspension is comfortable yet compliant, and both front caster arms were replaced to aid handling. We also tore down the steering rack and completely rebuilt it. New seals keep the fresh power steering fluid internal, and we tossed it back together with new inner and outer tie rods, bellows boots, and steering rack bushings. Afterwards, we threw this lovely R34 up on the rack for a fresh four wheel alignment. This should prolong the life of the brand new Falken rubber, and keep you tracking straight for miles and miles to come.
