1994 Nissan Skyline GTST

This car is an example of the Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-25t, which was powered by a 2.5-litre single-turbocharged straight six engine delivering 250 PS and 294 Nm of torque.

While it isn’t the bonkers 305 PS GT-R, this GTS-25t has been fitted with a GT-R body kit to give it just as much show, and has been tuned to over 400 PS to give it even more go!

Built in 1994, the Skyline was imported to the UK and registered with the DVLA in April 2005.

Our vendor has a number of cars in his collection and has owned this Skyline for just over a year. He bought it as he just loves Skylines and even has three others in his collection - all GT-R models. This one he says drives better than any of his GT-Rs.

He travels a lot and does very little mileage so doesn’t really get enough enjoyment to offset the headache of keeping all the cars maintained and insured, and none of his kids are interested in cars so he’s downsizing the collection.

Finished in the rare factory colour of Deep Pearl Blue, this Skyline looks more purposeful than the standard GTS-25t due to being partially rebodied with GT-R panels - all of which have been professionally fitted and blended to the underlying car.

The vented front wings, rear quarters and boot spoiler are all from the GT-R, with the front bumper featuring an extended splitter.

The overall condition appears to be very good, with no obvious damage or even any of the stone chipping you might expect on a car with this performance. There are a few paint blemishes and age-related marks - especially under the sills - but nothing of significance, it is a great looking car.

The Skyline sits on 17-inch Veilside Andrew Racing 5-spoke split rims, with gunmetal inners and polished outers. All appear in good condition with no apparent scuffing, although the outer rims are a little cloudy now and would benefit from a polish.

The fronts are fitted with Marshal Matrac tyres dating from 2014, and the driven rears have 2019 Toyo Proxes - all of which show sufficient tread depth.

Unlike the enhanced exterior, the inside looks all original with velour upholstery in a variety of flecked blue-grey shades across the seats and door panel inserts. All of it looks immaculate with the only obvious wear being on the driver’s seat - although this is relatively light.

Elsewhere is trimmed in a dark greyish blue vinyl. The dash top looks undamaged and the instrument panel and door cards appear relatively unmarked. The steering wheel shows a little wear around the rim and slight peeling in places.

The only non-original item appears to be the In Phase stereo, which is connected to speakers in the doors and on the rear parcel shelf.

Underfoot the carpets are in good order and are further protected by what we understand are the original factory floor mats.

The engine bay looks clean and well cared for with the Swave and Summit sticker on the strut brace hinting at some aftermarket performance tuning improvements.

These engine bay modifications and enhancements reportedly include the following:

• Nistune mappable ECU
• Greddy Profec boost controller
• T38 Hybrid turbo
• Japspeed front-mounted intercooler
• Bigger 740 cc injectors
• Larger aluminium radiator
• Braided water pipes
• Nissan OEM N1 oil and water pumps
• Walbro fuel pump

Underneath the car, everything looks straight and intact with no obvious rust or undue corrosion, aside from on the exhaust pipes before they meet the JanSpeed stainless steel catback exhaust.

The rear boot is fairly spacious and the lid holds up on the struts despite the additional weight of the spoiler. Inside, the grey linings and carpet are in good, clean condition with no obvious damage.

The Skyline has a current MOT valid until April 2024. It passed with just the one advisory on the corroded exhaust.

Worth noting is that the MOT history records the mileage of the car but being a Japanese import, the odometer measures in kilometres. So the current reading of around 69,530 km is the equivalent of approximately 43,200 miles.

There is a small history file with the car including a number of invoices for parts purchased and work done. Of significance is an oil and coolant change service alongside the recent MOT by Nispro Performance of Haddenham in Bucks - one of the premier Skyline specialists in the UK.

We also understand that the aircon was regassed a year ago and the cambelt changed in 2021 - around 1,000 km ago. In early 2019 it was also given a full “Rustbuster” corrosion prevention treatment.

It comes with two keys.

In the world of iconic Japanese Imports and known the world over, the Nissan Skyline reigns as one of the world’s most famous of Japanese sports cars. Whilst the GT-R might be the most desirable model, this GTS-25t has something of the look of the Godzilla and, thanks to the choice performance enhancements, will deliver just as many skid marks!

Well presented, in an attractive colour we think this low mileage 400+ PS Skyline R33 will sell for between £26,000 and £32,000.

That’s an awful lot of bangs for your bucks, or boost for your brass, or power for your pounds, or “yee-hahs” for your Yen, or… STOP, we get the message!
