Highlights
- Only one UK keeper since 2005
- Authenticated low mileage example: 86,785 miles
- NISMO body kit enhances the standard appearance
- Fully Ziebart rust-proofed, including inside all box sections
- Complete with original Japanese documentation and import paperwork
The Appeal
With a vibrant modding scene surrounding the model, it's incredibly rare to find a '90s Nissan Skyline in anything close to original condition. This low-mileage JDM example is very close to standard and in very good condition. It comes with the desirable NISMO body kit and benefits from Ziebart protection.
Experts say the R33 GTST represents a sweet spot in the Skyline lineage, offering sublime performance and handling characteristics in a more refined package than its R32 predecessor. This 1993 example has had just one UK owner since 2005 and reportedly only one previous Japanese owner.
The vendor says:
"To summarise, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a very near standard low mileage R33 GTST which looks terrific and goes even better."
