Here's a Clean Trio of Nissan Classics for You to Drool Over
With some of the best Nissans firmly in the 25-year importable range, the company's sporty coupes are experiencing a surge of popularity. Because many are used as drift cars, they get rode hard and put up wet — either prioritizing function over form, or taking on the more wild styling cues of the drifting community. That being said, there are still those that take the OEM+ route and allow us to appreciate them more closely to how they left the factory over 20 years ago.
NISSAN SKYLINE GTR
Third Generation / R32 (1989-1994)
Any serious discussion of Nissan performance has to mention Godzilla, the R32 GT-R.
This example has been mildly lowered on SSR SP3 wheels wrapped in Nitto Tire NT555s.
The interior looked well preserved, modified slightly with an aftermarket head unit and Personal steering well.
2. NISSAN 240SX
First Generation / S13 (1989-1994)
The S13 240sx is easily one of the more diverse Japanese sports platforms. With three different body styles, multiple front ends as well as several turbo and non-turbo powertrains, owners have several OEM choices to make before they even look to the aftermarket.
This two-tone coupe has been fitted with a JDM Silvia front end and gold-faced BBS rims wrapped in Nitto Tire Neo Gens.
NISSAN 240SX
Second Generation / S14 (1994-1998)
The 240SX ended its run in the U.S. with the S14 chassis in 1998, and its final form was arguably the best looking of the bunch.
The owner of this white kouki model has mounted a set of Yoshihara Design D5Cs wrapped in Nitto Tire Neo Gens. Drifter Dai Yoshihara has long been associated with the 240SX, so its great to see a set of his wheels getting some love on this platform.
