Nissan 1984 DR30 Skyline 2000RS-X Turbo

Description for Nissan Other 1984

Imported straight from Tokyo Japan 2014 this DR30 Skyline RS is amust have for Japanese Classic Car Collectors or Skyline GT-R Heritage Collectors!Released on October 2 1981 as more of a stripped-down lightweight racer but without as many luxury extras the sixth generation Nissan Skyline was intially known as the 2000RS. These were equipped with the naturally aspirated 4-valve-per-cylinder DOHC FJ20E engine generating 110 kW (150 PS; 148 hp) of power at 6000 rpm and 181 N·m (133 lb·ft) of torque at 4800 rpm. The official Nissan chassis designation for all FJ20-powered models was DR30.In February 1983 the DR30 range received a significant boost in performance with the introduction of the turbocharged FJ20ET engine in the 2000RS-Turbo version. Front brakes were also significantly upgraded to cope with the power increase. Now with 140 kW (190 PS; 188 hp) of power at 6400 rpm and 225 N·m (166 lb·ft) of torque at 4800 rpm on tap the FJ20ET enjoyed new-found prestige as the most powerful Japanese production engine of its era.Nissan sought to elevate the status of the DR30 Skyline as their new flagship model in light of this success and it received a generous amount of changes to distinguish it from lesser Skyline models in August 1983. Interior equipment was significantly upgraded to now include electric windows air conditioning and power steering as standard in the new RS-X model (for Extra) with an increased curb weight of around 1235 kg (2723 lb); gone were the days of the spartan stripped-out race interior although this could still be specified at time of purchase. But by far the most striking change to the RS was the new unique front end treatment nicknamed Tekkamen (鉄仮面) or Iron Mask by fans for its distinctive look. The headlights were considerably slimmer and instead of a conventional grille the bonnet now sloped down to two narrow slits above a facelifted front bumper and airdam. Further changes were made in 1984 most notably the addition of an intercooler revised compression ratios and turbocharger exhaust housing to the FJ20ET powered model now known as the RS-Turbo C and increasing output to 205 PS (151 kW) of power at 6400 rpm and 245 N·m (181 lb·ft) of torque at 4400 rpm.To this day the FJ20-powered R30 Skyline remains a cult car both at home and overseas (there are still dedicated "one make" drag racing events for this model in Japan) and is credited with rejuvenating the Skyline brand in the early 1980s. It also paved the way for the eventual re-introduction of the legendary GT-R badge markedly absent since the end of C110 Skyline production in 1973.*Volk Wheels*Carbon Fiber Dash*Carbon Fiber Accents*Aero Upgrades*Interior Upgrades*Rear Spoiler*2000RS-X Limited Edition Upgrades
