Because ricer faggots don't know it exists

Because there is no JEE TEE ARU

It is.

It's basically one of the first cars someone into japanese cars gets when they first start driving.

people want this much for a run down R32 that isnt even the GTR.

R31 ex pace car in bathurst spec.

R32?

Nah, you get a VL/ Pintara or a shitty old R31

I love it

ke70 and corona are becoming popular now too.

It used to be geminis and commodores in the early 2000s but all the normies like Japanese cars now.

Although geminis are technically Japanese people are too dumb to realise and they are tainted good from the autosalon era.

Yeah but there is the awesome GEE TEE ESS ARU.

Personally I love the R30 and R31 both OP (later models too but that's not the point of it), but like this user said, lack of GT-R and like another user, people don't know about it was much as they do the later models.

>RWD only
>No RB26DETT
>No "Muh Group A prestige"

Pretty simple really.

wut?

I like to think that the charade is beating the foxbody mustang

I think he means that it raced but didn't win every single race in a season like the R32

arent they popular dorifto cars?

everyone else crashed when the r32 won.

arsehole

That's a Corolla, user.

1969 GT-R up in this bitch.

Becuase plebs don't know about it.

Probably a good thing too.

Because it looks like a British rustang.

I love how old school Japanese muscle cars are like alternate universe American muscle cars.

I, too, love the phenomenon.

>Pic: 1973 GT-R

That`s just 60s/70s car design though.

>Americans believe they invented everything

R31 looks like a volvo fucked a 5.slow mustang.

I thought Skylines were cheap in upside down land.

True patrician hours.
jej

Because the Fast & Furious movies didn't shill for it, so underage ricefags don't know or care it exists because it's not a R32 or R35z

...

Gran Turismo had me admiring Skylines before TFaTF even came out.

My highschool physics teacher drive one of these. He was a ~60 year old Japanese guy and I swear to god we saw him go sideways out of the carpark one day.

they are, somewhat. it all depends on the model and condition.

god that thing is fucking ugly

late r30s and all r31s are amazing
those tail lights are god tier

Made me smile user

...

...

...

...

so how long have you been blind?

...

I guess it's because they don't look as good or as "Japanese" as the later models.

...

Yeah I love how everything had to be boxy because 80's so they just put the circle lights in a box.
The wagons were cool as well

>Not buying the best version

i just watched a documentary about the 240z where they talked about this.
the japanese took a lot of cues from other car companies.
they don't look similar by accident.

guess they couldn't withstand shingami's side press

Anyone else see a beared man skitching on the back of the car in the thumbnail

R31's were just plain awful. At least the Z31 was a 6 cylinder

dr30>mk3

Learned to drive in an R31, still own it over ten years later. Great fucking car.

The R31 did have a six cylinder though?

haha dude I fucking saw that skyline at Lakeside Raceway on Sunday, I was working in the tower there.

R31 had the RB30 you fucking pleb, are you thinking of the Pintara?

The R31 had plenty of Six cylinder options.

RB20's mostly, various turbo charged versions in the GTS, GTS-X, and not to mention the RB20DET-R for the GTS-R, then for aussie market the RB30 was available as well.

Yeah there were CA18's (SOCH, Carburated ones at that) available on R31 Skylines, as well, but most upper end models had inline sixes, in fact only the most low end models came with them.

Yup. Like the A30 Celicas, basically ripped off Mustangs.

Love the fact they put one in Rush when they were racing at Suzuka.

>that's the best version

Every pleb knows about the r31.

They are typically driven by teenagers who recenly graduated public high school and wear their caps backwards.

They litterally did copy american design though.

For example look at how celica lift backs look like mustangs that were designed earlier.

Look at how 70's now lift back celicas look like late 60's camaros.

Retarded post.

R31s always have cheap dodgey mods.

Particularly the aus delivered ones.

How the fuck do people not think one of the most common first cars for broke p plate hoons isn't a meme car?

...

Typical p plate r31 hoon car.

I would absolutely love one, but I never seen one for sale in the UK

This also Bathhurst is what got me liking the R32 not a shitty movie.
