1973 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-X




If you are a regular on this site, you are probably aware that I am not a huge Nissan guy. However, I will make exceptions in regards to the early Skylines and modern GT-Rs. Nicknamed "Kenmeri," the Skyline 2000 GT-X displayed here was found in the U.S. and restored and modified to glory. Under the hood is a RB26DETT twin-turbo straight-6 from the R33-gen Skyline GT-R producing 552 horsepower and 421 lb-ft of torque. The R33 engine is paired to a RB25DET 5-speed manual. The earliest Nissan Skylines weren't engineered for left-hand drive markets like the U.S. and continental Europe, therefore it was never originally sold in those markets. Several other later-model GT-R parts were used to complete this build. In short, the Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-X "Kenmeri" is an incredible tuner vehicle with a great background story.
