1998 Nissan Skyline (ER34) — Silver

September 1998 is when this ER34 Skyline was first put on the road in Japan, and by the time we listed it the odometer read 108,900 km. Silver two-door coupe. Manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive, and under the bonnet the RB25DET, a 2.5-litre (2500cc) turbocharged inline-six. Right-hand drive, petrol.

Repair history: None recorded.

For anyone comparing R34 coupes, a few things set this one apart from the usual run. The two-door body is scarcer than the four-door on the ER34 side, and a manual RB25DET coupe with no repair flag on the record is the combination most buyers are actually hunting for when they say they want a "clean 34". At 108,900 km across roughly 28 years of registration, the average works out to under 4,000 km a year, which is low for a turbo Skyline that wasn't tucked away as a collector piece.

Colour-wise, silver is one of the shades that hides age well on this body, and it photographs without the panel-flatness you get on darker cars.
