Most Wanted: 10 Vehicles Which Need A Restomod

November 15, 2017

Nissan Skyline R33 GTR

Production years: 1993-1998

Some cars never really age. While a lot of vehicles may still look amazing, they’re very much of their time. The Nissan Skyline R33 GTR could come out today, and aside from it being slightly more boxy than modern cars, I’d not notice the difference. Its influence on the Nissan GT-R is almost shockingly evident, and if you ever want a car to drift in, the Skyline R33 is the one for you. It was also that rarest of breeds: it could seat four, carry your stuff, was reliable, and was extremely fast. If you’re interested in driving on more than just straight lines, you’re in luck.

Thanks to its popularity as a drifter and a general tuner’s car, most of them have already been modified to some extent. If you want the ultimate in speed, an LS3 engine will fit the bill nicely, and can be installed in an R33 fairly easily. If you’re more of a traditionalist, then get yourself a fine straight-six, maybe something Porsche-produced, and prepare for the ultimate driving experience. Be prepared to rip off a ton of lameass accessories installed by whoever owned it before you, and rebuild it back according to your own aesthetic.
