If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

wow...gt-r and nos emblems on a gts-t, and he claims that because he bored the 25 to 2.6L its now a gt-r

and the drift picture at the end isnt the same car

more than likely its a scam and isnt his car...that or that skyline cries inside knowing who its driver is

i didnt even bother looking at the rhd part fyi

There were a few real GTR's converted to LHD way back, insanely expensive and unnecessary conversion, but it was availible at one point.

looks to me like the tachometer spins the wrong direction meaning the photo was flipped, probably a scam.

Yes, there were in fact some factory LHD ones. Possibly australia? I can't remember, but I know for a fact that they exist.

Also note the "NOS" sticker in the 4th/6th and 7th pics...points to the right in the closeup, left in the pics that show the steering wheel.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! Nissan NEVER produced a LHD Skyline. All the ones that were ever LHD were conversions.

Read through that thread.

And Australia drives on the left side of the road like we do here in Japan.

Also look at the ignition. Wrong side of the steering column. And the exhaust is on the wrong side as well. This could possibly be a scam.

Yeah, the keys are also on the left side of the steering column. The dork even left them in the keyhole.

I also love how, on the rear shot, you can clearly see "SKYLINE" backwards.
