1971 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT


This is a 1971 Nissan Skyline 2 door hard top that was imported and maintained by JDM Legends.  This particular Skyline is what is referred to in Japan as a GT-R clone, meaning that it utilizes the rear over-fenders that were original equipment on the GT-R model but retains the single cam, 6 cylinder L-series motor found in many Nissans of the era including the S30Z.    This one in particular has been upgraded from the standard 2.0L up to a 2.8L with triple 40mm Weber DCOE side draft carburetors, optional 5-speed transmission, 89mm Kameari pistons and full exhaust system which provides quite an improvement in power from stock.

The first GT-R Skyline appeared in February 1969. It used the 2.0 L (1998 cc) S20 I6. This new DOHC engine (which was designed by the former Prince engineers) produced 160 hp (118 kW, 180 N m), and was similar to the GR8 engine used in the Prince R380 racing car.
