The 1996 Nissan Skyline GTS25-t Type M Series 2 is one of the most recognizable and well-rounded cars to come out of the golden era of Japanese performance. Finished in Sonic Silver Metallic (color code KR4), this R33 is a clean and mostly original example of one of the most requested models we import. With just 103,308 verified miles, it remains in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, offering a proper taste of Nissan’s rear-wheel-drive performance platform. This one carries just a few period-correct upgrades, keeping the spirit of the chassis intact while adding a bit of character for the enthusiast driver.

Under the hood is the venerable RB25DET, a 2.5L turbocharged inline-six that’s known for its smooth power delivery and long-term reliability. Paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, the car delivers a responsive and engaging driving experience, with power sent directly to the rear wheels. The engine starts quickly, idles consistently, and moves through the rev range with minimal drama, while the transmission shifts cleanly with a firm, positive feel. The driveline remains mostly untouched, making this an ideal starting point for someone who wants a pure Skyline experience or a strong platform for future modifications.

Inside, the cabin is in great shape and reflects the kind of care you’d hope for in a nearly 30-year-old car. The Series 2 seats feature updated multi-pattern cloth upholstery and more supportive bolstering than earlier models, offering both comfort and stability during spirited driving. Features include power windows, power mirrors, digital climate control, and an Alpine head unit that blends well with the otherwise stock interior. The layout is simple and driver-focused, with clear gauges and tactile switchgear that give the car a mechanical, analog feel often missing from newer vehicles.

The exterior showcases the more refined Series 2 facelift, with updated headlights and a subtly reshaped front bumper that sharpen the R33’s already sleek silhouette. Its long, flowing lines are accentuated by the low stance and wide arches, filled out nicely by a set of Bridgestone Potenza SW010 wheels that complement the factory bodywork. The integrated rear spoiler adds balance to the rear end, while the Sonic Silver paint highlights the car’s proportions without being too loud. Everything about the exterior strikes a balance between sporty and understated, making this Skyline stand out without needing excessive flash.

This R33 Skyline GTS25-t Type M represents everything enthusiasts love about ’90s JDM cars—clean lines, turbocharged power, and driver-focused design. It’s a well-preserved, lightly modified example that can be appreciated as a weekend cruiser, daily driver, or a solid foundation for a custom build. With its low mileage, desirable Series 2 updates, and timeless looks, this is a turn-key classic that delivers the authentic Skyline experience without compromise.
