When I think of a high performance Skyline R30 I alway picture either the louvre grille DR30 or the tekkamen (Iron Mask) DR30, but not this thoroughbred 2000GT Turbo:

Thoroughbred in Skyline terms means it is at least having a L20 engine under its hood:

And normally a thoroughbred L20ET should have a bit more oomph than its predecessor but in this case Nissan kept the entire L20ET the same as in the C211. Perhaps they thought it meant that the shell was thoroughbred and its engine were the strong genes remaining from its predecessor?
I did post up a Nissan 300ZX before, but that was the Z32. Last week I happened to take a shortcut through town and found this almost-like-new 1985 Z31 parked in a narrow street:

The car has been imported a year ago into the Netherlands and presumably it was hauled all the way from Switzerland. At least that’s where most Dutch classics are imported from nowadays…
Personally I’d say this 300ZX is almost the ideal car for me:

It has a powerful enough engine, 80s lines and a T-Bar roof. Only problem I have with it is that it is currently seriously overpriced…
