This DR30 Nissan Skyline is the Red Panda

- “We always want what we can’t have,” says Jay Kho. “The Supra, back in the day, you could go to a dealership and purchase one. You could never purchase a Nissan Skyline…it’s like a treasure you never want to let go.”
Born in the Philippines, Jay Kho grew up with a car trading, street racing father who would race his Japanese car, “at Midnight,” he says. Once he emigrated to the U.S., however, Kho became quickly immersed in American and European cars, which were totally foreign to him at the time. After owning a few interesting ones, including a ’66 Ford Mustang, a chance encounter with an imported-but-hidden 1983 DR30 Nissan Skyline became an obsession.
“I grew up in the ’80s, I’m an ’80s kid. Look at this car, and right away, you know it’s ’80s. It’s made in the ’80s. It’s so boxy, just the angular shape to it,” Kho says. After changing the engine to an SR20 and freshening the car as needed so he’s able to enjoy it, Kho’s R30 Skyline is road legal and his pride and joy. Despite its ‘Godzilla’ nickname, he’s modest about its performance, saying the SR20, “…has decent power, enough for me to enjoy it”.
Now that he has his dream car, will Kho sell it? Not a chance-he’s still surprised he has the keys to a DR30!
“It’s something that we could only dream of and aspire to,” he says. “Knowing that you have it in your garage…I’m like, ‘Wow, it’s there…”

Good to see people showing these skylines some love. A lot of people forget about them
NotASupraOrGtrFanboy agreed I feel like the r30 and r31's are the "forgotten generation" of the skyline which is kinda sad cause they're still amazing cars to drive with a little bit of work like suspension and wheels
Probably cuz the Japanese motor industry, likewise, is forgettable for the most part.
i am legit looking to save up money to buy a 2 door coupe of it, mainly the 4 door gtx are common
I have the same car but silver color
@@josiahpercimoney5219 can you tell me where I can find parts for this car such as head lights?
Seeing that car riding in the night reminds me of gran turismo 2 for the ps1 so much. Very good looking car.
I was initially surprised how good it looks in Las Vegas... but then I thought, well, it was designed in Japan, and Tokyo at night is _at least_ as bright and colourful as that, so actually it makes sense. Race livery tribute works pretty well too.
You guys create the best automotive content.
quality at its best!
If Petrolicious can do a video of a Honda/Acura NSX 1991-2005, I would die a happy man
yes!!
+billy joe I'm sure they did already? :)
+TassieLorenzo when, i really wanna see it
billy joe Sorry I got mixed up :( I was thinking of the Nick Murray NSX video.
+billy joe I'm considering submitting my all original 1991 red NSX to Petrolicious. I'm surprised they still haven't featured one.
You see those classic round taillights and you know its a skyline. They look so good especially since the shape of this car is square-ish and angular and it makes the round lights pop out. i've never seen this skyline before, but just like the other models it looks good.
Great cinematography and very nice car! The hard work your team puts into each video really shows.
such great videos every week - how is it possible?
+Ordinary Car Show that's actually a good question, they must have a good team.
+Ali Ahadi And lots of inquiries to get your amazing car into one of these videos helps I'm sure.
I love the quality and the car choices. If it isn't something I'm into perse, I still 100% appreciate the car, it's owner and these videos after watching.
Neni Oner yea, even the cars I wouldn't think I would be interested in I end up watching the whole video with appreciation.
+Ordinary Car Show blood, sweat, tears, planning, winging it, sleep deprivation, long hours of editing and a little bit of luck. ;)

Petrolicious I love the way you show the cars off. Also with the owners story In the back ground. Great work
super rare car stateside, driving in Vegas? I also like to live Dangerously
Great scenery, chill music, nice car, laid back mood...great video, as usual.
Appriciated very much to R30 and to owner itself, Mr. Kho. Thankfully owned the Hotwheels version last week and it's astonishing 👌
Awesome video! Shot and put together beautifully
Vegas was a beautiful backdrop. Great job guys.
Nice video! Takes me back to when I was a kid in the 80s - we had the Skyline 2.8 GTX coupe going up against the Ford Cortina XR6 in our midnight street races (in South Africa).
Amazing how different everyone's dream cars are but to each his own. Love the content even when the car does zero for me.
love it, the car and the show
like each week.
Thanks
Very nice! The Hasemi Motorsport stickers bring back memories of the Hasemi tuned R33 I used to own in the early 2000's.
I'm surprised I haven't seen this car around town living in Vegas. It's still a pretty small city here. I hope to see this car in person. I love the 80's box designs.
I was just thinking the same thing!
amazing . i love these petrolicious videos. makes me want to restore all my rides to hopefully have a video hear in this channel.
love the video. he did not really unleash the car or even accelerate hard, but I feel him in the fact that he wants to preserve it
I had one in Holland - stunning car and THE one that I regret selling. You're a lucky man.
Just keeps getting better and better.
Loved the story behind the car.. A+ on the video
Omg I thought I was the only one in love with the Silhouette!! lol. Gran Turismo 2 did that for me. lol
Good job! Congrats Jay on an awesome production. #wildcards
love the red/black/gold color scheme. plan on doing that with my car!
Very very nice R30, the Watanabes look absolutely perfect on these, it's not a wheel I like too much but it's like they were made for the 30. I also like my cars more modified, but again, this one is so tastefully done in the period livery with the right amount of low that you can't help but love it.
Cool setting, I'm surprised there aren't more videos in Vegas. Cool Video
With your channel, I'm always wondering if you get approached by Millionaires with huge cash offers to film them and their cars. Your clips are full of passion, ambiance, emotion and refined cinematic skills.
Petrolicious is the Criterion Collection of car channels.
And just like them, you surprise me every time with your choice, and the brilliant and artistically enrichting packaging.
Brilliant video pal!!!!!!
without the stickers, it would be sooo nice! nice video Petrolicious!
+firebird188 i think it actually fits the car really well
Yeah, maybe a few less would be better. That said, great owner and love the story! Anytime someone can have their dream car it's a beautiful thing.
I love it. It gives that retro Japanese Touring Car Championship look
Captain Bacon exactly
+firebird188 It's a homage to the Hasemi Motorsports R30 that raced in the Super Silhouette series in Japan. I like it!
Hey local Vegas resident here ive seen this car! so dope
I love Australia. All the cars you could ever want. I just got my r31 skyline two weeks ago and I love it
80's party car.
Thankfully this one hasn't been ruined by adding some insane spoilers in some misplaced effort to make it appear more "contemporary".
great episode!!!
Always a big fan of the earlier skyline
another great video, car and story. stickers or not = no issue, as that is every person's choice/preference. I like rare/unique/strange cars, even if not the fastest version of that model, and the personal story = passion behind 'why' = petrolicious makes my week, every week! thanks.
Really cool car, great video.
Man! It sure is one beautiful car!🥰👍you're one lucky dude!✌😎👍
really enjoyed this episode.
this is mass production holywood film quality... no wait that's better
FANTASTIC! Love it!
懐かしい！昔DR30Turbo-Cに乗ってました。
この動画のように、今でも現役で、しかも海外で綺麗なDR30が走っているのを見ると感激しました。
Nostalgic! I used to ride the DR30 Turbo-C.
Like this video, I was impressed to see the beautiful DR30 running overseas, which is still active.
one of my dream cars, amazing
What a beautiful classic :) I want one :)
Thank you for loving the Skyline!
This is such a SWEET ride.
Beautiful car, wish the exhaust tone was more pronounced.
probably would growl if he actually got on the gas.
I had no idea the skyline went back that far. Love this channel!
+grndiesel They go back wayyyy farther.
+grndiesel Um, they certainly did.
way waaaay back to 1957.lol
Nice car. I like the stickers. cool look. cool owner.
What a beautiful, beautiful JDM car.
One of these days I'd love to do a photoshoot with this car and my Japanese FC. The great 80's!
Beautiful video quality, what cameras and lenses do you use to shot those vids ? Are looking soo crisp and awesome !
What a beauty that car is.
Awesome car awesome video
Absolutely love the car
this looks soooooo good driving through Las Vegas.
This Skyline is my absolute favorite of them all.
Greate car, greate story. Keep it up
Love the uniqueness of car Petrolicious you did it again. Hey did the car ever go above 1000 rpms???
Nice video and car. I saw these when I lived in Japan.......................
A classic SKYLINE. VERY NICE
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH a R30!!!!! Always loved those
you can get rb30 turbo engines in Australia as they were installed in our GM Holden Commodore built cars from 1985 to 1988 in turbo or fuel injected. GM Australia did a deal with Nissan to supply the factory with a good engine which is now a cult classic.
That just looks so natural driving down the Vegas strip at night.
beautiful car
There's something about Japanese 80's and 90's car styling that I just love.
my goodness that's beautiful
Good stuff right here
Beautiful!
Great story and video! Craigslist search for "skyline" in 3,2,1... :)
I love 80s cars and really want one. should've gone with the 6 cyl. nice car mane
Oh yeah! Love me a old Skyline!
Another awesome story !
lovin those seats!
Sweet looking car. I've heard of the Nissan Skyline, but for some reason, they were never sold here in the USA.
Reminds me of a Toyota Soarer. Love those Skylines! Lots of mystique.....
All those sharp angles....it's just like my AE86.
1987 Corolla GTS.
+Mr. Johnson i feel you. it made me miss mine.
Astonishing!!
Old school Petrolicious, how we miss you
I love the blow off valve sound
Very cool!
The most beautiful skyline
Great story on this car
super cool car man. people need to know about the skylines that arent GTRs

I GOT BROADS IN ATLANTA
TWISTIN DOPE, LEAN AND THE FANTA
he knows very well. today's GTR can be traced back to this particular model of Skyline. It was absolutely epic. yes it has different configuration of the engine, it has not the name "GTR" on, but everything of today's Nissan sports car began from this particular car.
beauty love skylines
Man the square body so cool
excellent story
Coolest car on the show yet!
ganda tsekot. nakakalaway. haha. Legend. :)
Almost perfect!
Lovely.....
Epic little car would love to talk to him about this
Honestly this is why I like living in Australia dirt cheap skylines direct imports from Japan no hassle in obtaining spares
Yes! More J-tin!
Thanks a lot!
It's like seeing the Legend at it's prime grate car.
