1977 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-ES KHGC210
The C210, fifth-generation Skyline, "Japan,"was launched in August 1977, with new, straighter bodylines, and less Valiant. All the cars in the series met the 1978 exhaust emission regulations, and the new TI-EX model featured halogen headlights. The GT family included GT, GT-L, GT-EL, GT-EX and GT-ES models. A minor update in 1979 changed the front mask, and another in 1980 introduced the turbo GT-E.

“Oil pan. Oil Pan! OIL PAN!” Sorry, I can’t help myself when I see that photo of the blue 1958 Ford approaching the rocks.

The C211 followed in 1980 following a minor change. Three versions of 2000GT were available: Turbo GT-E (143Hp), GT-E (123Hp), and the GT (113Hp). GT-R was conspicuous by its absence, sales not being sufficient to ameliorate development costs for an emissions-friendly high-performance variant. The gas crisis hit Japan hard, too, and the L20ET turbo addressed both problems.
