No Skyline/GT-R is ever Uncool or worse to me. I'm going to say Cool, but a very slight one for this Skyline. I do remember the racing variant of this car in Gran Turismo 2. You know- the one with the Tomica sponsorship on it.
 
Not really a looker and no one other than JDM fanboys will know or care what it is. Meh.
 
Those are some awkward proportions going on there. And the rest of the car is very 80s Japanese, that is not a good thing. I'm sure it was a decent steer that makes up for some of the poor styling. Meh.
 
Everything about this car from the boxyness to the decals on the side that read out the engine specs just screams 80s.

Just needs some neon and some retro-futuristic elements and you have the perfect Cyberpunk hero's car.
 
Cool, this car does the 80s so well it's almost perfect even though it's a JDM special that most western countries never saw at the time.
