While questionable on a road car, I really like that livery. It's also the first Nissan that used their legendary 4WD that makes the GT-R what it is today.
 
Having an SR20 and the Attessa AWD system that would go into the Skyline GT-R can't save this from Uncool. It's still a dreary looking sedan with the option of a tacky livery because racecar.
 
In basic white with the steel wheels it's meh to everyone else, but tickles the berries for the enthusiast. I love it.

Uncool, though.
 
Ugly, boxy and bland 80s Nissan. Uncool.

That said, I'd LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to own one, but I'm not a cool guy. I mean, it's a car liked by people who, like me, are overly excited by the idea of a NISMO-branded steering wheel, what's more uncool than that?
 
Keep the car in plain white, then remove the fog lights and mudflaps and you'll have a very nice sleeper. Low cool, especially since the interior is painfully bland and the tacky livery option.
 
People might ask why you have a hood scoop on your Pintara but it's much more likely they're just going to ignore it for its extreme blandness.

Meh.
 
Racier version of what at the time was one of the plainest and most unappealing cars around, in the UK market at least. Fine wine styling like many 80s Japanese cars though, and this is an all-round attractive, Cool package. I'll take it in plain white though.
 
Nothing more than an ordinary sedan with some tacky rally lights on it. Uncool. Almost Seriously Uncool.
 
I know absolutely nothing about this car, but it has rally lights and rally lights are cool.
 
It's a beaded seat cover away from appearing like a 90's mini-cab. Uncool.
 
I would give this a sub-zero for being the first all wheel drive Nissan but that livery would stick out like a sore thumb on the road, so cool it is.
