Ep 11. Nissan Skyline

In Wheeler Dealers season 9 episode 11, the team receives a highly requested viewer suggestion to restore a 1994 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS. Hosts Mike Brewer and Edd China head to Japan to find the perfect Skyline to bring back to the UK and make a profit.

The episode starts with Mike and Edd exploring the bustling streets of Tokyo in search of the ideal Skyline. They finally discover one they like and bring it to a local mechanic for a thorough inspection. The mechanic gives them the green light to buy the car, and they take it to a workshop to begin the restoration process.

The first challenge they face is fixing the gearbox, which has a worn out synchromesh. Edd takes it apart, cleans and rebuilds it, restoring it to its full functionality. They also discover that the car has a damaged suspension, so they replace the old, worn-out parts with some high-quality ones.

Next, they attempt to improve the car's performance, replacing the old air filter and exhaust with a high-performance setup, boosting the car's horsepower and acceleration. Edd also installs a new clutch kit, smoothing out the gear changes and making it more responsive.

The car's exterior was in good condition, so they focused on bringing its interior back to life. The old seats and carpet were replaced with new ones, and any damaged or worn-out parts were fixed or replaced. They also added some new technology to the car, installing a modern infotainment system for a better driving experience.

After a few final touches, the Skyline is ready for its big reveal. Mike and Edd take it for a test drive, showing off its improved performance and driving experience. They then take it to an auction where they hope to make a decent profit.

Throughout the episode, we get a glimpse of the history and cultural significance of the Nissan Skyline in Japan. With its powerful engine, sleek design, and iconic status in the car world, it's no wonder that the Skyline is a highly sought-after car.
