JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, a manga and an anime. There has been significant demand for imported Skylines in the United States, but because Nissan does not officially import the car to the American market, the process is difficult and expensive.

This will mark the first time the Nissan Skyline GT-R will compete in a professional road race series in North America. As a precursor to the introduction of the GT-R in the United States, privateer Igor Sushko has announced plans of racing the R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R N1in SCCA's SPEED World Challenge Series (GT Class). VQ30DETT has been already successfully tested in JGTC in an R34 Skyline GT-R during 2003, where the GT-R came out a victor in GT500 class, while a naturally aspirated VQ35DE-powered Nissan 350Z took the GT300 class prize. The car is expected to sport a Nissan VQ V6 engine with twin-turbos.

In 2008, Nissan may begin sales of the next generation GT-R in America under the Infiniti badge - priced to compete with the Chevrolet Corvette and Porsche Boxster. In the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan will unveil the GT-R PROTO, a prototype version of the 2007 GT-R, it is revelead that the next GT-R will be a purebred sports car not based on a sedan chassis like the previous models, however no engine and drivetrain details have been given although a GT-R Prototype Mule spotted at Nürburgring was doing a shakedown testing session to evaluate the GT-R's suspension, which is being tuned by Lotus at their development center in England. Meanwhile, in tracks around the world, most notably the Nurburgring, development mules disguised as V35 Skylines have been seen running tests. In 2003 then Nissan president Carlos Ghosn announced that Nissan would release the a new GT-R, probably as a 2007 model and would do so all over the world and not just in Japan and select right-hand drive markets (Britain and New Zealand).

During the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan showed the Nissan GT-R "the 35th Tokyo Motor Show" Concept (with the Skyline moniker noticeably absent) showing the design direction for a future GT-R.
. See Infiniti G35. Models:.

All GT-R models use the RB series engine, and all models of the Skyline have an approximate top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). It has held many track records and won many JGTC championships. In 1999, a revised chassis and incremental updates to the GT-R model proved once and for all that the R34 was one of the fastest all-around cars in the world. Models:.

In its place Nissan produced a 4 speed tip-tronic transmission for all of the automatic versions. The 5 speed automatic transmission available on some models in the previous 2 shapes was discontinued. The R34 GT powered by the RB20de and 5 speed gearbox becomes the most fuel efficient straight six Skyline to date of any shape. The RB20e engine was discontinuted in the R34 base model (GT) and the RB20DE reintroduced after last being used in the R32 Skyline.

In May 1998 the HR/ER/ENR34 addressed many of the concerns over the change from the R32 to the R33, with focused emphasis on sportiness.
. A limited edition model was created in 1996, called the NISMO 400R, that produced 400 hp (298 kW). 1995 saw the GT-R get an improved version of the RB26DETT, the ATTESA-ETS all wheel drive system, and Super HICAS all-wheel steering.

The BCNR33 GT-R version also had the same RB26DETT engine that the BNR32 was equipped with, although torque had been improved. The R33 ceased production in March 1998 with the 40th Anniversary R33 SII. Among the cosmetic changesin the series 2 were, the headlights which tapered down more towards the grill and were fitted with improved reflectors, the grill which was longer, the bonnet which had a re-shaped leading edge to fit the new lights and front bumper changing shape in the smallest amount to match the lowere edge of the new headlights. Throughout the time the R33 was produced there were quite a number of different styled lights and bodykits fitted, the actual body/chassis underwent no changes.

The turbo was also given a nylon compressor wheel. The ignition system was also changed, with the ignition module no longer located on the cam covers and was instead replaced by improved ignition coils and ECU. Drivers airbags became standard in 1995 as they had been only an option up until this time, passenger side airbags remained an option. The R33 Skyline (Series 2) continued the concepts introduced in the R32, and furthered them.

R33 models:. There was also a Stagea releasd with full GT-R running gear, the RB26DETT engine, and manual transmission. Presumably, a 5 speed 4WD Skyline equipped with an RB25DET would have been too close in performance to the much more expensive GT-R. Unlike the R33 Skyline, the Stagea is the only four wheel drive manual transmission Nissan with the RB25DET engine.

A common modification on the Stagea is to fit it with an R34 skyline front, in effect making a 4 door R34 wagon. It had a different body style than the R33 and R34 and (with the exception of the RS FOUR variant) was only available with an automatic transmission. A wagon based on the R33/R34 platform was released in September 1996, called the Stagea. Two versions of the 4-door GT-R were avaiable from Nissan's subsidiaries: the first was produced by Autech, and the second was a joint Autech/Nismo project.

To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Nissan introduced a very rare 4 door GT-R. NVCS engines can be identified from non-NVCS RB engines by the cam gear cover— the NVCS RB has a bulge on the cam gear cover, at the end of the inlet cam. This should not be confused with VTEC-type cam timing, as NVCS only adjusts the rotation of the cam and does not alter the lift or duration of the valves. The RB25DE and RB25DET engines also became equipped with Nissan Variable Cam System (NVCS) on the inlet cam.

Active LSD came standard on all V-spec R33 GT-R Skylines. A light on the dash also lit up if the LSD engaged. This new unit locked the rear differential if it detected that traction was lost by one of the wheels. As an option, an active limited slip differential was available instead of the standard viscous LSD.

It moved the rear wheels via a small electric motor situated on the rear differential instead of being a hydraulic type 4ws unit such as on the R32. This computer-controlled four wheel steering system was previously featured on the R32. Some models came equipped with a new version of the HICAS 4-wheel steering system called Super HICAS. As with the R32, all automatic transmissions on the 2.5 litre models were 5 speed, all 2 litre and turbo 2.5 litre automatic models were equipped with a 4 speed transmission.

Nissan took the unusual step of down grading the GTS model to have only the RB20E, while the twin-cam of the R32 GTS was discontinued along with the 2.0 L turbo RB20DET. Slightly heavier than the R32, and available as a 2 and 4 door, all models now used a 6-cylinder engine. After the R32 ceased production, the R33 Skyline was introduced in August 1993. The HR32 GT-R Skylines also featured Super HICAS, the same type of 4 wheel steer the R33 model was to get.

However, the GT-R's impressive successes sounded the death knell of Group A Touring Car racing; with the formula being scrapped soon after. The R32 GT-R was introduced in the Australian Bathurst 1000 touring-car race to compete against Holden and Ford V8 saloons. This model soon earned the name Godzilla, for its impressive performance on the track. Inside the instrument cluster the clock was replaced with a torque meter that indicated how much torque was being dellivered to the front wheels (0%-50%), beneath the climate control 3 auxiliary gauges were also fitted, oil temp, voltage and turbo boost.

The clock was relocated to the left of the steering wheel into the instrument surround. Inside was much the same as other models except that race seats were fitted, the turbo boost gauge and digital clock was removed from inside the instrument cluster. Apart from wearing the GT-R badge, other distinguishing features include wider front and rear wheel arches (also applies for the R33 and R34 GTR models) and a small grille under the flat bonnet. The GT-R also had a larger intercooler, larger brakes, and aluminum front wheel arches and bonnet.

The GT-R had Super HICAS which was a more advanced four wheel system using electric actuators and a computer to control the system. This was also the first model since 1973 to have the GT-R badge. In reality, the RB26DETT engine produced more power than this, but it was not stated as there was a "gentleman's agreement" between the major Japanese car makers not to produce production vehicles exceeding 206 kW (276 hp). Also new was a twin-turbo Skyline GT-R model with ceramic turbochargers, all-wheel steering, all wheel drive, and 280 hp (208 kW) at 6800 rpm.

In Japan, the RB engine is often swaped for an SR20DET (4 cylinder turbo) to make the car better balanced. All 3 cars are very popular in Japan (and other countries to which they are imported secondhand) for drift racing. Also based on the Skyline platform was the A31 Cefiro and C33 Laurel. Most Turbo R32s were M spec but a few were not—these had larger brakes than the non-turbos but smaller than the M spec.

The R32 also came in M spec level which had bigger brakes, bigger alloy wheels and leather bound steering wheel/handbrake/gearstick. R32 Models:. All 2 litre turbo and non turbo versions with automatic transmssions were 4 speed. The 2.5 litre version became one of the first cars made in Japan to feature a 5 speed automaic transmission.

HICAS four wheel steering was available on most models, with the rear wheels being hydraulically linked to the front steering. It would feature several potent versions of the RB-series straight-6 engines as well as an 1800 cc 4 cylinder GXi model. This series was available as either a hardtop 2-door or 4-door sedan/saloon. The BNR32 Skyline debuted in May 1988, beginning the revitalization of the model.

'South Africa'. 'Australia'. America: 4-4-2 2.0 I6-249 hp{official Olds-licensed nameplate. Models: 'Japan'.

These models were generally badged as the Passage GT. The R31 series were also the only models in the Skyline family to feature a 4-door hardtop variation. Another technological first for the R31 was the introduction of Nissan's proprietary 4-wheel steering system, dubbed HICAS (High Capacity Active Steering). Also new to the lineup was the Diesel-powered variants, using Nissan's RD28, a 2.8 straight-6 engine.

The HR31 was the first Skyline to be equipped with the new RB-series of engines. The R31 Skyline introduced many new technologies and features that were improved upon in later models. Power came from either the RB30E 3.0 straight-6 motor, RB20E 2.0 straight-6 motor or the CA20S 4-cylinder powerplant. These were the last Skylines seen in South Africa, and most had been purchased in Japan.

29,305 R31 Skylines were also manufactured and sold in South Africa in 4-door sedan form between 1987 and 1989. These cars were manufactured in Australia due to the heavy import laws which made it expensive to bring cars into Australia. The wagon had the same front style as the coupe and sedan—the only difference being that it lacked the four round brake lights that had been a consistent element of Skyline design. The R31 Skyline was also produced in Australia, with a 3.0 motor (RB30E) available in sedan or wagon form, as well as a four-cylinder version called the Nissan Pintara.

The design was slightly larger and squarer than previous Skylines. The HR31 Skyline of 1986 was a natural evolution on the HR30 shape and featured RB-series straight-6 engines, which would go on to make this car a legend with drivers all over the world. In Japan there are still dedicated "one make" drag racing for the FJ20 powered FJR30 Skylines. Nissan Glorias and Laurels also used the LT series engines as well as some diesel (Laurel only) variants.

Some of the top spec GT-ES models featured adjustable suspension dampers that could be adjusted while driving, this was a first for mass produced JDM vehicles. Although making about the same power, the FJ-engined version was more of a racer without as many heavy extras on the car (electric windows, air conditioning, etc). The 1983 R30 version now sported four wheel disc brakes as standard (optional until this time) and various engines, the best models being the twin cam 4 cylinder turbo FJ20 or the single cam 6 cylinder turbo LT20ET. Models:.

The 4 door had traditional framed door windows. The 2 door version had pillarless doors and the unusual feature of electric roll-down quarter windows for the rear seat passengers. All versions with the exception of the wagon were usually fitted with the four round tail lights that had become a regular feature to the Skylines' design. In all, there were 26 variations.

The wagon version was the ugly ducking of the range with different lights and no turbo or six cylinder versions available, it more closely resembled a Nissan Sunny than Skyline. The FJR30 was available as a four door sedans, a two door coupe, a 2800cc diesel (4 door sedan only), a four door hatchback version and a 4 door wagon version. and Japanese markets with the launch of the FJR30 series in 1981, which was built on a C31 Laurel platform. The names were brought into line with the home U.S.

Models:. It was not until the R32 powered with the RB20DET arrived that a factory blowoff valve and intercooler were fitted. One notable aspect of the turbo versions was that they were not intercooled and there was no form of blowoff valve. The GT-ES replaced the GT-R with a turbocharged engine, the L20ET, This was the first turbo engine to power a Japanese production vehicle.

A rare variant would be the wagon version, which had a unique stylng treatment behind the rear doors, of a much smaller window than usual between the C and D pillars. The Datsun 240K/280K and 240C/280C variants continued for export. This line continued through 1981. The succeeding C211 and GC211 of 1977 continued to split the Skyline range into basic and six-cylinder models, the latter with a longer front end.

A special 4-4-2{licensed from Olds}model was planned for mass production, but only 875 were built. It was also rumored that this model (KPGC110) was only produced by Nissan to get rid of the left over engines from the KPGC10 GT-R's. This GT-R was better known as the "Ken-mary" GT-R, since its catchphrase was: "Ken and Mary's GT-R" as they were the adverts' stars at the time. Only 197 GT-Rs were sold in Japan, and not only was this the last GT-R for 16 years, this was the last GT-R the Japanese could ever get through an actual Nissan dealership.

The Nissan Skyline GT-R hardtop arrived in 1971 but was not officially exported to any other countries besides Japan. The C110 was more fussy in its styling than its predecessor. The body styles were, once again, four-door sedan, two-door hardtop coupé, and five-door station wagon. For export in the 1970s, the C110 and GC110 Skyline was sold as the Datsun K-series, with models such as the Datsun 160K, 180K and 240K.

There were four versions of the car:. The C110 generation was produced from 1972 through 1977. One such driver who was known for this was the Drift King Keiichi Tsuchiya. It is claimed that the art of drifting began among Japanese racers when they purposely engaged their emergency brakes as a way to counter understeer on their GT-Rs.

This car was also a favorite of reckless street racers who roamed the streets at night at that time. This GT-R (the KPGC-10) is said to have been a rival of Mazda's third rotary engine machine, the RX-3, and it is said that the two cars performed a desperate struggle for victory at the circuits. The sedan racked up 33 victories in less than two years, and the coupe stretched this to 50 through 1972. The cars were stripped of unnecessary equipment to be as light as possible for racing, and the cars performed well at the track.

The GT-R began as a sedan, but a 2-door coupe version was introduced in March of 1971. This new engine produced 160 hp (119 kW), equal to the best sports cars of the time, and was similar to the GR8 engine used in the Nissan R380 racing car. Called the PGC-10 (KPGC-10 for later coupe' version) internally and as the Hakosuka among fans, it used the 2.0 L (1998 cc) S20 I6. The first GT-R Skyline appeared in February 1969.

105 hp (78 kW) was available from this new engine. The following year, the GC10 2000GT got a longer front end to accommodate a 2.0 L (1998 cc) L20 I6 engine. A hardtop coupé was introduced in 1970. A station wagon variant was offered in this generation.

A 1.8 L G18 version was also available. It used Nissan's 1.5 L OHC G15 I4 like the S57. There was no Prince equivalent on the market. The C10 series of 1968, probably developed by Prince, got Nissan badging.

At 88 hp (66 kW), it was the most-powerful engine in the Japanese 1500 cc class. It used a Nissan engine, the OHC 1.5 L (1487 cc) G15. The S50 Skyline was updated to become the S57 in 1967. Both the B and A used front disc brakes with dual pistons.

The B model featured three Weber 40DCOE-18 carburetors, a limited slip differential, 5-speed manual transmission, and power brakes. There were two versions produced:. Largly due to the success of their race vehicle the Prince 2000GT (also called GT-A, GT-B, S54A and S54B) was released to the Japanese market. Competitive against the Porsche 904, the Skyline managed 2nd through to 6th places.

When it entered the 2nd Japanese Grand prix they hoped to win the GT-II class. It was based on the S54 and used the the larger 6-cylinder G-7 engine from the Gloria S40, though the engine compartment needed modification to fit that long engine. Prince created a racing GT Skyline In May 1964. Only a few were built.

These cars used the 1.9 L (1862 cc) GB-30 engine, producing 83 hp (61 kW). The Skyline Sport featured hand-built Michelotti bodies in stylish coupe and convertible versions. This model lasted in production through 1967. In 1966, Nissan and Prince merged and the S50 also appeared with Nissan Skyline badging.

The S50 was further developed with new styling for 1963, and was sold in some markets with an A150 designation. In 1962, this model was restyled as the S21S series. A 1,862 cm³ engine was also available, delivering 91 hp. It was powered by the G-1 engine, a 70 hp (52 kW) version of the old GA-4.

This was the second generation car, and became one of the more desirable cars in Japan. In 1961 Fuji Precision Industries changed its name to Prince after the 1954 merger, and the S50 series was launched. This model was powered by the same 1.5L engine and was produced through 1961. The Skyline was updated with quad headlights for 1957.

The Skyline also spawned pickup truck and van lines called the “Prince Skyway.”. Prince Skylines were produced as four door sedans and five door station wagons. The car weighed around 1,300 kg. It used a de Dion tube rear suspension and was capable of 87 mph (140 km/h).

It featured a 1.5 L (1482 cc) GA-4 engine producing 60 hp (44 kW). The first Skyline was introduced in 1952, under the Prince marque in America and was marketed as a luxury car. . It is available in either coupe or sedan body styles, and is sold in North America, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Middle East as the Infiniti G35.
