The first Skyline was introduced in April 1957,[] by the Prince Motor Company, and was marketed as a luxury car. Itfeatured a 1.5 L (1,482 cc) GA-30 engine producing 44 kW (60 hp) at 4,400 rpm.[] It used a de Dion tube rearsuspension and was capable of 140 km/h (87 mph). The car weighed around 1,300 kg. Prince Skylines wereproduced as four-door sedans and five-door station wagons.The Skyline also spawned a pickup truck and a delivery van marketed as the Prince Skyway.

ALSID-2The Skyline was updated with quad headlights for 1958. It was again facelifted in February 1960.[]

This model was powered by a slightly altered 1.5 litre OHV engine known as the GA-4 (1,484 cc) producing about70 PS (51 kW) at 4,800 rpm and was produced through 1961. A 1,862 cc engine was also available in the Skyline1900, delivering 91 PS (67 kW) at 4,800 rpm. This version was introduced in May 1961 and continued in productionuntil the introduction of the second generation Skyline in 1963.[]

In 1962, this model was restyled as the S21D/S series.

BLRA-3The Skyline Sport featured hand-built Michelotti bodies in stylish coupe and convertible versions. These cars usedthe 1.9 L (1,862 cc/113 cu in) GB-30 engine, producing 96 hp (72 kW) and 113.5 ft·lbf (154 Nm). While only a fewhundred were built, Prince Motors had a very aggressive product placement group and they can be seen (along thecompany's mainstream models) in many Toho films of the early 1960s.

In 1961 Fuji Precision Industries changed its name to Prince after the 1954 merger. Two years later, in September1963, the S50 series was launched.[3] Like its predecessor, it came in sedan and wagon bodystyles. This was thesecond generation car, and became one of the more desirable cars in Japan. It was powered by the G-1 engine,[] a70 PS (51 kW) version of the old GA-4. The S50 series were available with a three-speed column shift transmissionor a four-speed floor shift transmission, either as a four-door sedan (S50) or a five-door wagon (W50). Three modelsof the S50 were built: the S50E (1963–1965), S50E-2 (1965–1966), and S50E-3 (1967). These three all used thesame engine, with the later S57 receiving a more modern unit.Externally, this generation was installed with round brake lights and integrated tail lights, with a centrally installedturn signal, similar in appearance to the Ford Galaxie of 1960.The S50 was sold in some markets with an A150 designation. The S50 was also sold as the A190D, which wasequipped with a diesel engine.In 1966, Nissan and Prince merged and the S50 also appeared with Nissan Prince Skyline badging. This model lastedin production through 1967. In 1967, the S50E-3 was introduced. It was sold as Prince Skyline, Prince A150, PMCA150, or Nissan A150, depending on the market.

S54

S54 Skyline 2000GT

Prince created a racing GT Skyline in May 1964. It was based on theS54 and used the larger six-cylinder G-7 engine from the Gloria S41,though the car needed a 200 mm (8 in) extension to the wheelbase (allforward of the cowl/firewall) to provide space in the engine bay for thelankier in-line six. When it entered the second Japanese Grand prixthey hoped to win the GT-II class. Competitive against the Porsche904, the Skyline managed second through to sixth places.

Largely due to the success of the race vehicle, the Prince Skyline2000GT (also called GT-A, GT-B, S54A and S54B) was released tothe Japanese market. There were two versions produced:[]

• S54A – 1,988 cc G-7 single-carb I6, 105 PS (77 kW)• S54B – 1,988 cc G-7 triple-carb I6, 125 PS (92 kW) at 5,600 rpm[3]

The B model featured three Weber 40DCOE-18 carburetors, a limited slip differential, five-speed close ratio manualtransmission, and power brakes. Both the B and A used front disc brakes with dual pistons and alloy finned drums inthe rear.

S57The S50 Skyline was updated to become the S57 in late 1966, for the 1967 model year.[3] It used a new engine ofPrince's (designed before the merger with Nissan), the OHC 1.5 L (1,487 cc) G15. At 88 hp (66 kW), it was themost-powerful engine in the Japanese 1,500 cc class.

The C10 series of 1968, which began its development under Prince atthe company's Ogikubo R&D centre in the suburbs of Tokyo, wasmarketed with a Nissan badge. By the time the C10 went on sale, thePrince nameplate had been completely phased out on cars and trucks.The dealer network selling the cars became the Prince channel ofNissan, and the marketing group stayed at the Prince headquarters inMita instead of moving to Nissan's headquarters in Ginza. The C10Skyline was launched with Prince's 1.5 L OHC G15 I4 like the S57. A1.8 L G18 version was also available. A station wagon variant, knownpreviously as the Prince Skyway, was offered with this generation. Ahardtop coupé was introduced in October 1970.

The brake lights and tail lights were modified to square units, but now included dual units for both the left and rightside of the vehicle.

2000GT-XIn 1971, the KGC10 2000 GT-X received a 2.0 L (1,998 cc) L20 straight-six engine instead of the Prince G-7engine. The chassis was already designed to fit a straight six, to avoid the S54 extension problem. 120 PS (88 kW)was available from this new engine. In March 1972 expanded the lineup to include a four-door GT-X sedan.

2000GTThe following year, the GC10 2000GT received a 2.0 L (1998 cc) L20 I6 engine like the Nissan Cedric instead of aPrince G-7 engine. The chassis was already designed to receive a straight six, to avoid the S54 extension problem.105 hp (78 kW) was available from this new engine, in 1970 Nissan production Skyline 2000GT Automatic, inOctober 1970 Nissan introduced 2 Door Coupe.

GT-RThe first GT-R Skyline appeared in February 1969.[] Called the PGC-10 (KPGC-10 for later coupé version)internally and Hakosuka (ハ コ ス カ) by fans. Hako (ハ コ) means Box in Japanese, and suka( ス カ ) isshort for Skyline (ス カ イ ラ イ ン; Sukairain). It used the 2.0 L (1998 cc) S20 I6. This new DOHC engine(which was designed by the former Prince engineers) produced 160 hp (118 kW, 180 N m), and was similar to theGR8 engine used in the Prince R380 racing car.The GT-R began as a sedan, but a 2-door coupé version was debuted in October 1970 and introduced in March 1971.The cars were stripped of unnecessary equipment to be as light as possible for racing, and performed well at thetrack. The sedan racked up 33 victories in less than two years, and the coupé stretched this to 50 through 1972.[]

The C10 raced against many cars including the Toyota 1600 GT (RT55), Isuzu Bellett GTR, Mazda Familia (R100)& Capella (RX-2) – even Porsche. In late 1971 the new Mazda RX-3 became the GT-R's main rival. The GT-Rmanaged a few more victories before the RX-3 ended the GT-R's winning streak.Models:• 1500 – 1.5 L G15 I4, 88 hp (71 kW, 128 N m)• 1500 – 1.5 L G15 I4, 95 hp (71 kW, 128 N m)• 1800 – 1.8 L G18 I4, 105 hp (78 kW, 150 N m)• 2000GT – 2.0 L L20 I6, 120 hp (90 kW, 167 N m)• 2000GT-R – 2.0 L S20 I6, 160 hp (118 kW, 180 N m)

C110 Nissan Skyline GT-R

The C110 generation was produced from 1972 through 1977.For export in the 1970s, the C110 and GC110 Skyline was sold as theDatsun K-series, with models such as the Datsun 160K, 180K andDatsun 240K.

The body styles were, once again, four-door sedan, two-door hardtopcoupé, and five-door station wagon. The C110 was more fussy in itsstyling than its predecessor, particularly so in wagon form, whereunusually for a wagon design, no windows were fitted between the C

and D pillars. The C110 was the first version to return to the round rear tail and brake lights introduced in 1963 albeitwith dual units from the previous generation, and the appearance has become a traditional Skyline feature.

The C110 Skyline was better known as the "Ken & Mary" or "Kenmeri" (ケ ン メ リ) Skyline, stemming from theadvertisement campaign [4] in Japan at the time which featured a young couple (Ken and Mary) who relaxed andenjoyed the countryside in Ken and Mary's Skyline (ケ ン と メ リ ー の ス カ イ ラ イ ン). The ads werehighly successful and perhaps as a result the C110 was sold in very large numbers in Japan. It sold just as well inAustralia (in a 2.4L 6-cylinder form, badged as "Datsun 240K"), though few survive today. There, the 240K wasabout the same price as a Ford Falcon GT or BMW 5 series, around $5000.

GT-RThe Nissan Skyline GT-R hardtop arrived in September 1972 but only lasted until March 1973, when Nissan ceasedits production. The oil crisis saw many people preferring economy cars and high-performance sports cars werelooked down upon. Nissan pulled out of Motor Racing, so there was no purpose to the GT-R. It was not officiallyexported anywhere, although Nissan contemplated exporting to Australia. Only 197 KPGC110 GT-Rs were eversold in Japan,[] through specialist Nissan Performance shops (before it was called NISMO). This was the last GT-Rfor 16 years until the BNR32 in 1989.Models:• 1600 – 1.6 L G16 I4• 1800 – 1.8 L G18 I4• 2000GT-X – 2.0 L L20A I6, 130 hp (96 kW, 172 N m)• 2000GT-R – 2.0 L S20 I6, 160 hp (118 kW, 180 N m)

The succeeding C210/211 and GC210/211 of 1977 continued to split the Skyline range into basic and six-cylindermodels, the latter with a longer wheelbase and front end. This line continued through 1981. A rare variant would bethe wagon version, which had a unique styling treatment behind the rear doors, of a much smaller window than usualbetween the C and D pillars. The Skyline received an internal and external facelift in late 1978,[] which led to achange of the model code from 210 to 211. This was also when the Skyline first appeared in several European exportmarkets, such as Germany.[]

The GT-EX replaced the discontinued GT-R with a turbocharged engine, the L20ET. As installed in the recentlyrenewed Nissan Cedric/Gloria, this had been the first turbo engine to power a Japanese production vehicle.[] Onenotable aspect of the turbo versions was that they were not intercooled and there was no form of blowoff valve, onlyan emergency pressure release valve. As usual with Japanese cars of this period, there were four- or five-speedmanuals and a three-speed automatic, with a column-shifted three-speed manual available on lower end cars andvans.[]

The "T" designation on the L16T and L18T does not signify a turbocharger was included; it denotes that thoseengines came with twin carburetors. The L-series engines were all switched to the cross-flow Z-series in late 1978.The larger 2.4 litre inline-six was never offered in the domestic Japanese market; having been reserved for export.Export engines were rated in DIN horsepower, so while a Japanese-spec L24 promised 130 ponies, European marketcars with the same engine only claimed 113 PS (83 kW). On the other hand, European buyers could also get the fuelinjected L24E with 127 or 130 PS (93 or 96 kW) DIN, about on par with what the turbocharged GT-EX offered.[5][6]

Originally marketed as the Datsun 240K-GT in Europe, the fuel injected version was sold as the Datsun Skyline inmost markets where it was available. It has a claimed top speed of 186 km/h (116 mph).[]

In June 1980 the two-liter, fuel injected inline-four Z20E engine was added to the lineup, as was the 2.8 literstraight-six GT-Diesel with 91 PS (67 kW).Models:• 1600TI – 1.6 L Z16 I4, 95 PS (70 kW), 13.5 kg·m (132 N·m)• 1800TI – 1.8 L Z18 I4, 105 PS (77 kW), 15.0 kg·m (147 N·m) - the similar L18 received a claimed 77 PS

R30 EX Skyline

The names were brought into line with the home Japanese andworldwide markets with the launch of the R30 series in August 1981,which was built on a C31 Laurel platform. Unlike precedinggenerations, four- and six-cylinder versions now shared a front end ofthe same length. The R30 was available as a two-door hardtop coupe, afour-door sedan, a five-door hatchback (available only in the R30generation), or a four-door station wagon. In all, there were 26variations of the R30 Skyline available.

All versions with the exception of the wagon were usually fitted withthe four round tail lights that had become a regular feature to the

Page 12: Nissan Skyline

1981–1983 Nissan Skyline (R30) 2.4E sedan(Australia)

Skyline's design. The wagon had different tail lights, headlights, and noturbo or six-cylinder versions available. It more closely resembled aNissan Sunny than a Skyline. The two-door coupé had a hardtop,pillarless design, and featured roll-down quarter windows for the rearseat passengers (a styling feature of the previous C10, C110, and C211coupes), while four-door versions had a traditional sedan body stylewith framed windows.

Notably, configurations of the R30 sold in Australia and New Zealandwere missing the traditional hotplate tail lights, instead opting for more conventional styling. Export markets alsoreceived some larger (albeit less powerful) engines, in the form of 2.4 and a 2.8 liter inline-sixes of 120 PS (88 kW)or 139 PS (102 kW). The 2.8 was added in September 1982.[]

Various engine configurations were available, initially ranging from the top of the line 103 kW SOHC 6-cylinderturbo L20ET to the 4-cylinder Z18S and 6-cylinder LD28 diesel versions at the other end of the scale. The all-new16-valve DOHC FJ20 engine debuted in late 1981, and was the first four-cylinder engine from any Japanesemanufacturer to employ more than two valves per cylinder (see below). Some of the top spec models featuredadjustable suspension dampers that could be adjusted while driving, this was another first for mass-produced JDMvehicles. Nissan Glorias and Laurels also used the L series engines, as well as some diesel (Laurel only) variants.The R30 range was facelifted in August 1983 with various changes across the board; for example four-wheel discbrakes were now standard issue, instead of being optional for lower-spec models. Trim specifications were revisedand the 4-cylinder Z18S engine was replaced with the newer CA18E. Features included upgraded interior trim, newfront and rear bumpers, door-mounted wing mirrors (replacing the old 'hockey stick' fender mirrors), and smoked taillights.

Paul Newman VersionDuring 1983 the Paul Newman Version R30 was released to commemorate the association between Nissan and theactor Paul Newman, who used to appear in promotional material, as well as race for the company during thelate-1970s and early-1980s. The Newman Skyline was simply a top spec GT-ES turbo with signature embroideryand decals.

RS

Facelift DR30 RS-Turbo Skyline, nicknamed"Iron Mask" for its distinctive front end treatment

Although making about the same power as the L20ET-powered GT-ESmodels, the version of the Skyline initially known as the 2000RS wasreleased on October 2, 1981 as more of a stripped-down lightweightracer, without as many luxury extras included (quoted curb weight wasonly 1,130 kg (2,500 lb)). These were equipped with the naturallyaspirated 4-valve-per-cylinder DOHC FJ20E engine generating110 kW (150 PS; 148 hp) of power at 6,000 rpm and 181 N·m(133 lb·ft) of torque at 4,800 rpm. The official Nissan chassisdesignation for all FJ20-powered models was DR30.

In February 1983 the DR30 range received a significant boost inperformance with the introduction of the turbocharged FJ20ET engine

in the 2000RS-Turbo. Front brakes were also significantly upgraded to cope with the power increase. Now with140 kW (190 PS; 188 hp) of

DR30 RS-Turbo

power at 6,400 rpm and 225 N·m (166 lb·ft) of torque at 4,800 rpm ontap, the FJ20ET enjoyed new-found prestige as the most powerfulJapanese production engine of its era.

Nissan sought to elevate the status of the DR30 Skyline as their newflagship model in light of this success, and it received a generousamount of changes to distinguish it from lesser Skyline models inAugust 1983. Interior equipment was significantly upgraded to nowinclude electric windows, air conditioning and power steering asstandard in the new RS-X model (for Extra) with an increased curbweight of around 1,235 kg (2,723 lb); gone were the days of the

spartan, stripped-out race interior, although this could still be specified at time of purchase. But by far the moststriking change to the RS was the new unique front end treatment, nicknamed Tekkamen (鉄 仮 面) or Iron Maskby fans for its distinctive look. The headlights were considerably slimmer, and instead of a conventional grille thebonnet now sloped down to two narrow slits above a facelifted front bumper and airdam.[7]

Further changes were made in 1984, most notably the addition of an intercooler, revised compression ratios andturbocharger exhaust housing to the FJ20ET powered model, now known as the RS-Turbo C and increasing output to205 PS (151 kW) of power at 6,400 rpm and 245 N·m (181 lb·ft) of torque at 4400 rpm. An automatic transmissionoption was also added at this time, and changes to the "PLASMA Spark" ignition system followed in early 1985towards the end of R30 production.To this day the FJ20-powered R30 Skyline remains a cult car both at home and overseas (there are still dedicated"one make" drag racing events for this model in Japan), and is credited with rejuvenating the Skyline brand in theearly 1980s. It also paved the way for the eventual re-introduction of the legendary GT-R badge, markedly absentsince the end of C110 Skyline production in 1973.The RS achieved moderate success in Australian Touring car racing in the mid-1980s with Nissan winning the 1986Australian Manufacturers' Championship[8] and sharing victory in the 1987 Australian Manufacturers' Championshipwith BMW.[9]

The R31 Skyline of 1986 was a natural evolution on the R30 shape,and also this one was loosely based on the Laurel platform (C32). Thedesign was slightly larger and squarer than previous Skylines. It wasavailable as a Sedan, Hardtop sedan, Coupe and station wagon.Affectionately known as the "Seventhsu" or simply "7th Sukairain" byowners, due to it being the 7th-generation Skyline.The R31 Skyline introduced many new technologies and features. TheHR31 was the first Skyline to be equipped with the new RB-series ofengines. The R31 RB engines are often referred to as "Red Top"engines because of the red cam covers. There were three variants. Theearliest series of DOHC RB engines used the NICS (Nissan InductionControl System) injection system with 12 very small intake runners,and a butterfly system to divide the intake ports in half for better lowRPM performance. Later versions used ECCS (ElectronicallyConcentrated Control System) engine management, discarded thetwelve tiny runners for six much larger ones (though they retainedtwelve ports on the head, so there was a splitter plate), and received aslightly larger turbocharger. Nissan's RD28, a 2.8 straight-6 engine,featured for a diesel option. Another technological first for the R31

was the introduction of Nissan's proprietary 4-wheel steering system, dubbed HICAS (High Capacity ActiveSteering). The R31 series were also the only models in the Skyline family to feature a 4-door hardtop variation.These models were generally badged as the Passage GT.

The R31 Skyline was also produced in Australia, with a 3.0 L motor (RB30E) available in sedan or wagon form, aswell as a four-cylinder version called the Nissan Pintara. The wagon had the same front style as the coupe andsedan—the only difference being that it lacked the four round brake lights that had been a consistent element ofSkyline design (except for the R31 series one/two which had rectangular taillights with a solid bar through the centrewhich was also shared by the Pintara). These cars were manufactured in Australia due to the heavy import lawswhich made it expensive to bring cars into Australia.29,305 R31 Skylines were also manufactured and sold in South Africa in 4-door sedan form between 1987 and 1992.These were the last Skylines seen in South Africa. Power came from either the RB30E 3.0 straight-6 motor, RB20E2.0 straight-6 motor or the CA20S 4-cylinder powerplant.

GTS-RThe ultimate version of the R31 was the RB20DET-R powered HR31 GTS-R Coupe of which 800 units were built toallow homologation for Group A Touring Car racing. It had a reworked version of the normal RB20DET with amuch larger turbocharger on a tubular steel exhaust manifold, as well as a much larger front-mounted intercoolerboosting power to a factory claimed 210 ps (154 kW), with racing versions making over 430 hp (321 kW) in GroupA trim.

The R32 Skyline debuted in May 1989. It was available as either a 2-door coupe or 4-door hardtop sedan, all otherbodystyles were dropped. The R32 featured several versions of the RB-series straight-6 engines, which hadimproved heads (the twelve port inlet was gone) and used the ECCS (Electronically Concentrated Control System)injection system. Also available was an 1,800 cc 4-cylinder GXi model. Most models had HICAS four-wheelsteering, with the rear wheels being hydraulically linked to the front steering. The 2.5-litre GTS-25 became one ofthe first Japanese production cars to feature a 5-speed automatic transmission. The GTS-t came in standard and TypeM configurations, with the Type M having larger five-stud 16-inch wheels, four piston front callipers and twin pistonrears plus other minor differences. ABS was optional (except for the GT-R and GTS-4), mechanical LSD wasstandard on the GTR and viscous LSD was standard on all turbo models and optional on all but the GXi. Nissan alsoproduced 100 Australian models of the R32.

The RB26DETT engine actually produced ~320 PS,[citation needed] but itwas unstated due to the Japanese car makers' "gentlemen's agreement"not to exceed 280 PS (276 hp). The engine was designed for ~500 hpin racing trim,[] and then muzzled by the exhaust, boost restriction, andECU. The electronic boost control had a small physical restriction inthe control lines. It was marked in yellow so the new owner couldremove it and enjoy a safe factory boost increase.[] After this increasethe car would put out ~310 hp (~230 kW) and could do 0–100 km/h in4.7seconds and quarter mile in 12.8 seconds.[citation needed]

The GT-R had a significantly larger intercooler, larger brakes, andaluminium front guards and bonnet. Other distinguishing featuresinclude flared front and rear wheel arches. More supportive seats werefitted, and the turbo boost gauge and digital clock were removed frominside the instrument cluster. The clock was replaced with a torquemeter that indicated how much torque was being delivered to the frontwheels (0%–50%). Oil temp, voltage, and turbo boost gauges werefitted just above the climate control.

The Porsche 959 was Nissan's target when designing the GT-R. Thechief engineer, Naganori Itoh, intended to use the car for Group A

racing, so the design specification was drawn up in conjunction with a copy of the Group A rules. The Nordschleifeproduction car record at the time of development was 8'45" – set by a Porsche 944. Nissan test driver HiroyoshiKatoh reset the record with a time of 8'20".[] Best Motoring managed 8'22"38.[]

The R32 GT-R dominated Japanese Touring Car Championship (JTCC), winning 29 races from 29 starts, taking theseries title every year from 1989 to 1993.[] It took 50 races from 50 starts from 1991 to 1997 (latterly R33) in the N1Super Taikyu.The R32 GT-R was introduced into the Australian Touring Car Championship in 1990 and promptly ended the reignof the previously all-conquering Ford Sierra Cosworth, winning Bathurst 1000 classic in 1991 and 1992. Thissuccess led to the Australian motoring press nicknaming the car Godzilla due to it being a "monster from Japan". AsAustralia was the first export market for the car the name quickly spread. Such was GT-R's dominance that it was asignificant factor in the demise of Group A Touring Car racing, the formula being scrapped soon after. JTCC wassimilarly blighted by the R32 GT-R, and splintered soon after, leading to the switch to the Supertouring category andalso indirectly to the GT500 category of today.When originally designed, the homologation rulebook mandated 16-inch wheels, so that's what the GT-R got. This limited the size of the brakes, and the Nissan four pots weren't really up to competition use. A later change in rules allowed 17-inch wheels, so in February 1993 the GT-R V-spec (for Victory) emerged wearing 17" BBS mesh

wheels(225/50/17) covering larger Brembo brakes. The clutch actuation changed from a push to a pull system, thecar had the standard rear differential, the electronic rear differential did not show up until the R33 Vspec. A yearlater the V-Spec II appeared with a new sticker and wider tires (245/45 17).[]

The Nismo Skyline GT-R is a limited (500 street, 60 racing) version of Nissan Skyline with Nissan RB engine withtwin ceramic turbochargers rated 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) at 6,800 rpm and 353 N·m (260 lb·ft) at 4,400 rpm,all-wheel steering, electronically controlled four-wheel drive.[10]

It was reported the vehicle was imported to the United States by Sean Morris under the 'Show or Display' rule, whereNHTSA allow importing of nonconforming vehicles for purposes of show or display, if the vehicle is of suchhistorical or technological significance that it is in the public interest to show or display the vehicle in the UnitedStates even though it would be difficult or impossible to bring the vehicle into compliance with the Federal motorvehicle safety standards.[11][12]

1993–1996 Nissan Skyline (R33) GTS25t coupe

The R33 Skyline was introduced in August 1993. Slightly heavier thanthe R32, it is available in coupe and sedan bodystyles. All models nowused a 6-cylinder engine. Nissan took the unusual step ofdown-grading the GTS model to have only the RB20E, while thetwin-cam of the R32 GTS was discontinued along with the 2.0 L turboRB20DET.

Some models came equipped with a new version of the HICAS4-wheel steering system called Super HICAS. This computer

controlled system was first used on the R32 GT-R. Super HICAS used electric actuators to steer the rear, as opposedto the hydraulic HICAS. This generation was no longer considered a "compact" under Japanese legislation thatdetermined the amount of tax liability based on exterior dimensions.

As an option, an active limited slip differential was available instead of the standard viscous LSD. This new unitlocked the rear differential if it detected that traction was lost by one of the wheels. A light on the dash also lit up ifthe LSD engaged. Active LSD came standard on all V-Spec R33 GT-R Skylines and was also available on someECR33 GTS-25t models; these can be identified by the A-LSD and SLIP lights on the tachometer.The RB25DE and RB25DET engines also became equipped with NVCS (variable inlet cam phasing). NVCSequipped RB's have a bulge on the front of the cam cover. To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Nissan introduced avery rare 4-door GT-R. Two versions of the 4-door GT-R were available from Nissan's subsidiaries: the first wasproduced by Autech, and the second was a joint Autech/Nismo project.A Nissan Laurel C34 based wagon was released in September 1996, called the Stagea. It is widely regarded as acompatriot of the Skyline, rather than the Laurel it was based on, owing to drivetrain configurations-- CommonlyAWD using ATTESA ET-S. A common modification on the Stagea is to fit it with an R34 skyline front, in effectmaking an R34-lookalike wagon. A manual transmission was only available on the RS-Four and RS-Four V models.There was also an Autech tuned Stagea, the 260RS; released with full GT-R running gear, including an RB26DETTengine and manual transmission, a unique body kit, 17" BBS style alloys, and GT-R instrumentation.[]

The R33 Skyline (Series 2) continued the concepts introduced in theR32. Driver and Passenger airbags became standard in 1996. As aresult, pre-1996 models are barred from being imported into variouscountries for consumer road use as they do not meet the frontal impactstandards[citation needed]. For the RB25DET engine the ignition systemwas also changed, with the ignition module no longer located on thecam covers and was instead replaced by smart ignition coils (Ignitorbuilt into coil) and ECU. The RB25DET turbo was also given aCeramic compressor wheel. Throughout the time the R33 wasproduced there were quite a number of different styled lights and

bodykits fitted, the actual body/chassis underwent no changes. Among the cosmetic changes in the series 2 were, theheadlights which tapered down more towards the grill and were fitted with improved reflectors, the grill (which waslonger on the Series 1), the bonnet which had a re-shaped leading edge to fit the new lights and front bumperchanging shape in the smallest amount to match the lower edge of the new headlights. Later models of the Series 2also had the option of having an Active-LSD fitted. The R33 ceased production in February 1998 with the 40thAnniversary R33 Series 3.

The BCNR33 GT-R version also had the same RB26DETT engine thatthe BNR32 was equipped with, although torque had been improved,due to changes in the turbo compressor aerodynamics, turbo dumppipe, and intercooler. The turbo core changed from a sleeve bearing toa ball bearing, but the turbine itself remained ceramic, except on N1turbos (steel turbine, sleeve bearing). From the R33 onward, all GT-Rsreceived Brembo brakes.[13] In 1995 the GT-R received an improvedversion of the RB26DETT, the ATTESA-ETS four-wheel-drivesystem, and Super HICAS 4-wheel steering.

A limited edition model was created in 1996, called the NISMO 400R,that produced 400 hp (298 kW) from a road-tuned version of Nissan'sLe Mans engine.[14] A stronger six-speed Getrag gearbox was used.

An R33 GT-R driven by Dirk Schoysman lapped the Nordschleife inless than 8 minutes. Though it was often said to be the first productioncar to break 8 minutes, the limited run Jaguar XJ220 had alreadyachieved a 7'46" lap.[15] Other manufacturers had caught up since theR32 was released, and the R33 never dominated motorsport to theextent of the R32.

In May 1998, the EN34, HR34, ER34 and BNR34 marked the introduction of the more fuel-efficient andenvironmentally friendly RB25DET NEO engine. The RB20E engine was discontinued in the R34 base model (GT),and the RB20DE, after last being used in the R32 Skyline, was reintroduced in updated NEO guise. The R34 GTpowered by the RB20DE NEO, coupled with a 5-speed gearbox, became the most fuel-efficient straight-6 Skyline todate (of any shape). " The 4-speed automatic transmission available on some models in the previous two shapes werediscontinued. In its place, Nissan produced a 4-speed Tiptronic transmission for all of the automatic versions (Exceptthe base 2.0L, which has a standard 5-speed gearbox). Only the GT-T coupe variant was sold in New Zealand andHong Kong from 1997 to 2000 respectively. They were the only two countries besides Japan that sold the R34 GT-Tmodel Skylines new. The Nissan Skyline rivals are the Toyota Supra and the Mazda RX-7.Models:

Initial release

2001–2003 Nissan Skyline 250GT FOUR

The 11th-generation (V35) Nissan Skyline, introduced in June 2001,was based on Nissan's FM platform, shared with the Nissan 350Z. TheNissan Skyline used a front-midship engine (VQ35DE and others asbelow), rear-wheel-drive layout[] (four-wheel drive was available forthe sedan) to achieve a 52%/48% weight distribution. The V35 was thefirst Skyline made for export to the United States. There it was soldunder the company's luxury brand, Infiniti as the Infiniti G35.

The V35 broke with Skyline tradition. There was no straight-6, noturbo, and no GT-R, a decision which extended to all later Skylines.The intention had been for the model to use a different name, adecision reversed by Renault/Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn.[22] whochoose to gear the V35 towards the luxury-sport market. Billing the350Z as a pure sports car, Nissan put a slightly more powerfulVQ35DE in the 350Z, and while the Skyline and the 350Z shared thesame platform, the 350Z had additional bracing, under-body aero parts,and weighed 100 kg less.[] Some fans refer to V35 as the "New

Generation Skyline" due to drastic changes between the V35 series and its R34 predecessor.

Japanese tuners mostly ignored the V35 Skyline, the 2006 Tsukuba Super Lap Battle had not a single V35 entrant.[]

Tuners such as Mines, Amuse, Hosaka, Garage Defend, M Speed, Nagisa, MCR, HKS, & Top Secret continueddeveloping R32-R34 GT-Rs as time attack cars. Top Secret did tune a V35, but replaced the VQ35DE with aVK45DE V8 Twin Turbo.[] Signal USA entered a V35 in Formula D, replacing the VQ35DE with an SR20DET.[]
