JDM Legendary Skyline GT-R
Many people only know Nissan Skyline from the version R32 onwards. But in fact the Nissan Skyline have started its legend since 1957. The first Skyline is call Prince Skyline is powered by a 1484cc engine.
Prince Skyline (1957)
Of all the first gen Skylines, the most exotic has to be the Skyline Sport which was launched in the early '60s. The bodywork was done by Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti, and the car was shown at Torino International Motor Show in 1960. When looking at it, the car does have a very European feel to it, and the angled headlights remind me of Chrysler 300C of the same the vintage. There was even a convertible version produced. The Skyline Sports also marked the model's first moves towards becoming a performance-focused car as it packed a 1.9L four cylinder that made 96ps. The Skyline Sports models were sold in very low numbers and are extremely rare today.
Skyline Gen2 (1960) Concept
Of the second generation Skylines, the best known is the S54 model, which debuted in 1964. The car pictured here is the racing version which was campaigned in the 1964 Japan Grand Prix. The race car had a 2.0L inline six that made 165ps, which was some serious power in the mid '60s. The '64 Japan GP was won by a Porsche 904, but the Skylines took 2nd-6th place consecutively. The experience of the S54's would be very valuable when it came to upcoming Skyline GT-R program.
Skyline S54 (1964)
And now we have the car which everyone is probably familiar with, the C10 series Hakosuka Skylines. In case you didn't know, the term "Hakosuka" comes from the car's boxy styling. Hako means "box" in Japanse and comes from the first part of the Skyline name. The C10 was launched in 1968 and by that time Prince and Nissan had completed their merger and the car would be badged as a Nissan. The early models were available only with four cylinder engines, but the L20 inline sixes were added later on. The 2000GT models would go on to become the favorite of Japan's early hot rodders and tuners.
The bigger news of course, was the debut of the 2000 GT-R model in 1969. The Haoksuka GT-R had the twin cam S20 inline six which was derived from the engine from the R380 race car. The PGC10 GT-R sedans dominated racing starting in May, 1969 at the JAF Grand Prix race at Fuji Speedway. In 1971 the KPGC10 GT-R coupe was introduced and it continued the GT-R's streak of racing dominance with the new, sleeker body.
In Japan, the Hakosuka GT-R is arguably the most famous domestic car, and the Hakosuka Skyline in general is now an icon among Japanese car enthusiasts around the world.
Hakosuka Skylines 2000 GT (1968)
Following the Hakosuka was the C110 series of Skylines which was introduced in 1972. The 110 Skylines quickly became known as the "Ken & Mary" or Kenmeri following the TV commercials which showed "Ken" and "Mary" enjoying their new Skyline in the Japanese countryside. The Kenmeri Skylines were available in a number of different body styles, but the two door coupe with its fastback styling was the most famous. I remember when I first learned about these cars several years ago, I couldn't believe how much the the car looked like a shrunken Dodge Charger or another American Muscle Car from the early 70's.
Skyline C110 (1972)
The next Skyline model was the C210 series which hit the market in 1977. The 210 Skylines were nicknamed "Japan", which again came from the car's advertisements. By the late '70s the times had changed and the Japan Skylines never quite had the following of the Hakosuka and Kenmeri. Of course there was no GT-R model, nor were there any race car versions. The car did become popular among tuners, and it is really common to see Japan Skylines done up in the shakotan/boso/granchan style. In stock form, they are pretty unremarkable, but they can become very cool with a little dose of vintage JDM style tuning.
Skyline C210 (1977)
Now we will continue our look back at the history of the Nissan Skyline from where we left off yesterday, with the R30 chassis. The R30 was released in 1981 and moved towards a more modern design than the C210 model. The coupe versions in particular were very good looking cars with a sleek, stretched out look. In Japan the R30 Skyline TV commercials featured legendary actor and driver Paul Newman, and there was even a special "Paul Newman version" of the car sold in Japan.The example in the photo above is the 1981 2000GT-ES coupe model, which was powered by the turbocharged L20ET engine.
Skyline R30 (1981)
Next was the R31 Skyline, introduced in 1985. On the outside, the R31's design was an evolution of the R30 with a few more modern touches. I particularly like the projector headlights on the R31 models. The big change mechanically on the R31 was the introduction of the new twin cam RB series of inline six engines. This was the first time the Skyline had a twin cam six since the original GT-R models. Nissan's new HICAS four-wheel steering system also debuted on the R31 chassis. The car in the photo is the 1987 2000 GTS-R, a very rare model which was powered by the 210ps RB20DET-R engine derived from the Group A race cars. The standard GTS Turbo models also had the RB20DET, but it they made slightly less power. The R31's were popular iin touring car racing around the world, particularly in the Group A series.
Skyline R31 (1985)
Now he come, the best ever build GT-R in late 80's. This car been call as the Road Monster. In 1989 the all new R32 Skyline was released. This was a huge leap from the previous model in terms of both design and performance. The standard rear drive models continued with the RB engines and were available only coupe and sedan forms. Up until this point there had been wagon or "van" versions of most Skyline models. The R32 GTS-t Type M was the most powerful of the rear drive R32's.
Of course the big news on the R32 was the return of the GT-R version, which hadn't been seen in 16 years. The new BNR32 GT-R (seen above) had the new ATTESA E-TS AWD system and was powered by the twin turbo RB26DETT engine. The GT-R was rated at 280ps, but in actuallity produced much more power than that. The new GT-R was groundbreaking in every way and was capable of beating the fastest sports cars in the world. Nissan made no attempt to hide that Porsche was their target when designing the R32 GT-R.
With the R32, the GT-R legend was back, and just like the original Hakosuka GT-R's, the R32's dominated in motorsport. This was particularly true in the All Japan Championship where the Group A GT-R's won all 29 rounds of the series between 1990 and 1993. Of course the R32 GT-R's would also become immensely popular among Japan's tuners where they were (and still are) built for every type of racing both legal and illegal.
Skyline R32 (1989)
The R33 Skyline followed in 1993, with the GT-R model appearing a little later. Although the mechanically similar to the R32, the new R33 was a bit larger and heavier than the old car. On the rear drive side of things, the ECR33 Skyline GTS-t was now available with the 250ps RB25DET engine, making it a popular car for those who didn't want to step up to the GT-R.
The R33 GT-R's received minor upgrades all around, and although the car was very fast, some people felt the it had lost its edge compared to the original BNR32 GT-R. Although the R33's weren't dominant in motorsport like the 32's, they did appear at LeMans and in the Super GT series. Although popular among tuners, the R33 models always seem to sandwiched between the original R32's and the newer R34 models.
Skyline R33 (1993)
In 1998 the R34 Skyline was introduced with a more aggressive shape that set it apart from the R33. Non GT-R models were now equipped with the NEO series of RB engines and the GT-R again received minor performance upgrades all around. Since the introduction of the R32 GT-R, there had always been a number of special edition GT-R's available over the years. The R34 in particular had a TON of special models including the V-spec, Nur Spec, and various Nismo versions including the Z-tune model which was released AFTER the R34 had left production. The R34 GT-R would become the posterchild of Japanese performance cars and it held legendary status even in places like the United States where it was never even sold.
Skyline R34 (1998)
For the 2007 GT-R R35, technically the new GT-R isn't even a Skyline at all because it's simply known as the "Nissan GT-R." Nonetheless, I thought I should include it in this story. There's no need for me to go over the specs on this car as its been done already time and time again. It's no less than a supercar in every sense. The R35 is not only successful in production form, but also in race form where it set records this year during its debut season in the Super GT series.

Prince Skyline (1957)
Of all the first gen Skylines, the most exotic has to be the Skyline Sport which was launched in the early '60s.
