What is skyline?

A great Japanese car which has been around since 1957

Many models have been made including
single cam, twin cam ,single turbo , twin turbo models.and in AWD ad RWD.

Each car from the the R31 has the bullet proof RB engine which
is used worldwide by tuners due to it being hard wearing and capable of great BHP limits.

The Skyline are hated by Muscle car fans whom only compare there huge cc cars to these cars as they know that there engines had to be tuned down due to agreements in Japan.
When the engine is released the smaller engines can produce the same or more power that there huge cc engines produce.
This often upsets Muscle car fans and they become very childish.And always pick a small handful of cars which are usually really old to put up against these cars,But forgetting that many are that old there Muscle engines would be running so slow stock due to age wear.
The Skyline range is a great car and has proven itself worldwide on the track and off,soit does not matter what is said bad about these cars its only a personal opinion as true facts are facts on these great cars and there abilities.

My muscle car is fast at drag until it reaches a corner

My muscle car is fast as it has huge cc thats strange your little cc car can produce as much BHP .

We have to pick on Skylines with Muscle cars as there the only decent ones we have.

You know my Muscle car what you havent heard of it around the world i thought it was popular.

I have plenty of torque oh thats it really.

Skyline - what is it?

Many people do not know that the current Skyline is sold as the G35 in America, and under the Skyline monaker in Japan. It is not Based on the old BNR platform, such as the R32, R33, and R34, but instead under the FM platform, the same platform as the 350Z, or Fairlady Z as it is known in Japan. Also the prototype GT-R is not a skyline, nor is it related to the Skyline. If produced, it will be one tier up of the 350Z. Just wanted to clear that up.

If you want a new skyline, go buy an Infiniti g35.

Otherwise, spend upwards of 30 thousand dollars importing and legalizing an r32. Ive seen R34s going for upwards of 70 grand with importation and legalization fees.

Skyline - what does it mean?

skyine high school; the worst place on earth, where everyone thinks their the best, everyone thinks their poor, but actually have lots of money, all the grils are orange and are bitchy, the place where no one has problems, but think they have nothing. Also where everyone thinks their from the OC or Laguna Beach

Prison. Just watch the OC then you''ll know whatr everyone tries to be like. Screw the cocky spoiled kids who drive Audi's and BMW's

Mazda RX-7 Typre R
Subaru WRX STi

-"Whoa...Did you see the viper slide off the track?!"
-"Yeah dude, the skyline just pissed on it and kept going!"
-"Typical"

Skyline - definition

skyline's a great car, but what it really means is "The outline of a group of buildings or a mountain range seen against the sky"

I can see the skyline of vancouver from here...(I can also see a vette getting owned by an R32)

Skyline - slang

Whoops while copying and pasting (too lazy to type) I made this mistake:

GT-R - 2.6L Twin Turbo ~ 140-150kw at the wheels. Rear Wheel Drive.

it should read:
GT-R - 2.6L Twin Turbo ~ 230kw at all 4 wheels (according to the manual, however this is a rounded figure used by the japanese car companies including Mitsubishi and Subaru to comply with emission standards). All Wheel Drive.

Also with reference to the Nitrous Dioxide, it is used around the world in drag car racing, but in reference to Skylines outside of the US hardly anyone uses them, as it is illegal in most countries to have NO2 in a street car.

I Think I saw a Skyline

Skyline

In referance to the Nissan Skyline GT-R34: It is a two door Japanese supercar that is totally under rated by many people. It contains an advanced All Wheel Drive(AWD) system propelled by a Inline six cylinder engine. The car was claimed to have 280bhp-290bhp from Nissan until it was claimed that the car was put out 310bhp-330bph. In truth, the GT-R34 puts out over 500bhp before it is physically LIMITED and DETUNED from the factory due to Japanese governmental restrictions during it's years of production. If the GT-R34 was restored to it's ORIGINAL state of production, it would be among the fastest production cars in the world.

"The Nissan Skyline GT-R34 held the most wins in the international racing community before it was banned in many racing classes."

Skyline

A line of cars manufactured for use only in Japan, although numerous low volume imports can be had for virtually Japanese prices in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Select few are imported to the US via Motorex.

The car is assumed to be the GT-R however this is not the case. The car comes in many variants including:
GTS - 2.0L or 2.5L N/A ~ 90-100kw at the wheels. Rear Wheel Drive.
GTSt - 2.0L or 2.5L Single Turbo ~ 140-150kw at the wheels. Rear Wheel Drive.
GTS4 - 2.0L or 2.5L Single Turbo ~ 140-150kw at the wheels. All Wheel Drive.
GT-R - 2.6L Twin Turbo ~ 140-150kw at the wheels. Rear Wheel Drive.

Oh and when I bought my R32 GTR I dyno'd it stock before I began modding to use as a benchmark, and it made 308hp at all 4 wheels, dunno where you guys keep pulling facts from.

Skylines are as common as fvck in some countries outside of the US (maybe you guys should broaden your perspectives a little), where they're cheap to maintain and cheap to modify, turbo upgrades, cooling, ECU's, fuel management, exhausts, gaskets, headers pistons etc are all available over the counter at most performace shops (which don't sell ricey shit). Its not a pretty car, its not a beasty V8 car. Its an efficient , technologically advanced car and its simply fun to drive.

The persona of the Skyline was disintegrated by the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious which is a benchmark for many kids around the world, who now believe the R34 Skyline is the godsend for civics, and all anti ricers to believe that all R34's come stock with Neons and NOS. This couldn't be further from the truth as you'll find most Skylines around the world are owned by enthusiasts and purists who have to have the "go" before the "show".

One other thing... outside of the US not many performance hungry countries use "NOS" (and its nitrous dioxide, not a brand name). Most GTRs are modified to be highly powerful without it (as the saying goes down here... "NOS is for civics").

"I want to import a Nissan Skyline"
"Did you see that Skyline drive by?"

Skyline

a great japanese sports car built originally as a station wagon by the prince motor company in 1955. as prince merged with with Nissan, it tranformed. In 1968, the GT-R model made its debut,and it produced 160hp. The currnet R-34 model has a 2.6 liter DOHC inline-6 twin turbo motor that pushes out 280hp. These were never marketed in America, although you can buy one(EXPENSIVE). Nissan has now stopped production of these beautiful machines because of the 350-Z takeover.

dude! do you sell crack?? how did you afford that skyline?!
