The Skyline is made by Nissan and is only made in Japan. These car is the car I really want only problem, I can't get it. It's illegal to have one here because of the gas. But if I they did sell it here that would be the one I would buy. I believe they are bringing one here but it doesn't look as good. This is its history:
The Nissan Skyline is actually one of the most historic Japanese cars and has been around in various models for over 40 years already. Its production started in 1955 with the introduction of the Nissan Skyline ALSI-1, a car built by the Prince Motor Company. The Prince Motor Company was established in 1952 by the Tama Electric Car Company. Tama itself was founded by Tachikawa Aircraft Company which built fighter planes in World War II, and started producing the Tama Electric Car in 1952.
In honor of the Emperor of Japan Crown Prince Hirohita, Tama changed its name to Prince Motor Company and started producing petrol powered instead of electric cars. Prince used an engine designed by Fuji Precision Industries, a company which was established by Nakajima Aircraft Company. In 1954, the Prince Motor Company merged with Fuji Precision Industries. Another important event in the Skyline’s history occurred in 1966, when the Japanese government recommended that larger companies should be created which would be more competitive in international markets and more resistant to hostile takeover attempts by foreign competitors.
In 1989 Nissan debuted the GT-R to compete in the JTC(Japan Touring Car) Group A racing series. The GT-R was undefeated in its first season. 4 years running the GT-R won the championship in the JTC Group A series, a record of 29 wins out of 29 races.
Because of its dominance, the Skyline was given its own series in 1994 the JGTC, (Japan GT car) series.
In 1991 Nurburgring 24 hour endurance race (First participation) Skyline GT-R won the Group N class. At the Spa Francorchamps 24 hour endurance race 1991 the GT-R won overall beating Group A, and Group N1 cars. From 1991 -1997 the Skyline was undefeated in N1 endurance racing in Japan, winning 50 times.
Nissan never produced a Skyline GT-R to comply with the United States standards.
From 1989 -1999 there were 3 models of Skyline GT-R produced. The R32, R33, and the R34. Each features the RB26DETT engine, ATTESA E-TS all wheel drive system, and Nissan's Super HICAS four wheel steering system.
The engine is 2.6 liter, dual overhead cam, 24 valve, twin turbo charged, and intercooler producing 276 hp @ 6800rpm, capable of handling over 600 hp without internal modifications.
The ATTESA E-TS system an electronically controlled all wheel drive system. When the computer senses a loss of traction it automatically sends up to 50 % of the torque to the front wheels. Under normal conditions the car remains rear wheel drive.
The R33 and R34 are available with ATTESA E-TS Pro. The Pro system includes a more aggressively controlled torque splitting computer and an electronically controlled limited slip differential in the rear end.
