All 16 Nissan Skyline Generations
Each generation deals in its rarity tier’s alloy with its engine disc, lead specs, and first spotter record. Click into any generation for full trims and market figures.
Only 100 Skyline Nismo Limiteds exist, and each one's engine was hand-built by the same Takumi craftsmen who build the R35 GT-R's VR38 — their names are stamped right on it.
The V37 Skyline Nismo Limited's engines were handbuilt by Nissan's legendary "Takumi" craftsmen — the same hands that built the R35 GT-R's VR38 — and each one carries their nameplate.
Nissan marked the Skyline's 55th birthday with exactly 555 of them: the V36's 55th Limited Edition sedan, built in that precise number to match the anniversary.
Nissan named the V35 platform after the mythical land of Fuga, a name it later reused for a sedan sold as the Infiniti M35/M45.
Buried under the R34's reputation for turbo GT-Rs is a quieter record: the naturally-aspirated HR34 GT became the most fuel-efficient straight-six Skyline Nissan had ever built, in any generation.
The R33 grew enough that Japan's own tax code no longer counted it as a compact — the first Skyline generation to outgrow the exterior-size tax break.
The R32 GT-R earned the nickname 'Godzilla' within months of launch — Australia's Wheels magazine coined it in July 1989, and it stuck through every GT-R generation since.
Only 823 R31 GTS-R coupes were ever built — a homologation special that existed purely to legalize a bigger turbo and intercooler for Group A touring car racing, even while still giving up horsepower to its Ford and Holden rivals.
The R31 holds a Skyline first — the only generation in the car's entire history to come as a four-door hardtop, badged "Passage GT."
The R30's FJ20 was the first Japanese four-cylinder with more than two valves per cylinder, and some grades let the driver adjust dampers on the move.
The RS-X's slot-eyed face wasn't styling for its own sake — fans nicknamed it "Tekkamen," the Iron Mask, for a nose so radical it ditched the grille entirely for two narrow slits.
The C210's 2000GT-EX turbo, sold with no blow-off valve or intercooler, is credited as Japan's first turbocharged production car engine.
Kenmeri's name is a pun: Ken and Mary from the ads, plus old Japanese slang for American, Meriken.
The C10 Skyline was the last one designed at Prince's own Ogikubo studio before wearing a Nissan badge to market.
Only 100 S54A-1 Skyline GTs were built, just enough to homologate a straight-six squeezed into a sedan stretched 200 mm at the cowl.
The first Skyline's 1.5 L engine started life in the prototype Subaru 1500, a rare shared root between two rival badges.
