My Skyline in Winter.
2007-12-20 06:33:00 People say I am crazy, but I have been driving my Skyline for two winters now. I had it rust proofed last year, and I think I should do it again this year. I just haven't had the time. Anyway, the reason for this post is just that I wanted to say, the GTR is a great car in the winter. It drives like a truck (I mean this in a good way) because of it's all-wheel drive. Those front wheels kick in every time you need them. The ABS brakes work well too. I know it's a great car, but in the end, it's not that expensive. So why let your Skyline hide in the garage all winter. Get it out there and see what it can do. Heck, it would even make a good rally car if the suspension is raised. More About: Winter
Nissan Skylines on youtube.
2007-12-20 06:15:00 The few videos I took of me driving my Nissan Skyline have had an incredible number of views, and in my opinion, they are super boring. But once you put Skyline on anything, people will take notice. For all you Skyline owners out there, if want to make a popular youtube video, get your Skyline on youtube. If you get video taken at the track even better. When I have time, I will make more videos of my Skyline. It's a good promotional tool for my blog as well. Cheers youtube! What a valuble tool.

Best sports cars ever
2007-10-19 01:40:00 Here is a ranking done by a program on the Discovery Channel. It seems like a very arbitrary list to me. It is hard to understand what they are basing everything on. But it was a interesting show regardless. I liked the part in the show where the guy says, the Skyline is like a Japanese salary man. Plain on the outside, but it really is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Gun metal gray 1990 Nissan Skyline at Dunnville
2007-10-15 22:37:00 I was able to take a ride in this gun metal gray Nissan Skyline . This Skyline actually used to belong to a friend of mine. I hear he has a new one now. Nice red paint on the engine. I like the stock wheels too. The interior was very clean compared to mine. More About: Metal , Gray , Nissan Skyline

Wide body Skyline. Dunnville
2007-10-15 21:37:00 A nice wide body Skyline from the track day on Sunday, Oct 14th, 2007 in Dunnville, 2 hours north west of Toronto. This Skyline has about 500hp and is real wheel drive. It had really nice LED rear tail lights. One of the nicest cars at the event.More about the event: It was my first times to attend one of these events, and I was able to take my Skyline for a few laps. The event was from 10am until 4pm and cost $100. A little pricey, but where else can you legally drive at high speeds? I am just sad that there aren't more events like this.It was just about the most fun I have ever had behind the wheel in my whole life. The next event will be Oct 27th at Mosport, east of Toronto. The cost for this event will be $250. A bit rich for my blood. I think I will just take pictures at this event. More About: Body , Wide , Ville

Ricers Vs American Muscle
2007-09-27 03:20:00 Or should I say JDM VS GDM VS ADMIt is amazing how passionate people get about what country their car comes from. I see all kinds of Ford and Mustang owners putting down Japanese cars. I think it is all very childish myself. When I was young, I was only into Audi and Porsche. Then I went through an American Muscle car phase. Then I went to Japan, and totally got into Japanese cars. What I am trying to say is that it doesn't matter what country your car comes from, just look at the individual specs of each car and then decide from that.

V-spec GTR
2007-09-25 03:00:00 The V-Spec GT-R. The black one has more attitude.http://jdm-imports.com
GT-R
2007-09-25 02:58:00 Finally, the GT-R. It was a long strange trip. Notice how the GT-R is the only one to have the three meter gauges on the center console inside the interior.http://jdm-imports.com
GTS-4
2007-09-25 02:57:00 AWD Coupe. The closest thing to a GTR. The rear wing has a flush mounted brake light. Not suitable for the GTR, however, it give the GTS-4 a very high tech look.http://jdm-imports.com

2007-09-25 02:46:00 Red is not bad, but I like the darker red. Notice how they start to use the sunk in rear lights. Amazing how they pay so much attention to the detail and minor changes.http://jdm-imports.com More About: Type
GTS Type S
2007-09-25 02:43:00 The lowest grade coupe. Very simple and understated.http://jdm-imports.com More About: Type
GTS Type S
2007-09-25 02:41:00 How many variations do they need?!? The rear lights use a flush, smooth surface. A high-tech feeling is created, but not quite an aggressive look like the GT-R. Handsome tail lights none the less. The dark, royal blue is a very unique color. It would be funny to see a GT-R in this very, adult color.http://jdm-imports.com More About: Type
GTXi Type X
2007-09-25 02:35:00 Fromhttp://jdm-imports.comThis one had a mere 91 hp and white is the cheapest color to produce. In Japan, white cars outnumber all other colors. Notice the ultra cheap plastic wheel covers. They look they came from Canadian tire. More About: Type
R34 Police car
2007-09-22 07:15:00 This one is fromhttp://commons.wikimedia.orgThis is quite an odd site for me. Here in Canada, cops often pull over Skyline owners, but in Japan, some police cars are Skylines. How the tables are turned! Maybe the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police ) should recruit some Skylines on the force, lol. Heck, these days, half the Taxi's are Japanese in Toronto. Why not? The automotive world is changing fast.Another interesting side note, there have been R32, and R33 police cars as well. There have also been RX-8, RX-7, and Subaru Impreza Police cars in Japan. I have seen them first hand. src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com /pagead/show_ads.js"> More About: Police Car
1963-68 Skyline
2007-09-22 06:52:00 Visit http://history.jbskyline.net/ to see more history on the Skyline .Yes, it started way back then. The four round lights and the lip over the rear wheel. This Skyline is not exactly the most exciting as it looks like it was made in Eastern Europe, but it hints at greatness to come.This was the S50 series, and was built from 1963 until 1968. I believe this model represented the metamorphoses from luxury sedan to sports car. The next model after this was definitely all muscle.In 1967 Prince merged with Nissan.
1961-62 Prince Skyline
More articles from this author:2007-09-22 06:37:00 This one is fromhttp://www.importculture.com/This Skyline was from around the time Prince merged with Nissan. The amazing thing about Skyline's is that they maintained the same design ques/elements from the beginning. Like the four round lights and the little line over the rear wheels like the ones you see on this car. Granted, there is not as much lineage as the Porsche 911, but compared to other Japanese makers, they didn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Toyota for example, is a great company, but they hardly ever look that their past models when designing a new car.This Skyline was Italian designed, but it was short lived as it was too expensive to produce compared with the up and coming S50 models. 1, 2 |
