Hmmm pity you guys don't have many 'lines running around, much like we miss out on american muscle cars... we gotta settle for aussie made V6's n V8's...

some info on skylines...
There's a lot of different types n models of em... and different shapes of skylines too.

First off theres no such thing as an R36... lol

starting with R31 (first modern skyline to have some sort of performance scope)
Engine: RB30E: SOHC Inline 6 3.0L engine, EFI
2 Door or 4 Door, most of them were N/A and the Turbo versions are rare.

R32 (First Skyline that had some serious power)
comes in different types:
GTS (N/A) RB20DE (2.0L DOHC) or RB25DE (2.5L DOHC)
GTSt (Single Turbo) RB20DET or RB25DET (rare)
GTS4 (GTSt with All Wheel Drive, previous ones were RWD) RB20DET
GTR (Twin Turbo AWD 2.6L, nicknamed Gojira, or Godzilla) RB26DETT - This is the one you guys can import to the US, you guys cant get the lower spec ones. (Which make very very very nice Drift cars)
There are 2 door coupes or 4 door versions

R33 - these don't use 2.0L anymore only available in 2.5L

R34 - Current model one, that unfortunately they're gonna use in FnF2 and attractt he attention of every single riceboy on earth.

Most of us don't like the idea or ricers putting our signature stoveplates on their Honda's n eclipses, or GTR badges on 4cyl shitboxes, or buying a 'line only to lace it with stickon graphics and T-Wings that double as park benches.

If you guys want more info check out www.skylinesaustralia.com or skylinesdownunder.co.nz
