The Sky Is The Limit - A Book of Skyline Stuff.pdf

February 7, 2009 · Filed Under Nissan  · Tags: , ,

This pdf material tells a lot about Nissan Skyline, its history, diagnostics, features from the first ever Skyline to MY 2000.

Taken from Skyline History:

  • 1955 The Prince Motor Company produced the Skyline ALSIS1 in either a four door sedan, or a five door wagon. It was powered by a 1484cc four cylinder engine producing 60 horsepower.
  • 1957 The Skyline ALSI2 was released, with some cosmetic enhancements. Namely quad headlights, a new grill, and a new bonnet emblem.
  • 1961 The Skyline Sport BLRA3 was released. It was an Italian design, and hand built, so production numbers were limited. This model was available as either a coupe or convertible. The engine was a 1862cc unit producing 83 horse power.
  • 1961 The Skyline S50E series was released. It was powered by a 1484 cc four cylinder engine producing 70 horsepower. It was during the life of this model in 1966, that Prince Motor Company and Nissan were merged. Options included a three speed column change, or a four speed floor change with bucket seats. Again this model was available in either a four door sedan, or a five door wagon.
  • 1965 The first sporty Skyline — the Prince GT S54 was created to go racing. The body was based on a modified S50 with a lengthened nose section, and a 1988cc six cylinder engine with either triple 40DCOE18 Webber carburettors, or a lower compression version with a single carburettor producing 127 and 106 horsepower respectively. Features included a LSD, a five speed close ratio gearbox, front disc brakes with twin callipers, and finned drums on the rear.
  • 1967 The Nissan Skyline 1500. Powered by a 1483cc four cylinder engine producing 94 horsepower. Available in either a four door sedan, or a five door wagon.
  • 1969 The Nissan Skyline C10 series. Engines included a 1988cc six cylinder pushing 106 horsepower, a 1973cc L20 six cylinder engine with 109 horsepower, and the 1998cc DOHC S20 GTR engine producing 160 horsepower with triple Solex carburettors. The range was available in two and four door sedans, and five door wagons (except for the GTR which was limited to the sedan options) The GTR was nicknamed “Hakosuka”
  • 1972 The Nissan Skyline C110 series. Again, a range of models and engine types. The interesting models included the 2000GTX powered by the 130 horsepower L20, the 2000GTR with the 160 horsepower S20. Other variants included 1600GT, 1800GT.
  • 1977 Another new generation of Skylines. Models included 1600TI, 1800TIex, 2000GT. In 1980 the first turbo charged Skyline was released - the2000GTex with a 140 horsepower L20 engine.
  • 1980 Nissan R30 Skyline. The Skyline was evolving into the shape we associate with modern Skylines with this release. Models were similar to the last generation with a few additions, 1800TI, 2000GTex, 2000GTex turbo, and 2800GT. The lightweight R30 2000 RS and R30 RS Turbo packed the new FJ20 two litre four cylinder engine in both naturally aspirated and turbo versions producing 145 and 190 horsepower respectively. 1983 saw a facelift for the RS series, now renamed the RSX and RSX Turbo. By 1984, the RSX Turbo C produced 205 horsepower, and was nicknamed “Te Ka Men” or Iron Mask. The RS Turbo formed the basis for Nissan’s early Group A programme. Many of us can recall the Nissan’s in Peter Jackson colours competing in the Australian Touring Car Championship, with George Fury and a young Glenn Seton.
  • 1985 Nissan R31 Skyline. Another step in the evolution of the Skyline. New models included the GTSX, and the GTSR. The RB20DET was introduced, as was HICAS. The RB20DET engines in the R31 range are known as “Red Tops” after the colouring of their valve cover.
  • 1989 Nissan R32 Skyline. Models included the GXI, GTE, GTS, GTST, GTS25, GTS4, and GTR. Engines included the CA18 for the GXI, and then the RB20E for the GTE, RB20DE for the GTS, 160kw RB20DET for the GTST and GTS4, RB25DE for the GTS25, and the 206kw RB26DETT for the top of the range GTR. The GTS4 and GT R models featured Nissan’s new all wheel drive system. The valve cover colour for the RB20DET is now silver for the R32 series.
  • 1993 Nissan R33 Skyline. This model was heavier than the very popular R32 series, and based on the Laurel platform. The models again are very similar to the previous generation, with GTS25T, GTS25, GTS4 (naturally aspirated only), and the GTR. 1998 The R34 Skyline series. A more aerodynamic design than the previous R33 series, and another boost in performance.
  • 2000 The R-34 GT-R and GT-T go on sale in New Zealand from Nissan dealers.
