what is a skyline

Ah, the Skyline — more than just a pretty name, it's a legend in automotive circles, especially Down Under and beyond. Originally a series of cars produced by Nissan, the Skyline is famed for its turbocharged engines and the iconic GT-R variants that have become the stuff of street racing folklore. The most famous models boast inline-six engines with twin turbos, producing anywhere from 276 to over 400 kilowatts in some high-performance trims. New Skylines in Australia are typically found as the Nissan GT-R, which can set you back north of $150,000 AUD new, while older R32, R33, and R34 models can be caught on used car sites like CarShowroom or Tradingpost for anywhere between $30,000 and $150,000 AUD depending on condition and provenance. If you’re chasing that blend of JDM heritage, snarling performance, and a bit of street cred, the Skyline is your playground. Always double-check official specs and local regulations before diving in.
