The Skyline, in our opinion, is the car that made Nissan. Never mind that it was actually invented by Prince no, not the Purple Rain" one, the Japanese car manufacturer, which merged with Nissan in the 1960s. Nissan kept the excellent Skyline" name and the somewhat suspect Gloria", but we digress.The Skyline nameplate dates all the way back to the late 1950s, but it"s the 1989 R32 Skyline GTR that really put Nissan on the map. Even though there had been quite a few highlights in the range over the years the original 1969 GTR, for instance, and the R31 GTS-R the R32 left an indelible mark, both on the road and in motorsport.
