ALSI - 2 Series

Prince Skyline ALSI-21958 saw the introduction of the ALSI- 2 series, which was built until 1963. The car was basically the same as its predecessor, except for a different bonnet emblem and a single large horizontal bar in the grille. New were also the quad head-lights instead of the twin lamps featured in the ALSI- 1 series and the GA4 engine with now 70hp.

BLRA - 3 Series by Michelotti

Prince Skyline BLRA-31961 saw the production of the limited edition, hand-built Skyline Sport BLRA- 3 series, designed by the Italian Michelotti. The car came in coupe and convertible forms and was powered by the GB4 engine, a 1862ccm OHC 4 cylinder pumping out 94hp. This car had a very beautiful design, but on the other hand was very expensive for its time. So unfortunately it was dropped in favor of the following S 50-E series, which was cheaper to produce.

THE PRINCE SKYLINE S50 SERIES

2nd Generation (1963 - 68)         
       


S 50 - E Series

Prince Skyline S50-EThe Prince Skyline S50-E came out in 1963 and was built till 1968 in sedan (S50) and wagon (W50) form. It featured the new G1 engine, a 1484ccm OHV 4-cylinder, producing 70hp and in comparison to its predecessor had a more boxy shape. The S50 introduced the four round tail lights, a Skyline feature that was kept for many generations until the R34 series. It had large round brake lights and smaller round turn-signals beside them.

Prince Skyline S50-EThe car came with two transmissions, a 3-speed column change gearbox and a more sportive 4-speed floor change gearbox. Latter version featured bucket seats to support its more sportive character, while the column shift version only had a single bench in front. In 1967, the S50 series was replaced by the S57 series, which came with the new G15 engine, a 1483ccm OHC 4-cylinder with 88hp. It was the most powerful 1500cc engine in Japan.

Skyline 2000GT (S 54 Series)
Birth of a legend

In 1964 Prince started an attempt to go into racing. For this purpose the S50抯 wheel base was extended by cutting the car off in front of the fire wall and adding an extra 8 inches of panel work to make a 6 cylinder engine fit in. Consequently, the G7 engine, a 1988ccm OHC inline-6 from the upper class S40 Gloria model, was installed to the car. In the beginning only a small number of this car were built to homologate it for GT-class racing, but since it proved very popular, Prince decided to put it into full production. The resulting car was called the S54 series or the Skyline 2000GT and came in two versions.

The GT-A used an unchanged version of the G7 engine with only a singlePrince Skyline S54 carburetor and 105hp. The GT-B on the other hand got a 5-speed close ratio gearbox, full instrumentation, a limited slip differential, power brakes, a 99 liter fuel tank and a high compression version of the G7 with triple 40DCOE-18 Weber carburetors and 125hp. Both featured disc brakes with twin piston calipers up front and alloy finned drum-brakes at the rear. Later models even had flow through ventilation with small eye ball vents added to the dashboard.

Of both, the GT-B was finally the one to be used for racing. It finished 2nd in its first race, the 2nd GP of Japan in 1964 and almost beat the victorious Porsche 904GTS, which was a pure race car. This was an incredible achievement considering that the Skyline was a 4-door sedan. The S54 series was continued until 1968 and with its several race victories laid the foundation for the Skyline legend.

3rd Generation (1968 - 72)         

The 1500 series

Nissan Skyline 1500The 1500 series replaced the S 50 in July 1968 and was built until 1972. It came in 4-door sedan and wagon form with the G15 engine from the S57.The same car was also available as the 1800 with the G18 engine. These cars were mostly using Prince parts and were the last Skylines to be released with the Prince badge, with all following Skylines to be renamed Nissan Skyline.

The Skyline 2000GT (GC10 series)

Just like all other derivatives of the C10 series, the GC10 (G standing for GT) was basically planned by Prince, although it was later badged Nissan Skyline 2000GT. It was introduced in 1968 (2 months after the 1500) and first came in 4-door sedan (GC10) and 5-door wagon versions and from 1970 on also with two doors (KGC10). The car was almost the same as the preceding S54 GT-A model, featuring a 6-cylinder engine instead of the previously common 4-cylinder. The Skyline 2000GT got the L20 engine, a 1998ccm OHC inline-6 with 105hp.

The Skyline 2000 GT-R (PGC-10 series)

1968 had seen the introduction of a basic Skyline (the 1500 series) and a model comparable to the previous GT-A (the GC10 series). But people were still eagerlyProceed to the Report about the Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R awaiting a replacement for the GT-B. Almost a year passed after the intro-duction of the new model range, until finally in February 1969 the new GT-R sedan came along.

This car was about to write history!

The Skyline 2000GT-R was powered by the S20 engine, a 1998ccm DOHC inline-6, producing 160hp - equally strong as a Porsche 911 of that time. This engine was basically the same as the GR8 of Nissan抯 R380 racecar, which won the 3rd GP of Japan in 1966 against a Porsche Carrera 6.

Since it was intended for racing, the PGC10 (P stood for Prince) was very lightweight inside, without a heater or radio, but from the outside almost lookedProceed to the Report about the Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R like any other 4-door sedan. After over two years, the coupe-version of the GT-R (KPGC-10) was introduced in March 1971. A shorter wheelbase and less weight made for a better maneuver-ability in comparison to the 4-door version and further enhanced this car's capability on the circuit. The Skyline 2000GT-R lived up to the racing pedigree of its predecessors and the sedan scored 33 victories in those one-and-a-half years it raced, which was raised to 50 victories by the KPGC-10, until its production was stopped in 1972.

The Skyline had become a Legend after all.

4th Generation (1972 - 77)         

The C110 series was built from 1972 until 1977 and came in four versions.

Firstly, there were two basic versions now, the 1600GT and the 1800GT, both using derivatives of the G15 engine, the G16 (1.6l) and the G18 (1.8l) respectively. The third model was the 2000GT-X, which could be compared to the C10 2000GT. It was powered by an improved version of the L20 engine with an output of 130hp instead of the earlier 109hp.

Nissan Skyline KPGC110The most powerful of the quartet, though, was the 2000 GT-R, using an unchanged version of the S20 engine with still 160hp. Similar to its prede-cessor from 1969, the GT-R was avail-able as a coupe (KPGC110) and a 4-door sedan (PGC110).

With only 197 unit produced, this was to be the last car to wear the GT-R badge for more than a decade, and the only one ever not to be used in racing at all.

5th Generation (1977 - 81)         

The C211 series was released in August 1977 and, just like the C110 series, came in four versions. First of all, due to the fuel crisis and emissions regulations, the GT-R was missing and instead the Skyline 2000GT-ES (KGC211) marked the top-of-the-line now.

The latter came out in April 1980 and featured a new turbo-version of the L20, called the L20ET, with 140hp. This engine might have been less powerful than the GT-Rs, but in contrast to the S20, obeyed to emissions regulations and marked a new milestone in Skyline history: For the first time a turbo engine powered a Skyline.

The basic versions were called 1600TI and 1800TI now and featured L16 and L18 engines respectively, instead of the preceding "G" engines. The old 2000GT-X lost the X (and was now called the 2000GT), but kept an unchanged L20 engine, which still pumped out 130hp.

6th Generation (1981 - 85)         

With the R30 series, Nissan started to change the nomenclature of the Skyline. For the rest of the century, all Skyline generations would be called R3X.

The new line-up was released in August 1981 and came in 5 different models. ItsR30 Nissan Skyline design was dramatically different in comparison to its predecessors, since this new Skyline looked very boxy in shape and much more like an ordinary sedan than earlier Skylines. Even though, it marked a step back to the sporty roots of the Skyline.

Earlier versions had constantly been gaining weight, which consequently slowed them down and made them less agile. This was changed with this new generation, although it was not until 1982 that a really sporty Skyline hit the road again.

For the basic versions, the L16 engine was dropped, so only the 1800TI remained, which now used the Z18 4-cylinder engine with 105hp. The stronger 2000GT and 2800GT both came with inline-6 engines instead.

The R30 Skyline RS

After Nissan had dropped the GT-R, there had been no DOHC engine in the Skyline line-up anymore. Since the oil-crisis, the turbo had emerged, but a DOHC was still missing. The introduction of the Skyline RS was to change this condition in October 1981. It came in sedan and coupe form with the new FJ20E engine, a 2.0l four-cylinder pumping out 150hp, which was directly aimed at racing.

In 1983 this engine抯 performance was improved by a turbo, so the resultingR30 Nissan Skyline RS FJ20ET (T standing for turbo) now produced 190hp, which was later boosted to an astonishing 205hp by the addition of an intercooler.

This Skyline became known as the RS-X or the Turbo C. The result was not only the until then 搒trongest Skyline ever

7th Generation (1985 - 91)         

Since the R30 was very successful, Nissan did not change much of the outward appearance of its successor, the R31 series. At its debut, the car was introduced only in all forms of 4-door versions. Due to the popularity of luxury cars, this Skyline was aimed at the luxury department and seemed to have lost its focus onR31 Nissan Skyline sportiness. The base model was the 1800I, now using the CA 18, a 1.8l DOHC 4-cylinder with 100hp.

But the R31 also saw the introduction of a new engine family, the RB20 engines which worked in the Passage GT. Especially the RB20DET, a 2.0l DOHC inline-6 turbo with 180hp at 6400rpm, stood out here as a very potent machine. It was the first in a great family of engines that the later GT-R's RB26DETT and other Skyline engines up to the R34 series also belonged to.

The GTS Coupes

People had to wait for a two-door until the GTS hit the showrooms in May 1986. This coupe got the RB20DET engine from the Passage GT. It was renamed GTS-X in 1988 and got an improved RB20DET version with now 190hp.

More important about this car, though, was the appearance of the HICAS (High Capacity Active Steering) all-wheel-steer system for the first time in Skyline history. This system is still used on today抯 top Skyline versions and improves theR31 Nissan Skyline GTS handling of the car immensely.

The most famous of the GTS models was the GTS-R, though, which was developed especially for racing. The 180hp in the standard model may not have been bad, but were still short of the 205hp featured in the R30 RS-X. This is why Nissan introduced the R31 Skyline GTS-R in 1987 with a RB20DET engine tuned to 210hp thanks to a different turbocharger and different exhaust manifolds. The engine tuning was supported by an improved suspension and tuning on many other parts of the car, to give the GTS-R a sportier overall character. With only 200 built examples, this is still a highly desired car today.
