Another thing to know is that they only come in right hand drive,and because of the position of the turbos,it is impossible to make them left hand drive.This is one of the reasons that the cars were never exported to the US market.Also the new Infiniti G35 is the same as the Japanese market new Skyline,but is not the ultra performance car that the old one was.The old Skyline was also available in many different trim levels and powertrain options-not all had the Rb26DEtt and ATTESSA all wheel drive system.That was reserved I believe for the GTR(or am I wrong about the trim level designation?).The standard Skyline could be had as a rear wheel drive car,and a 4 door was even made!It is rumored that a new model similar to the old Skyline GTR will be produced,under the name of GTR,and exported to the US but I don't know too much about it.Finally the Skyline name has been produced since the late 50's in Japan when it was built by the Prince car company that Nissan absorbed in the late 60's.
