No Kanji, just katakana. スカイライン

地平線 (Kanji) means horizon, kinda the same I suppose.

hmmm,ok,

ok then,so what iv quickly read about (kanji symbols) is that they represent entire objects,idea,meaning in a visually expreessive way(is that true) so is there a symbol thats represents (the skylines in general) or am i way off

my info come from this guy (its not a direct) www.dsfy.com

You've got the wrong idea... theres no one symbol for a Skyline. Reason being is that Skyline is an English word. If it were a Japanese name (like Suzuki 'Hayabusa') then there'd be a kanji - a single character or more.

The only choice you've got is what dodgybrooks mentioned. The only other shortened form I've ever seen of 'Skyline' in katakana is 'スカ’. But thats not a universal thing... just a term of endearment by some.

Ok, to answer your question, yes a Skyline is still called 'Skyline' in Japanese vernacular, but obviously they say it a little differently albeit still understandable from a native English speakers point of view. Writing 'Skyline' can be either done using the English alphabet, or using Katakana 'スカイライン'.

Actually there are hundreds of English words used in Japanese (besides names of cars etc) and the number is growing all the time.

    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
    • Wrong side of sydney for me coming from Goulburn, but you should head along, all ages of Skylines will be very welcome
