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.

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
