The first Skyline was made by Prince in the 50's, then by Nissan, who purchased Prince in the 60's. Search for Skyline and Cedric in Wikipedia if you want to have a look at the chronology both models. As I said, there were some similarities between Cedric and Skyline in that era, but visually they are quite different.

I though some of you blokes would be interested that I have just finished some work for Nissan Aust. The will be a heritage display set up at all V8 rounds in the Nissan marquis written by me featuring never seen before photos of Nissan/Datsun cars from 1958 through to 1992 on the track. It is part of a book I am writing about the history of Nissan in Australian motorsports.

1986 DR30.

I have been given exclusive access to the photo library of several famous photographers and the book will have approx 100 never seen Datsun/Nissan racing shots.

Cheers

Whats the difference between an MR30 and an FJR30?

Mine's an 84 FJR30-CA18S Built in Japan Sept 84 but Brought to Australia then exported to NZ in 91 then exported again in 2014 to the UK, sat in a barn until 2016 and after much wrangling got it UK registered June 2017. Its rare to see one over here. Thanks to the Aussie climate it is in excellent condition rust free. I have changed the rear lights from Aussie spec to the hot plate style though

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
