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

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
