Talk:Nissan Skyline

This article is written terribly. It sounds like something some drunk guy would insist on reciting to you at a bar just because you mentioned you like imports.

Needs update.

I'd like to add.....

Also, Growing up in a Motorsport family in Australia, and Being involved in drift racing in Australia for the past four years, I have never once heard a Skyline of Any sort Reffered to as Godzilla. That claim in the article, I can confidently say, is an utter lie.

Thank you for your comments in this discussion section. I'm glad that you could add some personal experience from the Motorsport community and clarify the nickname for the Skyline. I would encourage you to incorportate any additional information you have about the Skyline into the actual article and if you know information is incorrect feel free to change it for the benefit of our wikicars community. It would also be helpful to others if you included your signature when commenting so that others know who you are. --MQuan 20:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, if you can improve the article(which is indeed poorly written) in any way, feel free to do so. 0-172 3:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes it was called Godzilla

Well you confidence in the matter is misplaced. Just because you never heard it, doesn't mean it wasn't happening. The R32 was often referred to as Godzilla when it was racing in touring cars back in 1990. It was called Godzilla by the commentators of the Telecasts of the touring car races at the time. I remember it. As I recall the name came from the car being referred to as a monster from Japan, which led to it being nick-named Godzilla.

Its also in motoring media. If you pick up a copy of Wheels November 1990 Theres a story about the Skyline GT-R (R32) and its called "GODZILLA'S DAY OUT" (page 121). So you are utterly mistaken.

That aside, this article is really bad. Its so wrong. The first Nissan Skyline GT-R was made in 1969!! not 1989. It was the C10 model, the next GT-R was the C110, both powered by the S20. After the C110 GT-R the GT-R badge was rested until the R32 GT-R.

This article needs to be deleted and re written from scratch by someone that actually knows anything about skylines, and not just the modern cars. Its worse that the wikipedia article, at least thats 90% correct.
