The R35, which dropped the Skyline name when it arrived in 2007. A twin-turbo 3.8-litre V6, each one assembled by hand by a single craftsman, drives all four wheels through a dual-clutch gearbox. It matched supercars costing several times as much, and stayed in production for close to two decades.
The R35 GT-R, or GTR as it is usually typed, sold from 2007 without the Skyline name. The Skyline GT-Rs before it are counted on their own page: 974 more, which makes 1,307 GT-Rs of every kind still registered in New Zealand.
