Just how worthy is it of the Skyline name and the Nismo badge?
Yeah, let’s get that out the way first. The Skyline name has a much broader meaning in its domestic Japanese market than to most of us Europeans. It dates back to 1957 and the rather American-influenced Prince Skyline sedan. Another decade passed before Prince and Nissan merged and the car began to resemble the Skyline that we millennials will recognize from numerous gaming franchises.

Getting close to extracting it all means muddling your way through a transmission that sometimes stutters its shifts—the nine-speeder in the new Z is much sharper—but on the whole, this is a pleasant car to operate and one with a strong enough dollop of comfort that an M340i or a C43 might feel overwrought if you ever got them all together.
