Among the quirky and impressive is one of the best JDM cars ever built; the Nissan Skyline (especially in performance GT-R form).So the GT-R is the stuff of legends among performance junkies and Japanese car lovers. And for many Nissan fans in the U.S., the GT-R is a JDM car available in American-spec form.A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SKYLINE

Japanese Domestic Market The term “JDM” is often used by car enthusiasts when referring to Japanese cars.

The current GT-R uses a unique platform not related to the Skyline/G35/G37, as well as unique bodywork, hence it's lost the Skyline name.
