The Nissan Skyline is one of the most celebrated Japanese performance cars of all time – particularly the legendary, fire-breathing Skyline GT-R, popularly known as “Godzilla” (read more here aboutwhy the Nissan Skyline GT-R is called Godzilla– the answer may surprise you)
但是，为什么日产天际线如此受欢迎？
Considering that fairly few Skylines were ever produced – and most of them were not GT-Rs but in fact lower grade cars that often came without turbochargers or AWD systems – how is it that this car has become such an icon?
是什么使这辆车成为”JDMhero” and one of the all-time great icons of Japanese motoring performance?
In this edition of Car Facts we take a look at why the Skyline has become such a popular car, despite it having been illegal in the United States (you can learn more here aboutwhy the Nissan Skyline is illegalif you’re interested).
请注意，这篇文章不是科学的事实 - 这只是我们对为什么天际线成为如此理想和受欢迎的汽车的看法，尽管它一直是一个相当利基的主张。

Now, let’s get stuck in to understand:
日产天际线为什么受欢迎？
我们认为，日产天际线持续流行有几个关键原因。
In no particular order, they are:
流行文化影响
The Nissan Skyline has featured heavily in video games, such as the Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport series.
也许更重要的是,R34 GT-R featured in the Fast & Furious franchise, as driven by the late Paul Walker. Here’s the great race from2 Fast 2 Furiousfeaturing the Skyline up against the Toyota Supra, Mazda RX-7 and Honda S2000:
考虑到这种特许经营有助于激发对“ JDM”所有事物的热情（在以下链接上了解更多信息what JDM truly means）毫不奇怪的是，电影中的一辆英雄汽车有助于使天际线更受欢迎，尤其是与以前没有太多接触汽车的美国观众。
因此，流行文化膨胀了日产天际线的感知，可取性和普及。
Rising Values
Prices on all sorts of classic cars have been going crazy in recent years, especially following the start of the Covid pandemic. In fact, prices on “normal” cars like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla have also been climbing, making buying a new car a right pain in the proverbial for anyone who wants to score a deal.
With the Skyline – particularly the GT-R – prices have reached such dizzying heights that this is helping to fuel further popularity in turn.
Although the GT-R Skyline is past the point of attainability for the average car enthusiast, the ever-growing prices on these modern classics is drawing more mainstream attention.
当这些汽车进行拍卖并以吸引人的价格吸引人的价格时，主流新闻媒体开始在天际线上展示天际线的文章。
Basically, the collectible/investment nature of these cars is helping to fuel growth in popularity and desirability – everybody wants a ticket aboard the Nissan Skyline price express.
调整潜力
Another reason for the Nissan Skyline’s popularity is the tuning potential that comes with this car.
TheRB26DETT在顶部的GT-R模型中，模型可以通过修改获得可观的增长，即使是安装的一些更基本的电动机（尤其是涡轮增压器）也可以修改以消除出色的性能。
This tuning potential/capability has helped to make the Nissan Skyline a popular choice with those looking for a solid platform to build on.
YouTube上充满视频的原因是有一个原因，该视频显示了调谐的天际线，比工厂的功能高数百马力，例如这款完整的Beast R32 GT-R，左右约1000hp：
不仅是最高的GT-R模型也可以调谐。在新西兰（该站点所在的位置）的这里，在道路上曾经是一个相当普遍的景象，可以看到重新修饰的“基本”天际线，例如GTS-T…，甚至是已转换为Turbo后的NA汽车事实。Thanks to age, mileage and decay you don’t see as many of these souped-up Skylines as you used to, but they still make an appearance from time to time – often accompanied by the sound of police sirens in the distance, trying to play catch up!
Long story short, the fact that the Nissan Skyline provides an excellent platform for modification is one of the reasons why it has become such a popular car. Those looking for a base from which to build their dream performance car could do far worse than picking a Nissan Skyline.
Performance
No discussion of the Nissan Skyline’s popularity would be complete without reference to its performance capability – particularly the GT-R variants.
The R32 GT-R, for example, was超好的it was basically banned from competing in Australian motorsport (or so the popular legend goes … the truth is somewhat more complex).
1990年代/2000年代初的所有JDM英雄汽车（例如Toyota Supra Mk4，Mazda RX-7，Mitsubishi 3000GT等）都是出色的表演者，但可以说Skyline GT-R可以说是“最好” - 您可以在这里了解更多有关JDM’s meaning和历史..除了RX-7外，它绝对是最集中的，就其目标所能实现而言 - 能够在赛道上取得最佳表现。
While cars like the 3000GT or Nissan 300ZX weren’t too far off when it came to straight line speed, it is the combination of handling prowess and raw performance that made the Skyline GT-R so great (the 3000GT, for example, was really more of a grand tourer designed for high speed cruising and real-world bends, as opposed to the racetrack).
日产确实确实制造了这辆车，使其尽可能地有能力和能力。
This excellent performance has helped to make the Skyline so desirable and popular. Although modern cars have bypassed the Skyline, it is still undeniably quick even by today’s standards. At the time it was revolutionary, and truly at the cutting edge of what could be achieved in terms of automotive performance.
尽管这肯定是辩论，但有一个论点是，日产Skyline GT-R是1990年代日本表演驾驶的绝对巅峰之作 - 因此，它具有很高的知名度！
穆罕默德·阿里（Muhammad Ali）是有史以来最受欢迎的拳击手，因为他是最好的（或者他喜欢宣称）日产天际线是有史以来最受欢迎的日本表演车之一，因为这是最好的它的时代也是如此。
怀旧
如果您在PS1上长大后玩Gran Turismo，那么您可能会看着带有玫瑰色眼镜的日产天际线。
The nostalgia factor is one of the reasons for the continued popularity of this car.
Those who were too young at the time the Nissan Skyline was new are now of an age where they might be able to buy these cars, which helps to drive desirability and popularity (although let’s be fair, they are getting so pricey now that they are fast becoming unobtainable)
就像演员一样Friends继续流行,庆祝这一天as their audience of the time has aged (but looks back on the show through the lens of nostalgia) so has nostalgia helped to enhance the popularity of the Skyline!
就像Friendshas found popularity with younger viewers – some whom weren’t even born at the time the show finished – the Skyline has found fresh popularity with younger car enthusiasts as well.
In an age where cars are almost absurdly good, but increasingly detached from the driver thanks to endless electronic aids and gadgets, the Skyline is a turbocharged nostalgia rocket that harkens back to a time where the driver could more easily be connected to the machine, and to the road in turn.
日产天际线GT-R是真正的交易。看起来不错，表现出色，听起来很棒，并且是设计和工程的真正杰作。难怪人们在今天的这些汽车之后仍然渴望！
结论 - 这些年以后的日产天际线为什么流行？
As you can see, there are numerous reasons why the Nissan Skyline is so popular and desirable.
In our view, the fact that the Skyline GT-R always represented the pinnacle of Japanese performance motoring – in conjunction with featuring in movies and video games like the Fast & Furious franchise – is what has cemented this car’s role as such a desirable and ever-popular car.
There is just so much to love about the Nissan Skyline, that it’s not hard to see how it has become such a beloved and popular vehicle.
多个因素结合起来使这辆车成为传奇，并且具有传奇的知名度。
