The Skyline NISMO will be avaialbel to Japanese customers on in limited units (1000) this September. The exclusive Skyline NISMO Limited, just 100 units, will debut next summer.

  • Engine tuned by GT500 race engineers, pushing output from 298kW to 309kW with max torque up from 475Nm to 550Nm, ensuring potent acceleration.
  • Modes adjust engine response: standard for everyday drive, sport and sport+ for heightened RPMs and sharper response via NISMO-dedicated AT shift.
  • Performance tires balance grip, wider rear tires by 20mm optimise torque delivery. NISMO Enkei 19-inch aluminium wheels enhance responsiveness and cornering.

  • Tuned suspension, stabilisers reduce roll, sustain stability on uneven roads.
  • Brake pads with fade-resistant material, updated ABS for shorter braking. Vehicle dynamics control system matches stability enhancements.
  • GT-R NISMO adhesive tech boosts body rigidity.

  • Distinct NISMO exterior features: custom bumpers, side sill covers, fog lamps, NISMO logo, aerodynamic mouldings improve stability and drag.
  • Cabin mirrors 400R model quality, black tones set driving ambiance. Steering wheel, 280kph speedometer, red-accented tachometer.
  • NISMO-tuned Recaro sports seats for stability and comfort.
  • Five body colours, including NISMO Stealth Gray.

The Skyline NISMO Limited edition, conceived to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the S54A-1 model Skyline GT, features a design reminiscent of race cars.


Distinguished by a Takumi label celebrating the master craftsperson behind its engine assembly at the Yokohama Plant; this includes an exclusive serial plate indicating its production number, and a unique emblem.


While we're sad the 2024 Skyline isn't sold locally in Australia, we're certainly glad carmakers are still showing respect to models that helped garner a generation of car fans worldwide.
