I am willing to bet that he is talking about the R32, R33, and R34 that all ran variations of the RB26DETT engine. That is like the holy grail of ricer engines. The R32-R34 were in production from 1989 to 2002.

The skylines after these generations are better known as the V35 skylines which are basically your Infinity G35s here in the states. So again the current skylines aren't even that great. It was just the very mod friendly RB26DETT that everyone gets stupid over.

The newest concept Skyline GT-R is, like others have said, very expensive, it will be a solid car no matter what, but again very expensive.

Also Skylines have a very solid following in Japan because they are so old. The first Skyline was produced in 1957, so culturally they are like our Corvettes with a pretty big and detailed history in Japan
